Top trending “near me” searches in the Indianapolis area

• 4DX movie theater near me | While there are sadly no 4DX movie theaters in Indy, Alamo Drafthouse just opened, serving up a world class film and dining experience. Or you could make a trip of it and hop on Amtrak to Washington D.C for a true 4DX experience.
• Where to vote near me | Y’all did your civic duty this year, with almost 3 million Hoosiers hitting the polls to vote. We’ve got a while before our next election, but we’re always keeping you up to date on civic news in Indy, such as the 2025 city budget.
• Eclipse glasses near me | The eclipse really was a sight to behold. If you’ve still got your glasses hanging around, here’s how you can donate or recycle them.

The fact that “INDYtoday” wasn’t a top local search only hurts our feelings a little bit. There’s always next year.
