IMS Museum racing toward April 2 grand reopening

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Drivers, start your engines – and get ready to experience the newly renovated Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum!

After 16 long months of renovations that totaled $89 million, the IMS Museum will finally reopen on April 2, museum leaders announced Wednesday.

Museum and speedway leaders announced the project in July 2023 and promising fans that the building would reopen in time for the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2025.

Work began in October 2023 with the closing of the basement exhibit area and the museum closed to the public that November.

With just 53 days between the museum’s grand reopening and the Indy 500, race fans can consider it a promise kept.

“It’s just a very reimagined and creative use of existing space,” IMS President Joe Hale told News 8 in July 2023. “Everything on the inside is gonna be new, and it’s gonna tell the story of the ‘500.’ We talk about the epic drama of the Indy 500 — it’s really gonna tell that story in a much more entertaining and engaging way.”

The renovated IMS Museum will give race fans an additional 40,000 square feet of interactive exhibits, classic cars, and much, much more.

Ticket prices have also been adjusted to expand memberships and be more family-friendly.

The new pricing roster is listed below:

Adults: $25
Seniors (55+): $23
Veterans: $18, a new ticket offering
Youth (ages 5-16): $18
Children five years and under continue to be free of charge

Membership prices have also been adjusted.

Individual Plus membership: $125 (One individual + one guest)
Family/Grandparent membership: $175 (Two adults and all children living in the home/all
grandchildren)
Family/Grandparent Plus membership: $215 (Two adults and all children living in the home/all
grandchildren + two guests)

Current members will be renewed at their previous rate for this first year.

In keeping with its commitment to being an educational destination, students and teachers can purchase an annual membership at the discounted rate of $25 with a valid student or teacher ID.

Tickets go on sale March 4.

Brief anti-ICE protest pops up on East 86th Street in north Indianapolis

Brief anti-ICE protest pops up on East 86th Street in north Indianapolis

Anti-ICE protesters lined up on both sides of East 86th Street, near the Monon Trail crossing, in Indianapolis on the afternoon of Jan. 10, 2026.

The group of roughly 200 people chanted, “this is what democracy looks like” and held up signs as vehicles drove by, with some drivers beeping in support.

“Since President Trump took office for his second term, it’s not normal and we can’t be conditioned anymore,” Peter Moore, a 48-year-old resident of Carmel, told IndyStar when asked why he was attending the protest. “The more we protest, the more of an effect we’re going to gradually have. I’m very encouraged by the response out here.”

More than 1,000 anti-ICE protests are scheduled nationwide for Jan. 10, and Jan. 11, following the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. Good, 37, was shot and killed on Jan. 7 by Jonathan Ross, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement removal officer based in Minnesota.

“We’re seeing U.S. citizens at risk, we’re seeing people’s safety at risk,” said Brittany Miller, 27-year-old Indianapolis resident, when asked why she was attending the protest. “Silence is compliance. If we don’t do something, if we don’t say something , I think we’re headed in a really scary way. If we keep showing up and keep pushing back, there’s power in the people.”
