Reviews
Beautiful museum campus. There is lots to read and learn. Entertaining and enlightening for both kids and adults.
Loved the Santa's workshop "Celebration Crossing" and the ride-on train "Snowfall Express" through a magical forest of animals and moving winter scenes! I would highly recommend going next year. It was not too busy when we went on Christmas eve. We rode the train 4 times!!
Such an awesome museum! Lots to see, and very welcoming. So many things for kids and adults alike to explore. Plenty of interactive exhibits. I'd love to go back soon!
Layout and look of the mueseum was very nice. A lot of exhibits were interactive which was fun. Beautiful decorations for Christmas.
Underground parking helped avoid the effects of winter weather. The central corridors had a number of seasonal (Christmas) displays and activities. The exhibit areas had detailed displays covering regions of the state along with the peoples, animals and geology in it. If you are interested in details, you can spend plenty of time satisfying your curiosity here.
I have never been to the Indiana State Museum before today and I am glad I finally went, it was fun for the whole family there is something for all ages. I really liked the prehistoric history of Indiana and my kids enjoyed learning about the important things that Hoosiers had done through the years. There was a food court that was nice and a cool gift shop. We took the train ride on the third floor for the Christmas special and my kids thought that was fun. If you use the parking garage ask about a discount from the ticket desk.
Great kid-friendly place. Brought ages 2-11 and everyone enjoyed it.
I came into the tour and museum with basically zero racing knowledge. I learned quite a bit about the history of racing and particularly the history of the Indy 500. I found it fun and informative and felt that the staff rolled out the red carpet for our group (we were there with the FFA during National Convention week).
If you are any kind of a race fan this is one of the most iconic tracks in the world! Unfortunately the museum is closed but we took the tour and visited the gift shop. Our tour guides were great and made the tour even more fun. We got to visit the winners podium and suites. There also happen to be a test of the new electric Hummers going on so we did get to see some of that. Overall great experience and I hope to come back for a race day and when the museum reopens.
While temporarily closed, they are still doing tours when available. Took a great tour of the pagoda and got to see views of the track I’ve never seen before. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly answering all my questions. Seemed to be well organized even though they just changed locations due to closure of museum.
A neat tour about the history of the speedway. You can take an on-track tour of the race course. They let you out at the starting line and give you a chance to "kiss the bricks" and take photos. Inside the museum has many displays that tell about the history of the speedway. There are many cars on display that won previous races as well.
What a fun experience! Definitely recommend the Kiss the Bricks tour! Buy tickets in advance! Give yourself a few hours to spend at the IMS! On the KtB tour, they take you on a 45 minute narrated tour around the 2.5 mile track and provide you with a wealth of history along the way! Once you arrive at the bricks (finish line), you’re allowed to exit the bus and take photographs, and even kiss the bricks like the tradition is for the winner of the Indy 500! The museum is awesome too! Many of the vehicles used to race are on display. There are interactive exhibits as well! At the end, there is a large gift shop with tons of items to purchase. We definitely recommend doing this tour if you’re ever anywhere near Indy or Speedway!
Very cool, family friendly plaza. The monument itself is very impressive. Free 20 floor stair climb to the top, or $3 elevator ride.
It’s a good place to take a walk with your puppy. The place is full of different birds. It also has a wonderful fall color.
Great place, lots of interesting race cars and history. We did the kiss the bricks tour around the track. Museum closing November 6 2023, for remodel. Reopens in 18 months.
We are so lucky to have this beautiful park full of great hiking, birds (eagles, owls, pileated woodpeckers….), and spectacular views. Stop by for a picnic or a hike if you are passing through.
Great place, friendly knowledgeable staff. Our kiss the bricks tour guide Gary was great. Lots of race history and cars. Gift shop had a lot of items on sale. Museum closing November 6 2023 for 18 month remodel.
We were here for a private event and did not actually get to see a race! The staff were amazing and had a wonderful time at this facility. Would love to come back on a race day. The location is perfect, about 15 minutes from downtown Indianapolis.
This is an amazing outdoor venue! The parking is outrageous along with the drinks 🍹. But, it’s downtown Indianapolis (the money maker in Nap 😴 Town) anyway…Kevin Gates had a truly amazing show here for the 2nd year in a row. Production and sound was on point along with the energy and vibes.
What a great day at the wine & food experience!
Amazing place for all racing fans and not only! Museum is nice, a lot of nice indy Cars, all described. When i was around 3pm in October, we was Looking for a Training session. Sound is incredible.
LOVED THIS MUSEUM
It is the best children museum I have ever been to.
The outdoor area with all the sports experience was out of the world. We enjoyed golf, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, football, racing... it was amazing.
The indoor area had so many interesting exhibits, including minecraft and pop art.
We went when the museum opened. We left when the museum closed.

