Indianapolis Motor Speedway Track Tours

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum runs track tours of the Speedway, home of the Indy 500, from the museum on West 16th Street. Every tour needs museum admission, so the day is the museum first and the track after.

Kiss the Bricks is a 30 minute narrated bus lap of the 2.5 mile oval with a stop at the start finish line and the Yard of Bricks. When the track is in use it is swapped for the Victory Podium tour through the garage area and Gasoline Alley to the top of the podium. The 90 minute Golf Cart Tour goes deeper, taking in the Pagoda, Gasoline Alley, Victory Podium and the Snake Pit.

It suits Indy 500 fans, families with kids, who ride free under 6 years of age on the short tours, and anyone who wants to stand on the bricks where the winners kiss them.

• Kiss the Bricks is a narrated bus tour that laps the 2.5 mile oval and stops at the start finish line and the Yard of Bricks. The narration is subtitled.
• At the Yard of Bricks you get to kiss the bricks yourself, the tradition race winners have kept since 1996.
• When the track is busy, the Victory Podium tour runs instead: the garage area, Gasoline Alley and the top of Victory Podium, without the oval lap.
• The Golf Cart Tour runs 90 minutes with the museum's tour guides, through the Pagoda, Gasoline Alley, Victory Podium, the Snake Pit and more, with the oval lap and the bricks added when the track is free. Expect some moderate walking.
• The museum suggests leaving at least an hour after your museum visit before your tour.
• Bringing friends or family? Kids 5 and under ride free on Kiss the Bricks and Victory Podium, strollers are allowed, and the official IMS shop is inside the museum entrance with no ticket needed.
• Best way to experience it: do the museum, then the Kiss the Bricks lap, and book the Golf Cart Tour if you are 12 or older and want the Pagoda and the Snake Pit.
