Things to do in Indianapolis, Indiana (IN): The Best Tours
High-speed, history and good old Hoosier hospitality are a few reasons to put Indianapolis on your list of great getaways. Sports is another. From the legendary Indianapolis 500 to the Pacers and the Colts, the city offers ample opportunities to view professional and amateur sporting events, take part in athletic events and visit sports museums. At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Hall Of Fame Museum you can tour the famous track (try to reserve tickets if there is a race in town) or visit the museum dedicated to automobiles and auto racing. Other sporty museums include the NCAA Hall of Champions. To get in on some of the action, head to SportZone which features six acres of indoor athletic facilities the whole family will enjoy. Those less interested in sports, or with kids in tow, can still find tons to do in and around the city. History, art and other cultural attractions abound. Visit the Children's Museum or checkout the zoo. Stroll along cobblestone streets past 19th-century buildings in the Lockerbie Square District or visit any number of historic landmarks. Known as the "Crossroads of America," more interstate highways bisect Indianapolis than any other city in the country, making it an exciting and easily accessible destination.

This was a great experience in learning how to make sushi, spring rolls and miso soup. The food we made was also very good to eat. Our teacher was wonderful! She held our interest, freely gave us hints, background information and was overall fun to listen. She readily gave us tidbits on Japanese culture, what equipment was best to buy and how to make the most of what we purchased (such as making a rice cooker cake in the rice cooker). We highly recommend this for learning, entertainment and a great way to spend a few hours!!!

This is something you must try if you haven’t already it was a lot of fun!! Tip-for anyone who is traveling and plans on doing this the same day you arrive pay attention to the difference in time zone if it applies. I booked online in advance but planned on going same day we arrived into Indianapolis from Wisconsin and I didn’t take into consideration the 1 hour time difference. Luckily when I called and explained what happened they said it does happen often with travelers and they were able to reschedule me for next day just a different mission as I was only in town for a couple of days. The mission I originally booked had no more openings for my time frame. We ended up doing the James bond which I was told is normally for a larger group ( a lot to find and do in this room) but they made it work for a party of 2 and my husband and I had a great time! We had Kaitlyn I believe was her name who led us into mission and she was great and a lot of fun! I am so excited that I want to plan a family event so they can all try! It was a little rough having to keep mask on when your kind of running around trying to find clues etc., but I understand safety and health 1st. I hope this helps anyone who is planning a visit here. If you attend you will definitely have fun. This was our 1st time trying and it was a blast even though we didn’t make it out!
7. Fountain Square Food Tour
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 8 reviews
Fountain Square served as the southside's primary commercial corridor since the 1860's. Its laid back atmosphere, beautifully designed buildings and accessibility made it a popular neighborhood for decades. In the early 20th century, the neighborhood had more theaters than any part of Indianapolis, and became an important cultural destination. Fountain Square has recently seen a rapid transformation to a neighborhood with unique restaurants, and trendy art galleries located in renovated buildings. The Fountain Square Food Tour will give you an in-depth look at the area and its surroundings; from humble beginnings to grandeur, rapid decline to resurgence. We will enjoy food from long standing institutions, and hip new destinations.

We had Dani as our guide. She was amazing! She knew her history well and she was very fun. My husband and I were glad we got to see lots of parts of the city and restaurants because we don’t live in the area. The food was a great variety and I loved the differing styles of food and atmosphere each restaurant brought. Definitely recommend!
