Things To Do In Indianapolis

Even though Indianapolis is known as the Crossroads of America, visitors and locals have plenty of reasons to stick around. Indy is home to an innovative skywalk system, the largest single-day sporting event in the US, and the largest children’s museum in the world. If you’re looking for things to do in Indianapolis, here are a few suggestions to help you get started.

Tickets & Events

Visitors to Indianapolis should consider an Active Indy Tour. These guided walks are offered at a “human pace,” and focus on exploration rather than completion.

Held over Memorial Day weekend, the Indy 500 is attended by more than 250,000 people. Fans of racing can also explore the history of the iconic race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.