Fall Break fun at the Children's Museum! We go to the haunted house every year and always enjoy it! The museum didn't disappoint either. Lots of fun things to see and learn about. Buy your tickets in advance to avoid long wait lines into the museum.
A lovely nature center! There's lots of local creatures to see, fun games and puzzles, and very clean restrooms.
The best children's museum! The area around the museum is not the best. But the museum itself is absolutely amazing! My favorite thing is they are constantly changing exhibits, so if you go once a year will be something new for your kids to see/do. The exhibits that stay constant are fun to revisit multiple times! The best deal is to become a member. The membership pays for itself within a few visits. They have a few days a month when it's really cheap to get in, but those days are ridiculously crazy. Always go in the morning, it's the least busy then, especially during the week. Food is pretty expensive, so I always pack our lunch and bring snacks and water bottles.
Enjoyed seeing this. Pretty cool. The buildings look like they are moving & a great tribute to our soldiers. As well as our country. There is construction going on. But still able to see move around. At Christmas I herd downtown is beautiful.
White River State Park is fabulous. What beautiful place that Indy has created. I will definitely be back there in the foreseeable future, especially for concerts. I've been to two concerts since they've been in existence - Carlos Santana and the Indy Jazz Fest. Wonderful, wonderful ❤️ experience.
Review for Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Recently visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum and was thoroughly impressed. The journey through automotive evolution, seeing how race cars have progressed over the years, was fascinating. It's not every day you get to see the actual winning cars from so many iconic races. The 30-minute track tour was a highlight — driving past all four corners and stopping at the legendary brick yard was surreal. A must-visit for anyone with even a passing interest in motorsports. Highly recommend!

What an INCREDIBLE museum! The price tag, not knowing, really is a gut punch, but it is well worth it! Bring a sack lunch if you can- eating in their food court is SO expensive for so little!
The museum itself is GIGANTIC and completely full of interactive activities in a huge variety! There is something for everyone. I took my 3, 6 and 8 year olds and they all found something fun to do in every area we went to. We were there for four hours and didn't even see everything in the main building. We got through 2.5 floors and wished we could have stayed longer!
Overall, if we are ever back in Indy we will come back!

Far exceeded my expectations! In town for a conference & had some extra time. Started on the red loop (6 miles). Stopped at the marina & saw they had kayaks to rent, so did that for 2 hours. Saw a ton of birds & turtles. Finished with the rest of the red loop. Marina has a good selection of drinks & snacks. Water faucets scattered throughout the park. Highly recommend!
Amazing place! Something for everyone, from dinosaurs to Chihuly glass and outdoor sports, to rock climbing walls. Children's meals are generous and priced under $8. Guests may bring their own food and store it in a locker. There is plenty of Stroller Parking. The staff are knowledgeable and easy to interact with. Oh! And the parking is free! Come early, and stay till close, and you might see most of it!
I take my son here often. The museum is very fun and interactive with so many different exhibits, there's no way you can go there and not find something interesting. One thing I have noticed is how exceptionally clean it is. Thousands of children go through the place and out of all the times I've been, I have never seen a piece of trash on the ground, not even a wrapper. It has plenty of open spaces that are easy to navigate, but there are a few spots that can be a little cramped such as the mirror maze and Egypt exhibit. The dinosphere is one of the best dinosaur exhibits I have seen and though it's small compared to some, they have many specimens and utilize the space very well. They even have a lab that you can look into and see paleontologists at work. The staff are always friendly and they change exhibits regularly so there is always something new to see. I highly recommend it and know that anyone who visits will not be disappointed.
Beautiful, well-maintained and a quiet park across the White River canal. Vast green grass ground gives the feel of smooth woollen blanket on the earth, giving a soothing experience when one walks on bare foot. People come in group or as couple or alone but every one enjoys spending leisure time with nature surrounded by great buildings of JW Marriott and others. Friendly footpath, resting spots need special mention. Memorable time guaranteed.
Very nicely done museum. Two floors of exhibits and a lot of history.
This museum is free will donation and definitely worth it

We found it amazing to watch a race that was counter clock wise and all vehicles had their headlights on during the entire race! saw the Sunday Weather Tech Classic race which was amazing! The weather was perfect, parking was perfect and the golf cart ride back to our car was much appreciated;
The place is 45degrees..
Sushi is amazing

