Golf Cart Tours

The Golf Cart Tour is our most in-depth and intimate tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway grounds, showcasing restricted backstage areas, the 2.5-mile oval*, and all major IMS landmarks. This 90-minute driving tour is a uniquely personalized experience, featuring one-on-one conversation with only our most knowledgeable tour guides. Tours depart at 9:30 a.m., 12 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. Our Golf Cart Tour will take you behind the scenes to the Pagoda, Gasoline Alley, Victory Podium, the Snake Pit, and more. On days that the track is not in use, the tour also includes a lap around the legendary IMS oval with a stop at the start/finish line to kiss the bricks. Please note that the Speedway is an active racetrack and availability of the oval and “Yard of Bricks” is not guaranteed on the tour. Golf Cart Tours are available on select dates from April through October. *Note: If a Golf Cart tour is being offered the same day as the Victory Podium tours, that means a lap of the oval is NOT included due to track use. Museum admission is required to take a track tour. When clicking the “Buy Tickets” button, you must reserve your Museum time before the tour tickets will appear.

The Cheyne Gang - Room 4

Wee Duncan Room Whether you're already an avid builder, never picked up a LEGO brick before, or it's just been a while, join us and connect with others in a relaxed and friendly social setting. Our group is growing. We welcome new members each time. In addition to the creative benefits, building with LEGO can be therapeutic and a great tool to reduce stress and anxiety. Cost Although registration on Eventbrite does not require an online payment, there's a small cost of £1 per person to be paid at each session by cash or card. If paying by cash, it would be great if you could bring exactly £1 to save having to make lots of change. We also have a card machine available for card payments. This group is strictly for adults aged 16 and over. Recent LEGO article about the benefits of LEGO building for adults: Over the past few years, more and more people have been using LEGO® building to help them practice mindfulness. In 2019, we even teamed up with DK Publishing and the author Abbie Hendon to publish a self-help book entitled ‘Build Yourself Happy’, which contains more than 50 mindful LEGO building activities and tips. (We’ve featured some of our favorites below!) Yet despite the growing popularity of mindfulness, there remains some confusion surrounding it.
