Absolutely amazing. Seriously. I think my expectations were kind of low, honestly. We arent a huge racing family or big into the sport, just casual observers when its on.The staff were all incredibly friendly. Pay the little extra for the tour around the track, its worth the experience. Very surreal!So many cool artifacts and cars from the past races. The little movie they play is also pretty neat if you have the 15-20 mins to spare.My kids loved it, my husband loved it, I loved it. Go! You wont be disappointed.
Fabulous collection of cars that ran in the Indy 500 (dating back to 1911), along with artifacts and great descriptions. Experiencing the Borg-Warner trophy feels surprisingly personal -- its behind a rope (of course), but not behind glass.Current special exhibit is From the Vault with lots more cars and trophies that are rarely available to view.For Covid19, temperature check and masks required. All items in the gift shop are behind ropes and a friendly and helpful salesperson helps you with your browsing. No cash used at the registers.
Wonderful place to visit to see the history of the race and the sport. Highly recommend the VIP Tour of the track and facility. You will never have a better opportunity to see places that only the racers can.
On a recent visit I was extremely impressed with the professionalism of the staff. Safety and service are excellent. The quality of the displays are outstanding. I would highly recommend checking out this local experience if you are in the Indianapolis area. Local and visitors alike.
One of the best collections of race cars in the world. They even have a few stock cars including Pettys car from his last season.
The tour that took us around the track was cool. Kissing the bricks at the Brickyard was epic. The museum was very cool but smaller than we anticipated.
The museum is bright, roomy and affordable. All our racing heroes are featured on the wall of victory. All aspects of the speedway history are displayed. On certain days you can tour the entire track in a van. The gift shop is pricey but fully stocked with many unique items. Fun for all. Dont miss it.
Great historic race cars all in one place.M-B W196 from 1955PC-7 was the first Penske wing car at IndyNew exhibit in October 2020.Worth a new visit when in town!
We are not even big race fans but well worth the visit.
Definitely a must stop for any race or automotive fan. Very helpful staff and the building is fantastic. So much history under one roof.
We got the Kiss the Bricks tour with museum access and it was totally worth it. The museum itself is a historical panorama of race cars, drivers, and background about the the speedway. They also have a rotating display that included sprint cars when we were there.As cool as the museum was, riding around the 2.5 mile track (even at 30 MPH) was tremendous. Stopping at the start/finish line to stand on or even to kiss the Bricks was awesome. If you are in Indianapolis, this is a must-see attraction.
This was a really fun so on a long road trip. Dozens and dozens of fabulous historical race cars. All cars on display are Indy 500 winners, as well as other significant race winning cars. Deeper into the displays the are race engines on display. If you get a chance, try the Indy 500 simulator.... wow, that wad fun!
Nice cars very respectful service nice place good for 8 and up kids (in my opinion)
Friendly people great place to visit.
QdAn amazing experience... the museum is chock full of interesting items, memorabilia, and facts. Totally worth the ticket just to experience this museum!The race must be a sight as well. Only saw the qualifying on Sunday but was fun as well, 230+ mph...thats fast! To think the first winner avg speed was 74mph. We have come a long way baby!
There is a vibe in the place!100+ years of history, loved my visit last year in October.The workmanship in the older cars is amazing.A highlight of our trip in the US.
Great experience, my guide Coop was extremely knowledgeable and gave me an amazing tour around the race track! The Golf Cart tour is worth every Dollar!
Loved the speedway! It was my first Indy 500 and it was amazing!The staff were really kind overall.But parking sucks
Great experience. The 30 minute Kiss the Brick tour was informative and fun.
The museum was great. The staff members were extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. There exhibits on display represented the history of the race really well. I liked the garage exhibit, I just wish it didnt feel so hidden. I would have liked to see more on the technology built into the cars and how its has evolved over the years. I also feel that they should involve the race enthusiast more with a better simulator setup and make it more competitive by having the ability to race against multiple people. Needs a pit lane exhibit; the under sung heros of racing. Deffinitly take the bus tour of the track and take the opportunity to kiss the bricks. If youve never been able to step on a world renowned race track, its a really great experience that will give you some perspective.
Super cool place to visit! The kiss the bricks tour is a must!! The gift shop had tons of great bargains on merchandise!
Muzeum has a lot of historic cars. This place is very unique, one of the must see in the entire USA. On top of that you could take a bus trip and visit the track. There is short breake at the end of the track so you could take a few pictures. I want to come back to see the race there.
We did the kiss the brick tour, it was very enjoyable, and the museum was very informative. We thought it would have more nascar items, but it was mostly IndyCar.
Fabulous people work here.It was a lot of fun and really enjoyed the stop on our way to great American Sportsman Showin Harrisburg pa.
