What to do and see in Indianapolis, Indiana (IN): The Best Fun Activities & Games

November 21, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

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.

Mind Tripping Show

National Touring performers Christian & Katalina are at the Hilton with a funny, surprising, interactive, and intimate, interactive theatrical show called Mind Tripping: A Comedy with a Psychological Twist. Christian & Katalina, the #1 Husband & Wife Comedy Mind Reading Act, take audiences on a series of mind-bending adventures that is pure fun. The show is a psychological thriller that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. Think Candid Camera meets the Twilight Zone. Perfect for teenagers age 13 and older. It is a great show for date night, birthday and anniversary celebrations, and ladies night out. Shows are Friday and Saturday nights.

Christian and Katalina have great chemistry together. They're very funny, personable, and put on an amazing show with lots of audience participation. I actually saw an audience member do a literal "spit take" while laughing during the show!

Action Duckpin Bowling

Reviewed By Porthos7 - West Chester, United States

AMAZING PLACE! The people here are fantastic (ask about the history of the place). You can do the classic 20's/30's or 1950's "Atomic" theme (which has an old speakeasy attached to it!) "Duckpin" Bowling. Similar to regular bowling, but with 3 balls per frame using a grapefruit size ball and hitting pins attached tio strings. Totally fun experience!

Twisted Room Escapes

An Escape room is a real-life adventure game where your team uses problem solving skills to complete a mission. The mission is commonly “escaping” from a locked room within a 60 minute time frame. Your team must work together in order to find clues and solve puzzles that will lead to your escape.

My son and his girlfriend just had a joint surprise 16th birthday party here, with parents and siblings. Everyone absolutely LOVED the experience. We very much appreciated being able to get as many clues as needed from the room monitor. Clues were very helpful without just giving away the answer. Puzzles, codes to solve, and items in the room (displays, hidden things opening, etc) were amazing. My son and I have done 2 different rooms a few years ago at the Escape Room downtown Indy above the Old Spaghetti Factory. Those were also great. But I would say that this one is set-up even better. I am a math & organizational person, so I love puzzles and challenging things. Room was set up wonderfully, and room monitoring and helpfulness was just what we needed. We made it out of The Collection room with about 3 minutes to spare! We will DEFINITELY be back! Perfect room for right before Halloween.

Went with family- party of 8 from 15 to 71 and had a blast. I am a 69 yr old grandmother and had no problem - was I good? NO but still was a great time for all. I almost got a bulls eye. Porkchop was our ‘Viking’ who taught us and led our group - he was fun, energetic and a great teacher giving us tips and making the ‘games’ so fun. Highly recommend for a couple or family group.
