Pinewood Derby®

On your mark, get set, roll — it’s the second–greatest spectacle in racing! The Indiana State Museum invites you to race your Pinewood Derby cars and watch as they zip down the two-story, 125-foot track and across the finish line. Alumni derby racers can brush the dust off their own Pinewood Derby 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 is included in museum admission. On Race Day (April 5), the track is open only to registered racers and closed to the public.

Pinewood Derby runs March 26-April 6.

Race Day & Best in Show is April 5.
