5 days in Indianapolis Itinerary

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.

Change things up with a short trip to Hopwood Cellars Winery in Zionsville (about 30 minutes away). And it doesn't end there: test your team's savvy at The Escape Room Fishers, whizz through the canopy at Go Ape Zipline & Adventure Park, look for gifts at Rocket Fizz, and explore the engaging exhibits at Children's Museum of Indianapolis.
