Opened in 1929 and originally owned by Paramount Pictures with a starry sky-type atmosphere on the ceiling, one of only 12 such theaters in the US and Canada, then also with a Spanish village-themed auditorium. Occupies a central piece of the downtown skyline.
Italianate/Second Empire-style house that was built in 1873 on a plot that was an original part of the townsite.

Home of the Anderson Ravens' athletics and sporting events.
A fairly embellished scare park that is open from early September to early November.
One of the only places to get a gyro in Anderson, typically served with lamb, cucumber-garlic sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onion. King Gyro's also serves regular American fast food, like hamburgers. Customers always note King Gyro's quality food and low prices.
An old-fashion burger joint, cozy and comfortable. Visitors remember the bright yellow paint, the toy train running around the ceiling, and the burgers on toast (they do have buns though).
Has an indoor pool. If you have a room overlooking the cemetery, you can just pull the curtain shut.
Has cabins available along with bike rentals and firewood if you want to build a campfire.
Replacing Good's Candy Shop in 2021, Uranus Fudge Factory is a candy store on the outskirts of Anderson. The staff is nice and you'll have a good time with family here. Lots of fudge is available, but other candy is also sold there and even merchandise as well.
The Indianapolis International Airport is an hour car ride South-East of Anderson.