Nice museum but I was expecting something much larger. The tour around the track was great
Great display of history and vintage race cars
Recommend doing the bus lap- tour guides are knowledgeable. Great exhibits with lots of classic and modern cars. Even if you have no experience with the Indy 500 its still interesting. You can take a picture in one of the cars. This museum is also part of the Bank of America program so check if you can get free admission as a cardholder (usually the first weekend of the month).
Absolutely an amazing museum that shows all the contributions that car builders and drivers have made to this awesome speedway over the last century plus. A must stop for anyone that enjoys international motorsports and is interesting in learning more history about this wonderful place. Highly recommended to anyone passing through.
Helpful and knowledgeable staff with Interesting exhibits related to Indy Racing. Well worth the cost of admission.
They have cool old race cars outside the museum. Inside there are a couple of merchandise stores but we didnt enter as entrance fee is $10 per person which is kinda expensive. Anyway there is a Titus cafe outside (still in the building) where you can get coffee and another merchandise/souvenir store where you can buy shirts and caps at less expensive price. We got a shirt for our nephew for only $8 and a cap for $18.
Very interesting and lots of fun. All of the staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable
Super cool place! If you are in from out of town or even a local resident, this place is a must see. You never know what or who you will see here. Open year round. Good place to go outside of races
Wow! Best racing museum I have ever visited. Awesome collection of historic Indy cars and memorabilia. Their sprint car display is awesome as well. If you are a racing fan, you owe it to yourself to visit! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The entry fee was well worth the price.
First off, we are not race fans. We were killing time and thought we would stop in. This was really cool. Got to see old Indy cars all the way to the new ones. The i formation was fascinating and got to go down on the track as well as drive a simulator. It was a lot of fun and i can see how a race fan would be in love. The Mario Andretti exhibit was there...dude was good.
If youre going to Indi, you must visit the speedway museum. It was very interesting and cool to see the track.
Great experience! The tour is $20 a person, free for the kids under 5 years old. Gift shop is awesome with tons of indianapolis souvenirs. The museum was awesome. Tons of cars, actual winer cars! Coolest was the 1911 winning car! Great family and racing lover experience! Gave a 4 of 5 just because of the price for admission....plan on spending about $100-200 for a trip.
Very clean, well spaced out, lots of hand sanitizer available. Definitely enjoyed the kiss the brick tour. Kids enjoyed it as well as the adults. Best to arrive when it opens to avoid crowds.
This place has some amazing facts...check it out
Awesome experience! Staff was engaging and polite.
Great museum and collection.Thanks for the military discount
The home of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing! A bucket list place to visit and event to attend! Its the largest single day sporting event in the world! So much history and pageantry! I love it!
My dad and I were life long race fans. After he passed I knew I had to make the pilgrimage down to see the race. Unfortunately I didnt make it to the race since they were calling for rain but I made it down the following day. It was amazing. Loved it! So much to learn and see! Definitely worth the drive!
Loved this place!! A dream come true!! The museum staff were friendly and very knowledgeable on all things Indy!! Make sure you take a trip around the track!!
Friendly staff, some great exhibits and great price.
This place has some amazing facts...check it out
Excellent historical timeliness the speedway. Lots of race cars from throughout the years.
What an awesome experience people were very friendly well knowledgeable...
We had so much fun
A great place to kill time before a concert (from Cincinnati). It was affordable and interesting to learn about the history of the Indy cars!
My 6yr old twins enjoyed it although there wasnt much for them to do other than view the cars. This is a great museum if youre a fan of the 500 race. Theres a good variety of cars to view.
Awesome for any racing fan. #Earnhardt♡
Prices can be aweful for food, yet you can bring your own. Bathrooms- as you would expect, disorganized staff and method of operations at times. However there is plenty of good times to be had here. And it only gets messy after an event of course, its well maintained otherwise. Expect rowdiness to stay outside the grandstands, security is visible and perhaps not always actively paying attention, easy to get their help when need be.
Fun place to visit, quite a few amazing cars that were winners of the Indianapolis 500, including the first to win in 1911.
We arrived at 450pm and were told by an employee that the museum was closed already. The kids didnt care. They were just thrilled to be there. Plenty of things to look at outside of the museum!
Came here during a short weekend trip to Indianapolis and i do not regret it one bit, the cars are all beautiful and well cared for, and with it being in the middle of the track you get some awesome views when in the inside of the building. All of the cars have their own sign to give you information about them, and the walls are covered in memorabilia and other cool items. The staff were friendly, and the entire building was quiet, which was nice. Theres a small simulator setup in the back, for $5 you get 3 laps of Indianapolis Motor Speedway inside a Forza game, in an Indycar. Going through all of the history of the track is an incredible experience that i recommend any racing fan to come see if they have the chance.
