Watch thoroughbred horses race - or the Indiana Colts play.

Yes Indianapolis is the home of the famous Indy 500 but there is so much more to see before you reach the finish line near the Wyndham West Indianapolis Hotel. Sports fanatics will love a chance to cheer as the Indians, Pacers or Colts as they do battle. If you want to try something truly relaxing, stroll along the tranquil Indianapolis Canal Walk. Those who wish to see a lion on the hunt will not want to miss the Indianapolis Zoo with its natural one-of-a-kind habitats called biodomes. But if you prefer to do the hunting yourself, visit one of our great shopping malls. Seeing Indian art or attending a concert on The Lawn are two more great ways to spend your time. Remember, there's always something exciting going on at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino, where you can try your luck at black jack or with the ponies.
