Overview – Kids and adults can explore hands-on exhibits designed to educate. There's a lot to see-it's one of the largest children's museums in the world--so plan to spend an entire day at this kids' wonderland. There are five floors and ten galleries to explore in addition to the outdoor garden gallery. – – The Experience – Build your own drum, explore the interactive "Wall of Junk," dig through the dirt worm-style. Kids can dig up dinosaur bones, scale rock walls and see a mummy's tomb (with a real mummy inside). They can also explore the solar system in the…

AWESOME!!!
by shikira12
We had a girl's weekend in Indianapolis. We took the 5 & 9 yr old. It was great and even us adults had a good time. The group interactions were great. The haunted house was worth the $6.50. The only con would be at the haunted house. There was a recorded voice for the scary haunted house. It said "flight 666 is now boarding", I thought that was crossing the line. But besides, it was great
- Pros: Very fun, friendly and enticing.
- Cons: None!

Best in the country!
by jenijk
I am a 24 year old woman who has been to many children's museum in her life (having been a child not that long ago). This is the best! My grandparents live in Indy and took us there every time we came to visit them since I was 3. In fact, my husband and I recently visited without children and still had a great time! They do an excellent job of remembering the past while embracing the future. Some exhibits have never changed, while the technology and science areas keep expanding and improving. I have a picture of myself in the Indy Race Car at every age! It just keeps getting better, I can't wait to take my own children someday!
- Pros: Fair pricing, food court inside, unique local exhibits
- Cons: area of town

Mixed Review

My son and I visited 2 weeks ago for his spring break. We found the museum overall to be great fun. However there were a few drawbacks. We had to park in a sketchy area and I think the security guard in a van was asleep. I was very uneasy about this, but made it to the musuem quickly and safely. Our favorite exhibits were Jane Goodall and the Japan gallery. We made it into dinosphere, it was fun for about five minutes then my son lost interest. Other than the parking and crowd it was a good experience.
- Pros: Clean, Educational, Carousel
- Cons: Parking/Parking Staff, High food prices, Crowded
