I don’t think I’d be the best person to answer that question, as I don’t have kids yet. However, putting myself in the mindset of a 7 year old, I know it would be a long time to sit in one spot. Thinking as a future parent, if they get antsy mid race you could always take a break from the action and go walk around to various food and souvenir vendors and come back to your seats to catch the ending.

If there are any parents out there that can shed some real-life experience with taking kids to the race, please let Brad know.

My wife won free tickets to the race. The seats are in the paddock near the start/finish line. We have twin 7 year old girls. Were wondering if our girls would be able to enjoy the race. We’ve never been to the race, but have been to pole day and qualifications each year with the girls, but we think that’s a much different environment as we can walk around to different areas of the track and infield without staying in in seats for an extended amount of time. We’d appreciate any comments.

It is the 100th anniversary of the first running of the Indy 500.