The park needs proper maintenance. The swim.area is a mess. Even the bathrooms are in terrible shape.
What a great park for kids. We brought out 2 year old here and he had a blast at the nature center, playground and hikes. The playground was nice and big too.
The museum was very well laid out. I enjoyed looking at the cars, the winner wall and the other things in the displays. We chose to take the tour too and really enjoyed seeing some of the 'race day' behind the scenes areas up close. Our tour guides were fun and knowledgeable and I learned all sorts if interesting trivia. Frankly, not a fan, but still overall enjoyable.
This was so cool! I've visited during the winter.. but had no clue there was an elevator to the top! The views were amazing, & on this particular day, we got to ride the elevator for free ( donations accepted). The staff was very friendly & knowledgeable! The elevator was definitely a claustrophobic nightmare... but I survived lol
This was my first experience on a race track and could only imagine how lively it would look during a race. The museum was awesome too. Never did I think that racing went back that far in history. Good learning and insights into this sport.
Beautiful area...enjoyed a nice walk with my teen! The only part that bothered me was how gross the river was...oil sheen on top.. debris floating around, kinda smelled like garbage which was sad because we saw some great wildlife around it!
Theres plenty of better beaches around but this ones not that bad its got piniv seating and a grill plus a park next door to the beach enclosure
I had so much fun with my 3yr old niece! She loved the animal and the prehistoric exhibit. In case your little one is distracted or not interested in an exhibit, they have plenty of children's activity tables throughout the museum. Great time for the whole family!
I rented the beach shelter for my daughter's graduation. It was a great experience. Except for all the litter and the port o potty was disgusting. Lucky there was an actual bathroom that was clean enough. There were plenty of trash receptacles. I'm shocked at how many Corona bottle caps we picked up around the shelter. Probably 30-40. There were plenty more but I was there to hist a party not clean up the joint. We saw a group of 4 people walk past the shelter with a huge box of Corona. Obviously they frequent the area and just throw their caps wherever. I wish there was more regulation over people littering and disrespecting park rules.
Very neat monument. Incredible detail on the sculpting and masonry. Looks awesome in the winter, apparently.
The only thing I wish that was changed about this is that it should be entirely a park around it. Currently it is just a road (which is comprised of old brick). There's one segment that has turned into a turf 'lawn', and people seemed to love it. Would be awesome if there were more public pedestrian space around it, because it's so neat.

Great distinction for an evening stroll. Indianapolis is very walkable so get out and see it. The monument and fountain are beautiful. The whole circle is full of restaurants, bars, and stores. Nice areas to sit and enjoy take out.
What an amazing place. The history of it alone would have brought me here. I was in town for DCI championships heard the corps were warming up here and headed over. Awesome park loaded with history, but I believe that’s Indianapolis as a whole. Can’t wait to come back.

First time in Indianapolis. In the morning, we were going to Monument, and the elevator was out of order. It was sweaty fun to go all way up and down. I did my legs day for sure. And it's made my trip more fun than I expected.
A gorgeous place to enjoy some kayaking or paddle boarding! We love all the hikes and all the views. A quite place in a busy city with so much to see. We go there almost weekly and still have so much to explore!
This was a beautiful park! Very well maintained, unique art sculptures throughout and a canal walk, all of which completely made you forget that you were in the middle of downtown city. I would say it's even more beautiful at night with all the lights perfectly accenting the landscape and canal. A must visit for the day if ever in Indianapolis. Although not sure about parking because we walked from the hotel that overlooked the park.
This place is very nice! A lot of walking, so make sure you have on comfortable shoes. I love their different exhibits; the kid history and Greece were my favorites. I appreciate all of the hand sanitizing wipes and liquids that they have placed around the museum.
The outdoor sports center was FUNNNN! My boys loved being able to play all the sports. Make sure your kids are wearing closed toe shoes.
The place was spotless, even the cafeteria and bathrooms. I appreciated the free parking.
The only con is that the food place closes pretty early, so if you plan to eat there, arrive before 2:30.
If you are visiting from out of town and plan to go to the zoo and children’s museum, purchase the Indy Pass to save. You can visit both within 24 hours if you purchase the day pass. We arrived at the CM at 11:30 am, then made sure we arrived at the zoo by 10/30-11 am the next day.

