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

This past Saturday, my wife and I took our 2 yr 11month old newphew to the museum. None of us had been there before. We had a great time! Not only was it a Saturday, it was the busiest day of the year - Spring Break Saturday. Although the ticket line was long, we had no problem with any other... more

We recently visited the museum with our 4 year old. We happened to go on the opening day of the new Curious George exhibit so they had Curious George themed activities and give aways all day. A nice bonus. The musuem had 5 floors of exhibits and activities for kids of all ages and adults alike. There were tons of... more

There is no question that this is hands-down the best children's museum in the world. Wonderful selection of exhibits that are extremely interactive. Children have so much fun that they likely will not realize how much they have learned until they get home and discuss the museum's exhibits. Strongly recommend getting a museum membership. If you go two days and... more

I love the Indianapolis Children's Museum! I visit the museum at least 2 times a year, either with friends or my Kindergarten class. Your kids will never get bored there, and I must admit, even for an adult it's pretty fun! Theres a fairly cheap carosel ride on the third or fourth level, and they always have fun traveling exhibits.... more

I cannot stress enough that if you have your family within day trip distance of Indianapolis, the Children's Museum is a must see! Even if you are not, it is worth the trip. We were able to get a special rate from a local hotel, and for $149 we got a night at the hotel, and 4 tickets to both... more

My daughter travels with me when I have conferences so she has seen Disney, Sea World, etc. This was way better than any of those in her opinion and mine. For 19 dollars (one adult, one child), we spent from 11 am-8 pm (we lucked out and showed up on the one day a month when they are open until... more
