    Broad Ripple Park

    Walk 39 minutes from Holliday Park to Broad Ripple Park. Arrive just as the golden light begins at 20:32. Find a spot near the water or the family center to watch the sun set toward the WNW. The park’s history as an old amusement park adds a quiet charm to the view.

    Broad Ripple Brew Pub

    End the night at the Broad Ripple Brew Pub. It is the oldest microbrewery in the state and the first brewpub in town. Enjoy an E.S.B., India Pale Ale, or Bitter in this British-style pub atmosphere after the sun has gone down.
