Indiana's capital and most populous city, Indianapolis is best known for its racecar events and impressive museums, and as the hometown of Kurt Vonnegut.

Get out of town with these interesting Indianapolis side-trips: Covington (Roebling Murals on the Floodwalls of Covington, KY & George Rogers Clark Park), Louisville (Sons of the American Revolution Genealogical Research Library, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, &more) and Hopwood Cellars Winery (in Zionsville). There's still lots to do: explore the engaging exhibits at Children's Museum of Indianapolis, examine the collection at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, get to know the resident critters at Indianapolis Zoo, and get your game on at Bad Axe Throwing.
