Carmel, Indiana is a charming suburb of the city of Indianapolis. This area has a lively arts scene with plenty of music and commerce downtown and in other areas of the town.

Carmel is just a few minutes north of Indianapolis. Many visitors use their time in the area to explore both locations as thoroughly as possible. If you have business in Indianapolis, staying in Carmel is also a good option. You are conveniently located near the larger city, but you have a great place to escape and enjoy peace and quiet when you need it.

If you enjoy looking into regional art when you travel, you will not want to miss the Arts and Design District. This area houses art galleries as well as antique stores, specialty shows, showrooms, restaurants and other retail establishments. This district highlights the prime artistic community in the region.

The city's Children's Art Gallery has been entered into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's smallest children's art gallery. This small attraction is worth a visit when you are in the city and though it is small, it is easy to find with its Main Street location.

As long as you are viewing museums, you might want to take a look at the Museum of Miniature Houses. This unique attraction has many special exhibits such as antique dollhouses with mini-art, furniture and other tiny items. The museum also has modern dollhouses with extravagant features.

This city also features a brand new performing arts center where you can always find special events happening. The Palladium concert hall within the venue has the most performances throughout the year and the center itself is a work of art. The center has two additional theaters that offer a variety of community performances and events. All of the halls and theaters within the center are also available for rent.

The Actors Theater of Indiana is a wonderful venue to check out when you need nighttime entertainment. This non-profit company formed in 2005 and it has become well known throughout the state for its professional performances.

There is plenty of beauty within the city as well. The Coxhall Gardens holds a lot of evidence of that beauty. These gardens are the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful architecture of the sculptures that surround the gardens. Children have their own special garden on the grounds and there are even special concerts held at the outdoor amphitheater.

Carmel even has its own Central Park, just like New York City. The park is in the center of the city with 161 acres of lagoons, boardwalks, wetlands and hiking trails. Inside the park, visitors will find the Monon Community Center, a 146,000 square foot facility with the best features of any such center in the state. The center has a fitness area, a pool, a gym, a track and various meeting rooms. The area water park is also on the grounds with various slides, pools and water rides to entertain guests on a hot summer afternoon.

For a taste of the city's culture, the farmer's market is a good event to attend. The market is held on a seasonal basis and visitors can buy fresh fruit, baked goods, flowers, jams and many other items from local vendors. The market is a great place to walk, chat with residents and buy fresh items.

The nearby Indianapolis has just as many things to see and do. This city is home to the world's fastest racecars and the famous Indianapolis 500.
