Indianapolis Motor Speedway Track Tours

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is one of the most iconic motorsports venues in the world, and its track tours offer families an unforgettable behind-the-scenes experience at the storied home of the Indy 500. The track tour allows visitors to board a bus and ride the legendary 2. 5-mile oval, experiencing the sheer scale of a circuit that has hosted over a century of racing history.

For children who love cars, speed, and big engineering, there are very few experiences in Indiana that match this sense of awe. The companion IMS Museum is a treasure trove of motorsports history, featuring authentic race cars from every era of the Indy 500 alongside trophies, photographs, and interactive exhibits that tell the story of the world's greatest race. Children of all ages find something to marvel at, from the gleaming vintage cars of the early 1900s to the sleek modern machines of recent years.

Staff and docents are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making the museum visit feel energetic rather than stuffy. The Speedway campus is expansive and well-maintained, with plenty of walking space and clear signage throughout. May is the most exciting time to visit when the campus comes alive with race preparation, but the experience is worthwhile year-round.
