Indianapolis, IN: Why Go
Hold on tight and enjoy the view because you don't want to miss Circle City's high-speed, heart-pumping attractions like the Motor Speedway and SportsZone.
Good to know: More interstate highways bisect Indianapolis than any other city in the U.S., making it the "Crossroads of America."
Local secret: Nobody can resist the amazing butterscotch praline pie--just one of many decadent desserts!--at Shapiro's Delicatessen. More like a bakery-and-cafeteria-in-one, this deli has been a landmark here since 1905.
Chill-out spot: For a bit of history and some fresh air, check out Fort Harrison State Park. In its 1,700 acres, you'll find a former WWII POW camp and a Civilian Conservation Corps camp, along with fishing spots, biking and hiking trails, and more nature-loving activities than you could shake a stick at.
Start your engines: If you reserve tickets ahead of time, you can tour the famous track at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway; otherwise, you can visit the Hall of Fame Museum, which traces racecar history since the inaugural Indianapolis 500 in 1911.
Let the games begin: SportZone is a state-of-the-art facility covering six acres of baseball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and more.
History lesson: Famed poet James Whitcomb Riley lived in Lockerbie Square, lined with Midwestern landmarks and 19th-century buildings. Visit the museum dedicated to him as you step back in time along these cobblestone streets.
The real deal: The largest children's museum in the world is the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, where you can see the bones of a giant mastodon (discovered in a backyard in Indiana), tell time by a water clock, and stand next to a nine-foot-tall polar bear.
Where the locals go: Bazbeaux Pizza was the first gourmet pizza joint to hit Circle City, and locals keep returning to make their perfect pie. Choose from more than 50 toppings if you dare; or simply stick to good ol' sausage and pepperoni.

The pressed-tin ceiling in the front barroom and "tiger oak" bar and back bar are well over a 100 years old and believed to be original.
