Welcome to Indiana

Indiana is a Midwestern state with a short stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline and the east Chicago suburbs in its northwestern corner. It became the 19th U.S. state in 1816, with many German and other European immigrants arriving to settle in the early 19th century. Indianapolis, the state capital and largest city, is home to historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, site of the annual Indianapolis 500 auto race since 1911. The city is known for excellent museums, its art scene, and wonderful food, but the state also has many classic American small towns and one of the country’s largest Amish communities. The Indiana outdoors features parks, canyons, caves, waterfalls, and more than 20 pristine lakes.

Worth the Stop even if do not have an RV

The museum lived up to our expectations. It was so enjoyable to see the evolution of RV's and let's better appreciate what we have today. Definitely worth a stop EVEN IF you do NOT own an RV. Worth the admission fee. It was not crowded.

samanthawN5062SD, Aug 2026

Very interesting history/spooky tour of Indy!

My guide Nicolette was very knowledgeable and friendly. I learned so much about Indianapolis and especially loved the historical/cultural connections. Extended tour with three additional stops was definitely worth it with some crazy stories! Do be prepared to walk quite a ways back to the beginning if you do the extended tour (Nicolette walked most of the way back with me and gave helpful directions) and get there with plenty of time to find parking as the street spots fill up fast and the parking garages are a few blocks away. Great ghost tour and definitely recommend!

Tour was a fun

The Smartphone Guided Indianapolis Downtown Sites Audio Walking Tour was a fun and convenient way to explore the city. The audio narration was clear, informative, and easy to follow, allowing me to discover the history behind Indianapolis' most iconic landmarks at my own pace. I appreciated the flexibility to stop, take photos, and continue whenever I wanted. The route covered many interesting sites, and the location-aware audio made the experience smooth and engaging. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking for an affordable and self-guided way to experience downtown Indianapolis.

Walking downtown tour

So this was amazing and I did it with my 19year old nephew who loves history. We did the entire tour and then went back to the museum to take a long time to look around. It was to use and the GPS kept us on the correct path. I will try this in any other city it is offered ! Thanks

Outdoor Escape Room in Indianapolis – Mile Square in Downtown

Beth S, May 2026

Ghost hunting in Indy

This was such a fun experience! One of my best friends and I try and plan to do something unique for our each other on our birthdays. I was struggling to find something that we hadn't done before when I came across the outdoor escape room for downtown indy. Oh my goodness was it so much fun! We got to explore downtown Indy while working together to help call for the Empresses! It was like our very own ghost hunting adventure. Each clue was unique and helped us to our next destination. There was also plenty of hints available, if we were struggling to figure out what the clues meant. What I loved about the hints was that they didnt just give us the answer right away but clues to help us get there on our own. The other thing I liked was that we were able to do this on our own time. We figured out a time that was best and stepped out into our adventure. We also were able to take a lunch break in between! 10 out of 10 would recommend this experience!
