Indiana’s second greatest spectacle in racing is the Pinewood Derby, and the track will be rigged and ready for action as cars zip down 125 feet toward the finish line. Alumni derby racers can brush the dust off their own pinewood cars, and new racers can fine-tune their car creations or borrow one from the museum’s line-up.

Price: Included with museum admission; $7 per person for scouts and their families
