What you'll see and do
Indiana State Capitol
Begin at one of downtown Indianapolis’ most important landmarks, where more than a century of government history is paired with some surprisingly persistent ghost stories. After hours, employees have reported unexplained footsteps, doors moving on their own, a woman in nineteenth-century clothing, and even the sound of a phantom mail cart rolling through empty corridors.

Indiana Repertory Theatre
Opened in 1927 as the grand Indiana Theatre, this historic performance space has collected nearly a century of stories both onstage and off. Reported paranormal activity includes unexplained footsteps in the mezzanine, mysterious figures near the stage and wings, and apparitions spotted in the balcony long after the surrounding seats have emptied.
15 minutes here
Indianapolis Union Railroad Station
Once one of the city’s busiest transportation hubs, Indianapolis Union Station welcomed generations of travelers, soldiers, families, and newcomers beneath its soaring arches. Today, visitors and employees have reported unexplained footsteps, distant voices, rolling sounds, and other strange noises that seem to echo the station’s long railroad past.
15 minutes here
Slippery Noodle Inn
Dating to 1850, the Slippery Noodle is one of the oldest continuously operating establishments in Indianapolis, with a colorful past tied to saloons, Prohibition, gangsters, and former rooms upstairs. Its long history has also produced numerous paranormal reports, including apparitions, mysterious footsteps, moving doors, unexplained voices, and the unsettling feeling of being watched after closing.

Why this scores 42
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Ghosts of Indianapolis Tour Family Friendly Haunted History: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Indianapolis.
How much does The Ghosts of Indianapolis Tour Family Friendly Haunted History cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Indianapolis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Ghosts of Indianapolis Tour Family Friendly Haunted History take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Indianapolis is not rushed.
Is The Ghosts of Indianapolis Tour Family Friendly Haunted History worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Indianapolis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Ghosts of Indianapolis Tour Family Friendly Haunted History?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Ghosts of Indianapolis Tour Family Friendly Haunted History suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Ghosts of Indianapolis Tour Family Friendly Haunted History?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Indianapolis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Indianapolis and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Ghosts of Indianapolis Tour Family Friendly Haunted History start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Indianapolis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Indianapolis?
+
Indianapolis, IN packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Indianapolis by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Indianapolis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Indianapolis Mobile Pub Tour and Experience, Indy Walking Tours, Wicked Wraiths of White River: Indianapolis Ghost Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Indianapolis?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Indianapolis, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Indianapolis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
