About The Childrens Museum of Indianapolis
We LOVE a good children's museum - but it's even better when it's the largest in the WORLD! And lucky if you're thinking about heading to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis then you're in the right place!
With more than 400,000 sq feet of children's fun, with 11 major galleries where they can explore the physical and natural sciences, world cultures, arts, and history. It's a place where they can learn and develop whilst having an amazing time!
Can you hear thundering footsteps, or see unusual plants? You might be in Dinosphere - an exhibit that transports you back 65 million years! You're in their world now! Kids can come face to face with full sized dinosaur skeletons, and even dig for dino bones! There is even an authentic T-Rex bone that they can touch, and see one of the largest displays in the world of juvenile dinosaur fossils. Pretty incredible!
Kids can take science to a whole new level at ScienceWorks, where they can explore the inner workings of nature, as well as the forces that bind life together, and even the structure of human creations. It's a dynamic experience where kids can learn how plants help the planets, look for frogs, grab a hula hoop or climb a 20 foot rock wall! In a museum? Only at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis!
Other exhibits take them through treasures of the Earth, through Egyptian burial cites, or Chinese traditions. They take them through glass blowing features, carousels, and for those little ones - Playscape. Perfect for pre-schoolers, they can watch their curiosity blossom.
Situated on 19 acres of land, you might have to make your family day out a few days more!
