BRING YOUR CLASSROOM TO THE INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY MUSEUM

  • TEACH YOUR STUDENTS ABOUT RACING HISTORY

    At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, your students can learn from the experts! We welcome visits from schools interested in teaching their students about the history of motorsports, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the Indianapolis 500. Education is an essential part of our mission, and we strive to share the stories behind the Speedway and the incredible lessons learned both on and off the track. 

    During school visits, your class is free to explore the Museum independently, or you can request a guided tour with one of our expert hosts. Students can also sign up for a tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where they can take a lap around the oval and even kiss the bricks. So, get ready for an unforgettable field trip to the Racing Capital of the World! 

    Teachers and educators are welcome to contact tours@brickyard.com or call 317-492-6747 for help scheduling a visit.
