Global Entry costs $120 for five years — and it includes TSA PreCheck. IND has no standalone enrollment center, but you can finish your interview on Enrollment on Arrival when you land at IND from an international trip. So at Indianapolis (IND) it covers faster U.S. security on the way out and faster customs when you fly home, for not much more than PreCheck on its own.
IND does not have a walk-in enrollment center. The easy route here is Enrollment on Arrival: after CBP conditionally approves you, you finish the interview at the inspection point when you land at IND from an international trip — no separate trip needed. Otherwise the nearest centers are at Dayton (DAY), South Bend (SBN), and Lexington (LEX). Start your application and book at the Trusted Traveler scheduler.

Landing at IND from abroad, Global Entry lets you skip the passport line at the kiosk or app. For the departure wait that sets when to leave home, watch the live IND TSA wait times.
Because Global Entry includes PreCheck, it shrinks the security buffer in your plan — but only when the lane is actually short. Instead of guessing, set your Leave-By Time: it folds the live IND PreCheck wait, your drive with traffic, and the walk to your gate into one exact time to leave home today.

Not at a walk-in center — IND has none. But you can complete the interview on Enrollment on Arrival when you land at IND from an international trip, so a separate appointment is not always needed.
Yes. Unlike PreCheck, where children 12 and under use the lane free with an enrolled parent, every traveler needs their own Global Entry membership and interview — there is no family rate.
