Unique experience to visit for the eclipse event. Got very excited for the rare chance to walk on the track and explore the facility. Unfortunately, the museum was closed for renovation. It will be reopened in April 025 according to their website.
My son and I stopped here on our way back to the airport for a fun activity before heading home. I had never been to a speedway before let alone the largest one on the planet. We had a blast. They offer a few different tours all which very reasonable. I believe they also offer some Experiences where you actually get to be in a race car which are a little bit more pricey and not what we were looking for at the time. Staff were super friendly, they have a cute little gift shop and everyone was very knowledgeable. It was an overall great experience
I have not attended a race here. We went to this venue for the 2024 Total Eclipse. It was a unique experience. Luckily, my husband and I went to breakfast before arriving. We were with a large party and those who chose to eat at the speedway spent almost an hour in food lines. My husband used to go to the speedway every year and said they had parking and traffic under control during big events so traffic should not be an issue. However, we sat in the parking lot for 45 minutes before moving an inch. I don't know if it was just this event or if the traffic organization has gone down hill.
Came to the IMS for the Solar Eclipse event through NASA so I can't comment on their car racing but the grounds are massive! They sure know how to handle a crowd and were able to keep traffic moving. There are plenty of bathrooms inside and green areas to sit and relax.
I had the time of my life at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway! Such a cool and iconic place to visit. Everything was so fun!
If you find yourself in Indianapolis, take an hour and take a lap around the Indy Race Track while listening to its fascinating history and cutting-edge technology, like the SAFE barriers that protect the barrier walls and help soften the impact of the car when they hit the wall at speeds of up to 230 miles per hour!!!!
Walk along (or kiss if you must) the original bricks that gives this raceway its nickname, the Brickyard.
Well worth your time, cool on many levels, and available year-round.
Enjoy.

I loved this place. The employees were super kind. There was so much history in each car on display! We got to ride on the track ad well, and it was so cool! It was amazing. I would definitely recommend it!
Such an amazing place for race fans! So much history. Unfortunately the museum is closed for renovations but I did take a tour and stopped in the gift shop. We had awesome guides who had so much knowledge about the track. Worth a visit if you’re in Indy!
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.
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.
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!

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;
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.
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!!
