About
Visit Indy is the official tourism organization for Indianapolis, and its visitor center serves as the perfect first stop for families arriving in the city. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a local looking to rediscover what Indianapolis has to offer, the Visit Indy team provides expert, up-to-date recommendations on family activities, events, restaurant deals, and attractions that fit your family's interests and budget. The visitor center features interactive displays, printed guides, and helpful staff who can answer questions and customize suggestions based on the ages of your children and how long you plan to stay.
For out-of-town families, stopping at Visit Indy before diving into your itinerary can save significant time and money — staff are often aware of limited-time deals, free community events, and lesser-known attractions that don't show up easily in a Google search. The center is centrally located in downtown Indianapolis, making it a convenient and logical starting point for a city exploration day. Best of all, the visitor center itself is entirely free to visit, and the information you gather can help you make the most of every dollar and every hour of your Indianapolis family trip.
