Indy Fuel Hockey Offers Action-Packed Experiences for Families

Looking for an exciting, family-friendly night out? The Indianapolis Fuel is Indy’s own hockey team and home games are a blast for the whole family. Your kids will love heading to Indiana Farmers Coliseum for an action-packed evening of fun. Keep reading to learn how the Indy Fuel creates amazing and memorable hockey experiences for families.

Action-Packed Games with the Fuel

Hockey is a great sport to watch live, as it’s full of constant action and excitement. Even my 4-year-old will sit through all three periods of a hockey game and stay engaged. The Indy Fuel offers so many fun things for kids to do before, during, and after the game. Every game features kid-favorite foods at the concession stands. Nitro the Dragon is hilarious and interacts with the kids during the game. You will even find him climbing the stairs throughout the stadium to visit and say hello to the littlest Fuel fans.

Nitro’s Kids Club is a Great Deal

One of the best things about the Indy Fuel games is their affordability. They offer a variety of specials and promotions on concessions throughout the season, as well as affordable tickets. Nitro’s Kids Club is the best way for children ages 12 and under to enjoy the season and the additional fun that is available. Membership is only $25, and it includes one ticket to every Sunday home game, a birthday card signed by Nitro, 10% off merchandise at The Garage, and a photo on the ice after the last Sunday home game. Your child will also have opportunities for special game day experiences and invitations to exclusive events with the coaches and players. Did I mention you get all of this for only $25? What an amazing deal!

Kids Eat Free on Family Fun Days

Each Sunday home game is Family Fun Day. This includes a different kid-friendly theme, plus kids eat free! Pirates and Princesses, Pajama Party, and Tooth Fairy Appreciation Night are just a few examples of what you can expect when you take your kids to cheer on the Fuel. Don’t forget, with a Nitro Kids Club membership, you will get free admission and free food for each of your kiddos at these Sunday games! The Indy Fuel loves families, and they show that through many opportunities for family fun each season.

Parking is conveniently located around the Coliseum at the fairgrounds. The cost is $10 per vehicle. You’ll find that despite the crowds, exiting the game is always quick and convenient. Traffic flows well, and thankfully, I have never been stuck in a big mess trying to get home.
