My grandson had so much fun at the children’s Museum and the staff was amazing! We spent the entire day there and probably could’ve spent another full day. There are many exhibits that I had to pull him away from just so we could see everything. so we have a grandparents pass and will definitely be spending a lot of time there with our grandson he really enjoyed it and I cannot compliment. The staff enough you guys are absolutely wonderful.

We had a blast last weekend coming here but were on a time crunch and only had an hour and a half to see what we could before they closed and we didn’t even get through half of it not even close. We also rushed through what we did see just to keep moving to other exhibits. Will be coming back soon for sure and making sure we have several hours of time!! Free garage parking with skywalk access to museum. And discounts for Indiana residents!

If you’re looking to reconnect with your inner child, this museum is the perfect place! I absolutely loved it and only wish I’d had more time to explore. Although it was a busy Saturday, we were still able to enjoy everything the museum had to offer without any issues. Since it was winter, the outdoor exhibits were closed, but I’m already looking forward to returning in the summer to experience those as well. Consider this your friendly reminder to treat yourself—or your kids—to a visit to this incredible museum.
Pro tip: Valet parking is available!

This is a favorite museum of mine. SO much to do! The variety and size of the exhibits is outstanding. Artifacts from so many different cultures and timeframes. Everything is laid out beautifully, it's very easy to get around. It's also very easy to get lost in each exhibit because they're so amazing!
Obviously, there's so much to keep children entertained and learning about the various different subjects and eras, but this museum is fantastic for any age to visit.
Bonus points for the food court! Amazing options, including gluten free!
