Pinewood Derby®
March 29-April 8 (The Indiana State Museum is closed April 3, 4 & 9)
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. | Included with admission, $7/BSA and Girl Scouts and their families

Indiana’s second greatest spectacle in racing! The Pinewood Derby® track will be rigged and ready for action as cars zip down the 125 feet of track headed for the finish line. Launch your car from the second story start line and experience the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in the quest to find car perfection. 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. Racing is open to the public, and there’ll be a Best in Show competition on the last day with adult and youth divisions. (Visitors wishing to participate in the Best in Show contest must enter their cars for judging by 2 p.m. that day.) Cars will be on display and judging will take place between 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., with awards presented between 4:30 and 5 p.m.
