    Growing up in Indy, you know the fun and chaos of the Indianapolis Speedway. I never would have imagined how cool their light setup would be. I highly recommend all families loading up the car and experiencing the Lights at the Brickyard. We visited the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it wasn't busy at all. Now as it gets closer to Christmas this might not be the case. If you can, try to go on a weekday as you will save yourself a few dollars. We visited with a 2 yr old, an 11 and a 12 yr old along with 4 adults. Everyone enjoyed the experience. It was a little hard for the kids to 100% recognize the light displays but it was a fun guessing game we played. I like that it wasn't all about Christmas too. There were displays about books, movies, a Yeti, space and of course racing themed items. One of the best parts, driving on the Indianapolis 500 track. Super cool. The whole experience lasts about 20 mins. We drove pretty slow to capture everything for the kids.

    I suggest going during the weekday when you can save a few bucks and avoid the crowd. On a Monday evening we drove right in with no wait. It was cool to see the different fixtures, but some people in my car had a harder time making out the figures. I could make out the majority, but a few left me baffled. Some were set up in segments like Cowboy Christmas and Fairytales, making it easier to identify the coordinating displays. I only recall one display being blacked out in the middle due to an obvious bulb burnout. Our line moved, but there were times when we had to brake due to a back up. It's convenient to be able to ride through the exhibits in the car to due cold weather and for those with mobility issues. All in all, it wasn't bad, but there's no need to visit again for a few years. Hopefully, more displays will be added, and they'll be bigger and better.

    We drove thru on a Wednesday so it was not very busy. The standard lane was $25 for the car load. And goes up on the weekends to $30. In my opinion it was to expensive. Yes it was neat and it cool to drive down the front stretch and over the yard of bricks. But it is not some thing we will do again. I would rather drive up to Reynolds farm equipment and see the same thing but smaller for free. It took us about 30 minutes to drive the 2.5 miles. The speed limit is 5 mph and they say do not stop. Well the car 2 in front of us kept stopping so we saw brake light most of the time.

    Overall, even for a group of just 2 adults, the brickyard lights make for a nice time seeing some fun displays, and driving our own car on + across the historic track & finish line. A little pricey for the light displays some of which are older, but still a good time. If you're looking to visit the track we also suggest the museum tour with trolly stop to kiss the bricks in the daytime for an intimate experience and value.

    I feel like writing a list is going to be the best way to do this, so just roll with me here. 1) This is fun to do once, but that's about it. 2) I feel like this is perfect for families with kiddos that require carrying/strollers. Do this, stay in the car, and enjoy the slow drive. 3) It is ridiculously over-priced for what you get. 4) Go on a weeknight at about 7-7:15 and there's no wait. 5) Once you're in line, that's it. I don't even think there are restrooms if you have to get out of the car. 6) Lots of wasted space where there could be a lot more lights. 7) Some of the overhead lights that you have to drive over have much improved over the last couple of years. 8) It would be more fun if the lights actually synced to music, but they just push you to listen to 105.7. 9) There's apparently a gift shop this year! 10) You get to drive over the "real bricks." That's pretty cool. Go, or don't. You might like it! A clever way to use the track over the holiday.

    I've found a new holiday tradition! I read a lot of complaints before coming -- too long of lines and too expensive for what it is -- but my group loved it. I'm not sure if we just lucked out but we had no line to get in on a Friday night in early December. We also thought the price was reasonable, especially compared to some other displays that charge by person. $30 on a weekend isn't bad because it's by the car. Take some other people and split it with them. The lights were awesome! It was so fun and cozy to enjoy the hot chocolate we brought and drive around the track. That's another thing I loved about this -- no need to face the cold weather or spend money on extra stuff because you can bring everything you'd like in your car. However, they do have a concessions before going in. My group was happy to get into the Christmas spirit and definitely recommends this!

    The kids enjoyed it, I do think $30 is a little pricey, could see a lot of families who maybe couldn't afford to do this. But like I said the kids enjoyed themselves.

    The atmosphere and tasteful selections were exactly what I was looking for! But most important, was…read morethe helpful hints and attentiveness. We don't find that as much as we should in today's world. It will be my new "go to"!

    Oh my word!! What a beautiful transition from the old shop behind Charlie Brown's. Brook moved into…read morethe new 1300 building along Main Street in downtown Speedway. The shop sits next door to LePeep, so after LePeeps, take a second to pop in. I am so excited for Brooke who continues to make her dreams come true. She started painting furniture in her home, and now her business has grown into this beautiful shop. Brooke still paints furniture if you are considering updating an item. She painted a small cupboard for me and did a nice job. The shop is filled with gift items, home decor from furniture to soy candles, vases, greenery, pottery, mirrors, table lamps to floor lamps, Artisan tea towels, wooden lazy susan, artisan dessert plates to framed watercolors to name a just a few items. They even carry a few gifts for a new baby. You can purchase an adorable, sweet swaddling blanket and a precious "My First Snuggled Bunny." To cute!! I was surprised to find the ever popular Taylor Swift designs with tee shirts, stickers for a phone, cooler, notebook, or laptop. As you can imagine, they sell out fast. If you are interested in Indy 500 decor, then you most likely have seen Justin Patten's artwork. His cavased printed artwork comes ready to frame. I received one as a gift from folks staying at my home, and we love it.