Went to the museum and to fast Friday for the 500. Such a cool place.... so much history! Even if you're not a racing fan it's such a storied place to go! Can't wait to go in a few weeks for my first Indy car race!!
I thought that I was not a big fun of auto racing until we visited this museum. I bought tickets in advance, just wanted to entertain my boys. When we came to museum we were offered an extra guided tour to the racetrack, Victory Podium and the iconic Pagoda. After visiting Victory Lane. We traveled to the top of the Pagoda for a breathtaking view of the Speedway and the surrounding downtown skyline.
The museum is full of vintage cars, trophies, photographs, fine art, and other artifacts. So fascinating.

I only came for a night trail run. It was fun and beautiful! My time was off because I stopped to take in the views. My only regret is not being able to see it during daylight!
This was another fun weekend trip destination for my family and I. If you go, plan to be there all day. Lots of exhibits to explore and activities to interact with. Little bit of something for everyone. Bit of a tip, though: your tickets can be scanned multiple times. I suggest leaving to eat and then returning. We paid 50$ just for a burger and chicken strip basket. Other than that, fantastic experience.
Went for the wine fest. Amazing time, great wine, good food, lost of fun!

Overall very insightful ...'focused on the true identity of Indiana...
'Touches a lot of bases all equally important to the State.

So much fun! Clean facilities, and had a great day with friends - definitely would recommend!
Customer service is always great!! I’ve been here a couple of times and I always feel welcome. Beach is always clean.
One of the absolutely most beautiful monuments in the world. The architecture and design behind this is amazing. Plus the combination with the water makes it a must see. There is a museum as well, unfortunately it is closed for remodeling. There are some picnic tables in which to sit and enjoy the place as well. The whole design around the circle makes this place a destination.
A must visit! Beautiful ruins and a gorgeous river outback. Definitely be prepared to walk and swim.
I experienced this place with my son and his wife, n daughter on Father's Day we had a nice Walk through the woods we went on the one mile trail. We as seen couple walking there cat, I thought it was great to see. But overall I liked it very much. I will like to come back again on a longer trail.👍🤗
Ce lieu est vraiment fantastique. Pour vous bien dire, c'est un lieu où l'on retrouve des monuments historiques témoignant une partie de l'histoire des États-Unis. J'aime la façon dont l'architecte dessine cet endroit. Parce que, quand on voit ça on ne peut dire que WOW, c'est fantastique...
Took my daughter to the Pride festival. Everything was well organized and clean. Had a great time. Glad we could show our support.
Had a difficult time getting my tickets to transfer, or show up on my phone, or something... was scared we were going to miss the show.
But we had 2 angels working as staff help us, one at the gate who kindly tried her best, then passed us on to the girl at the box office who got us our tickets & into the show. Both were friendly, patient & extremely helpful with something that was SO not their problem. Angels..... truly.

A beautiful park with nice mature trees for shade. Great, convenient location downtown Indianapolis. Joe Denning and Laura Dowling are exceptional to work with when having an event in Military Park. Thank you!
This park is one of Indy's best gems. Miles of wooded, dirt paths wind you through pines and other new and old-growth trees. I love that they pepper benches through at beautiful overlooks around the trail that goes around the Ornithology Center. There are miles of marked trails, though they can be a little confusing sometimes. You can always just make your way back to the water. There are also kayak rentals and a launch point. It's a beautiful place.
This park is one of mine and my families' favorite places to hike. 🩷 Next weekend, we're going to traverse onto the lake and maybe do some fishing. The trails are beautiful and ongoing, I could stay out there for hours. It's a perfect place to work on some photography. 📸
Beautiful new venue. Short lines for drinks and restrooms. We had a box seat that was wide and roomy. Beautiful park around the entrance. Well done Indy.
This trail goes all around downtown Indianapolis passing a lot of great eateries and entertainment as well as bringing you past some great monuments. Need to explore more as I believe this truly is one of the best ways to experience and get to know Indianapolis.
This race track is nice. Even has its own golf course on it. The atmosphere at the track is Great!! I highly recommend visiting this location. Traffic at this location is crazy on race day. I highly recommend leaving early to get in. Has a car museum there. The price of merchandise was high. Had a great time.
Very pleasant environment for all sorts of light activities. Great for photography too.
I really love this place, Eagle Creek is a very nice park to spend time with friends and family, lots of space, picnic tables, parking, all around a fun time.
Perfect for an afternoon stroll. I like to go late afternoon and catch the sunset on the white river state park . The park is well maintained.
My only negative point is that there is no free parking around . You will have to park off the street and pay the park meters or pay the outdoor parking or underground .

