Circle City Tours

Circle City Tours offers families a fun and informative way to explore downtown Indianapolis through guided city tours that bring Indy's history, architecture, and culture to life. Whether by walking tour or vehicle, these guided experiences give families a curated introduction to the city's most iconic landmarks and lesser-known stories that you simply wouldn't encounter on a self-guided stroll. Kids who might otherwise find history dull are often surprised by how engaging a well-told city tour can be — especially when guides share colorful anecdotes, local legends, and fascinating facts tailored to keep younger audiences interested.

The tours cover downtown landmarks including Monument Circle, the Indiana State Capitol, and various historic neighborhoods, providing a comprehensive overview of what makes Indianapolis special. For families visiting from out of town, a Circle City Tour is an excellent orientation to the city that helps everyone get their bearings while learning something new. For local families, it's a chance to rediscover familiar streets through fresh eyes.

Tours operate seasonally and are best suited for children who can walk comfortably for an extended period, making them a great fit for school-age kids and older.
