Indianapolis, Indy 500, May 2025
Attending the 2025 Indy 500 was absolutely wonderful. We didn't have to worry about logistics and received excellent Turn One seats that had views which were like nothing I've experienced in the past at Indy. It was the first time for my son and his wife and I'm so fortunate to have had There And Back Again arranging it all. Thanks to everyone at TABA who really made our experience amazing.

Their 2nd Trip with TABA -
Indianapolis, Indy 500, May 2025
This was our first time visit to the Indy 500 so we weren't sure all the logistics of getting to the race and preparation. TABA helped us with all the many questions we had before signing up.The package that we signed up fore was excellent and everything we expected. The TABA reps, Evan and Devan (TABA Tour Representatives) were awesome. The seats we bought were some of the best at the speedway (that was recommended by TABA)..Getting in and out of the race track each visit, especially Sunday morning was very efficient.

My sons and I had a fantastic time! We liked the way we were able to do what we wanted to do, not having to be part of a group the entire time. We appreciated that all the transportation was handled and we only needed to make sure we were on the bus as instructed when attending events.
