Indianapolis Auto Show

Our family ventured to the Indy Auto Show for some New Year's Eve family fun. My husband is very into cars so I was hoping that he would have a great time. We all really enjoyed looking at the cars!We enjoyed that we could go at our own pace and never felt rushed or crowded. This is a big and appreciated bonus if anyone in your party has a disability. All of the staff were very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions. I was pleasantly surprised that there were many things to entertain my son. He really enjoyed the car simulator and the go kart simulator. He was excited that he won a prize from the Toyota staff. I was also thankful that he didn't come home with a bunch of clutter that most conventions pass out. He also genuinely enjoyed checking out the features on the cars. The price of admission was very reasonable at $7 for adults and kids 12 and under free.

I love cars. We went as a family over the Christmas holiday. It's basically a big auto maker showcase. No classic cars or anything. I think it's a great fun way to see the new models and get an up close look at a bunch without going to a dealer. There are representatives there, and they say hi, but they aren't pushy so it's not like being at a regular car dealer. My family and I had a great time getting to see and feel cars that we may buy down the road and cars we can't even afford! I wish these travel vans had been around when I was a kid. Those are fantastic! We bought tickets at the door. It's in the convention center as of this posting so it's really easy to access downtown. I attached pics of my (hopefully) future car. ;) Go find your favorite!

The Indianapolis Auto Show is worth the price of admission ($6 advance, $7 at door). Attended auto shows at other cities that easily cost $15+. I was initially apprehensive about the selection of vehicles that one can see, but all the major manufacturers were present. There were also vehicles from luxury brands (BMW, Porsche, Range Rover, etc.), and to my surprise you can even seat in them. At other shows, the fancier vehicles are locked and you can only look at them from the outside. The show also showcases 2014 cars from several brands that are not yet for sale. The only thing the show lacks is concept vehicles. You will only see the cars of the future at auto shows at bigger cities (Detroit, LA, New York).On a Friday night, the crowd was surprising light. You can easily spend a couple of hours trying out cars and picturing yourself in the driver's seat.

Went here a few days after Christmas and had a bunch of fun. For those who haven't been, you're able to get in and out of (just about) any vehicle and test the seats, press all the buttons inside, take pictures etc.The brands change each year but a good majority of the market is represented. This year we noticed Kia, Cadillac, Mercedes, Mazda, Jaguar, and Tesla were among some of those not at the auto show. Each auto maker brand that was present had its own lineup along with some interactive technology (Ford had a full motion robot and Chevrolet had a virtual reality ride). But what I really liked was that there weren't any salesmen bothering or annoying us at each section. Some would just say "if you have any questions let me know", others wouldn't approach anyone unless they were approached. It made the whole experience more relaxing as I wasn't looking to purchase a car in the first place.The auto show is a great family activity especially after the holidays. $7 a person, kids 12 and under free. Parking ended up being $6 for 3 hours and we walked through the convention center so we didn't go outside.

I used to live in Michigan and went to the North American International Auto Show almost every year. It's huge and has almost every vehicle known (and yet unknown) to man. But it's incredibly crowded.This show is much smaller, of course. Some brands were not even there - Mercedes, Volvo, etc. But there's a solid showing of vehicles. There are relatively few attendees compared to NAIAS so there's almost never a wait to see and sit in the vehicles on display. Tickets are $7 instead of $13. Parking is $2 for up to 3 hours. You get the idea.It's worth a couple of hours of browsing.

Pretty good last year, this year.........NO. No Jags, No BMW, No Raptors, nothing. plain Jane show with little or NO people to ask questions. $15 bucks to park, $7 bucks to get in. SAVE your money go see a movie and get popcorn if necessary stop a a dealer and look around on way home. .

I go every year. This time we went to check out potential 2016 purchases. They do such a great job presenting a majority of the makes. There are awesome games to play and contests. We parked in the mall and walked over to the convention center. This way we only paid $2 for 3hrs of parking.

I would give this zero stars if I could. The Indy Auto Show gets worse every year and 2019 is the smallest I've seen. Missing many manufactures and just a complete waste of money and time.

We have attended the Indianapolis Auto Show for many years. In recent years, however, each show gets worse....smaller and fewer models. For the 2017 show, here's a list of what was NOT THERE....Volvo, Porche, Mercedes, Jaguar, Land Rover, Audi, Infiniti, Maserati, Bentley and not even a Cadillac!! This was the last year for us attending. What's the point of going if you can't see anything other than a Chevy, Buick or Ford. In the future we will go to Chicago or Detroit.

What a joke. $7 to get in $27 to park I would have been better off going to the dealer lots at least I could test drive the same cars that were there. A wast of money and time.