This is a free museum on the ground floor - left side of the elevator. I was a little confused because there wasn’t a reception or place to get a ticket, but this is a small walk in museum dedicated to the firefighters of Indy.
Totally recommend visiting if you’re in Mass Ave!

Playground for older kids. There is a pool open in summer. I was there in winter so everything was closed. Picnic tables. So swimming in the lake. I enjoy the view though.
Scenic path running through some local areas of "cultural interest."
A fun little museum! Free to get in, but donations are welcome, and we had the great opportunity to have our visit guided by a 92 year old who was a thirty year veteran of the Indy Fire Dept! It was a very interesting touch to hear the history of the department from someone who had lived through so much of it! Definitely a place to stop by and spend some time while you stroll Mass Ave!
Enjoy this beautiful trail in downtown Indy.
Stay healthy and well.
Cheers to that!

Knowledgeable, friendly staff. I always make sure to get to their seasonal sales. All the native plants I've purchased over the years completely thrive in my yard. Thank you ICT!
Singlehanded the #1 example of innovative Quality of Life investment in the mid-Atlantic / Midwest. Based on the concept of Brian Payne of CICF & launched with private foundation funding leadership and city partnership thus is a monumental achievement! This example of separated bikeways/ urban pathways mixed with green infrastructure and top quality hardscape & landscaping is Exhibit A everywhere else in US on how to invest in community connectivity & to help drive focused redevelopment investment in long stagnant areas. A++ work by Kevin Osburn and team of designers & vision by Brian Payne & Glick Foundation!
What a great little museum! No entry fee, though donations are welcome. Two big old fire trucks, lots of great little details. Worth a quick stop!
We spent the day taking in everything. Walking into the War Museum my breath was taken away. The detail to everything was amazing. The layout is well done. Start with the tomb of the unknown. Absolutely astonishing and well done. The monuments for WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam are amazing. Each had the names of the lost inscribed so that they would not have died in vane. The monolith, again well done. I'll have to look online and see who is represented by the carvings. I know one to be Moses, the other three I can't quite place. I took hundreds of pictures. The only problem we had was some of the location description at the pedastals were not readable. That did not deter our awe of the Hall.
A wonderful showcase of the history lived by brave men and women who freely put their lives at risk to save others.
Holliday Park has beautiful grounds, the Rock Garden is amazing (has stairs to take..no stroller unless small), the Ruins was nice to cool your feet off in after a good 3 hour hike. A+++ area for family.
One of my favorite places to walk in downtown Indy.
Distinctive building and grounds on northern section of popular Massachusetts Avenue.
Built in 1872 and still standing?? It has two Stutz's that were built right here in Indianapolis.
This park is a hidden gem tucked away in its own little corner of heaven. The ruins are magnificent. They do not cover a huge area but you find yourself lingering, daydreaming amidst the beautiful flowers. The sound of flowing water & birds chirping fills you with a sense of peace. The Nature Center was a delight for children & adults. They have a 2nd floor with a elevator to be used by handicapable individuals which I thought was absolutely wonderful. The playground area is amazing. 3 different playground areas for different age groups. We took our 2 year old & he thoroughly enjoyed playing on the "big kids" equipment. On the way back to our car we chose to walk thorough the grass & although we saw people walking dogs, never once thought to look down for poo...we were too busy admiring the trees, saying Hi to passerby's, & enjoying our time together. We did not visit the trail portion BUT will be returning to walk them. Literally cannot say enough good things about this park.
When in Indy, don’t miss visiting memorial park! There a beautiful water canal district that runs through about 5 blocks of the city! We loved riding the paddle boats up and down the canal and seeing all these historic sites on the way. Supe me family friendly!
Nice parks to spend 2 hours, make sure you do a trail going to the whiteriver. It is a short trail but had a nice scenery.
Beautifully clean without the constant bag here and cigarette bud there. The only real drawback was waiting a hour for the motorboat, giggidy, rental just to be told the only one was already about to be booked.
The company I work for (Glick) has the pleasure of working with the Cultural Trail on volunteer events each year. Their staff is amazing and so organized. They're always prepared to host our events and we love the opportunity to beautify this Indianapolis landmark! Keep up the great work ICT team!
Thanks to all who are supporting the Cultural Trail. Thanks for helping to beautify Indianapolis and for bringing together all of Downtown's points of interest for visitors and residents.
And to all of the crew and staff who maintain and expand the Trail and The Bikes, your efforts are priceless. THANKS❗