Huge, historical place with alot to see with fair prices
Amazing experience and a good track tour
Nice speedway with great museum and youth can see a lot of cars inside the museum and the story behind it.
Super track tour of the bricks followed by visitkng the outstanding history of racing!
Participated in the Kiss the Bricks Tour and it was awesome. The tour is only 30 minutes long but you get to ride the racetrack and hear about the history of it. The museum is beautiful and very informative. Definitely a place you want to take time and check out as a tourist if you ever came to visit the beautiful city.
Was pretty cool to walk around the museum. It cost $10 for adults and my year old was free. Plenty of interesting facts.
Absolutely incredible. Great time to be here.
Went today for the Ferrari challenge, tons of great-looking and great-sounding machines! And all for free. Really cool parade of Ferraris, including some retro ones. If I could attach all my pictures I would.
Couldnt make it for the race but the visit to the museum as well as the track tour was well worth it. Nice gift shop too!
Throughout the summer and fall, in the parking lot next to the museum, they also have Cars and Coffee! So, you can walk around with a cup of coffee while browsing the cars and talking to their owners. Then, you can head into the museum! It’s great!
Unique collection- always learn something new with each visit.
Take the tour so you can see the raceway up close and personal.....totally worth it!! We will have to come back and experience a race in person!!!
Its a must visit place for petrol heads and those who love the Indy 500 races, and to get a feel of the legendary race track. The museum was good too with the vintage and current race cars. Would recommend visit as it is one of the top 3 race tracks in the world.
If you love the Indy race, this is your place. Great antique cars and friendly staff.
Very cool! Plenty to look at and so much history. Didnt get there early enough to take the tour but I would have loved to! Im not a racecar fan but I still enjoyed this museum.
Just out and stop i dont have the words ro express it
Great history and tour through race track. Was sorry other tours werent available. We would have GLADLY gone on some of them.
Where do I begin? A lot of different race cars and a broad source of history on American racing and its drivers. Whether you just want to see what some cars that race look like or are really into it, this is a great Attraction for all ages. Here they also have a gift shop besides the museum. On the walk through youll also get the chance to play a virtual game in the seat of a driver. Some displays go as far as showing the mechanics of what makes the cars go.
An interesting museum with very friendly staff
I have been a casual Indy fan since I was a child...so cool to be there even though no racing was happening. I recommend the VIP Tour at $30 with guide Craig. It was a hoot and well worth the time and money.
Awesome experience and great venue including tours and interactive activities and photos
When you enter the museum, you can feel how this race track is legendary. You can see the borg warner trophy, and many winning-car of Indy500 race!And they have seasonal theme exhibit, so you will enjoy it. When I visit there, the pace-car Chevrolet Camaro special exhibit was held, there were many pace-car camaros.That was very good.And, you will see many engines (from past to now), and will see memorable goods of racing held in Indianapolis Motor Speedway, just like Formula One. You can see Michael Schumachers helmet.You can learn the history of motor racing at this museum!Dont miss the museum shop! There are so many goods and some goods are discounted!
An incredible museum and the VIP tour is a must. Gets you on the track and lots of behind the scenes.
Could be expanded and updated a bit, but always a good experience. Staff in museum always able to answer questions.
What a thrill and fun place to see and shop. New key chain with compliments from the track. At just a few dollars they told me about a November Sale.
Pricey, great collection If you are a fan! Didnt make it on time for the tour around the racetrack but enjoy looking around the museum. Nice experience for the kids.
Always a great time with different drivers featured each year. This year was Mario Andretti. Awesome cars and stories.
Its a great place to visit especially if youre an automotive enthusiast.
Awesome experience, meticulously maintained facilities, very reasonable pricing for a sports arena.
A must see if in the area. So much history is here. You will not be disappointed.
It was a great place a lot of history, a little disappointed they didnt have more on NASCAR in the museum
If your a car racing buff, this is a must visit place. The history of indy cars and racing.
If you like the Indianapolis 500 or racing in general, the IMS Museum is a great place to spend the day. Being so close to some of the most iconic vehicles from the various decades dating back to the beginning is amazing. The craftsmanship on display is simply incredible. I recommend also taking a bus ride around the track.
Got to check this place out if you love racing. So much history at this track.
Love the hospitality and history of the indy500
Great experience! The bus tour is worth the extra 10 bucks. Do it!
Was an excellent way to kill some time and stretch our legs on a long trip. Some nifty exhibits to be seen.
Well maintained. A good museum of vintage race cars, etc in a beautiful manner.
I go here alot, and I always have a good time. Very cool selection of cars out, this is a must if your a race fan. They also have an amazing gift shop with plenty of diecast and t shirts.
Great display of actual winning race cars and a special display of the Unser family contribution to Indy history. I was there on a day when track access wasnt available but it would be a recommended experience when at the museum.
