We’re celebrating The Hoosier State with five reasons you need to put Indiana on your travel radar.
The Indy 500. Whether you’re a race fan or not, you’ve heard of the racing world’s biggest annual event. Even if you can’t make it to Indianapolis over Memorial Day Weekend for the big race, you can still experience the Indy 500 world at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum, which displays more than 75 cars and other memorabilia, and the Dallara IndyCar Factory, where you can see how the cars are built before taking a ride.
Foodie favorites. Indiana may not be the first state that springs to mind when it comes to culinary creativity, but if you don’t sink your teeth into the Hoosier State, your taste buds are missing out. Innovative food trucks, international inspiration and local flavors have created a dining scene that’s not to be missed.
Gorgeous landscapes. Outside the capital of Indianapolis, there are plenty of wild open spaces begging to be explored. Tranquil lakes, wooded state parks, sprawling gardens and nature trails are just a few of the outdoor wonders you’ll find in Indiana.
Cool museums. A larger than life dinosaur peaks through the exterior of the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. Characters dressed to the nines in period costumes guide visitors as they step back into the 1800s at Conner Prairie Interactive History Park. More than 100 classic cars draw “oohs” and “ahhs” at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum. You aren’t going to want to miss the museums waiting for you in Indiana.
Hoosier hospitality. One of the first things you’ll notice when arriving in Indiana is the genuine kindness Hoosiers extend to locals and visitors alike. Beyond the appealing attractions, green spaces and Indianapolis’ buzz, it’s easy to fall in love with Indiana just for the people.
