Childrens museum of Indy has so many great reviews I just had to check it out for myself. We are almost 3 hours away so we made a weekend of it. First it was very expensive. I can't remember how much exaclty but I think it was close to $60 for my family of 5 to visit. The boys' favorite... more

I took our 10 year old child to the museum to visit the Star Wars Clone Wars exhibit and had a good day. There was quite a bit of construction going on and several exhibits were closed. Some attractions were first class, like the dinosaur exhibit, others had us scratching our heads, like the children in history exhibit. I would... more

I took my two grandsons, ages 7 and 9. It was a school day (they had a holiday) and the museum was packed with school groups, so it was quite crowded. They had fun and enjoyed their day, but we couldn't help but compare it to the Museum of Nat'l History and the Science Museum in London which are amazing.... more

A great place to take the kids. They always have fun and interactive things to do there and is usually never the same on your next visit. There is a slide you can slide down that is fun for the kids and a water clock that is pretty interesting for the adults. Also...If you're visiting during Halloween stop into the... more

The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is a godsend for anyone in the Indianapolis area. We have been members for several years now and every time we go -- which is often -- is like a new experience. The place is huge, there are endless things to do, and as many interesting things for parents as for kids. It's a full... more

Our visit to the Museum was actually in April 2008, so I daresay I'm a bit late in making my review, but I assure you - my opinions are the same! We took our 2 year old to Indy expressly to visit the Children's Museum, as they were having an exhibit featuring Curious George (a favorite in our house). I... more

This museum has something for every age and it is really difficult to explore every detail in one day. Also, one can experience a wide range of emotions from being amazed to laughing to even being saddened (e.g. the Anne Frank exhibit). Also, the staff is welcoming and ready to help. more

This museum is truly special. There is SO much to see and do, and exhibits are always changing. Exhibits are exciting, interactive, and (don't tell the kids) educational. My husband and I went (yes, 2 adults) on a random day off from work. We were there a couple hours and basically just walked through the museum. We didn't stop to... more

This museum is almost overwhelming it has much to do. It is four floors of fun for the whole family. The lower floors are for special exhibits and the upper floors were more for permanent exhibits and there are several play areas on the upper floors for younger kids. Playscape is an area for kids 5 and under and there... more

Our group included four adults and a six-year old girl . . . and the big people had as much fun as the kid! This "children's" museum appeals to all ages. Even though there were many people at the museum on the Saturday we visited, it's spread out enough on several levels that we didn't feel like it was too... more
