Guided Voyager updates destination guidance regularly, but hours, weather, access, and reservations should be checked close to departure.

Before you go

Do not put Speedway, Newfields, the Children's Museum, and Fountain Square on one casual itinerary. Indianapolis is manageable in zones, not in a grand loop.
Keep the Cultural Trail, canal, and Newfields for clear weather. The State Museum, Eiteljorg, Children's Museum, and Vonnegut Museum make real rain and winter alternatives.
