Golf Side Trips and Family Activities:

Indianapolis is known for many great golf courses and lots of museums, parks and family activities. A side golf trip is being planned, possibly to the famous "Brickyard Crossing Golf Course", located on the grounds of the famous Indianapolis 500 Motor Speedway. Several holes are actually inside the infield area of the track. Anticipated cost could be $90 for regular rate or just $55 for twilight rate after 4 pm EDT. Side trip date will likely be Thursday, June 25th. Other courses will be considered, depending on costs, availability and desire. 

Thanks to help from the Indianapolis NWS office, a special tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been organized for Wednesday afternoon, June 24th at 4:00 pm. Officials at the Speedway have generously agreed to lead our group on a special tour of the facilities, including areas not normally seen by the general public. We will need an exact count of who will be attending this tour. Please indicate during registration if you think you may go. You can always drop out, but we need to know maximum number expected.  

Family activities in and around Indianapolis include museums such as the Indianapolis Children's Museum, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, IMAX theatre, NCAA College Hall of Fame, Indianapolis Zoo, and many others. There is plenty of shopping, including the famous Circle Center Mall in downtown Indianapolis and lots of good restaurants! 

Please plan on bringing the family, playing some golf and having a good time!
