85 Christmas Trees in one place! If you love Christmas tree, you must come and check it out during November and December. They even hid several pickles in the trees for the kids to find them out. For the regular exhibit, the kids would learn how to preserve the artifacts. There is even a VR game area for learning more about basketball presented by Chuck Taylor.

Very interesting museum. The museum is larger and the exhibition halls are spaced far apart in a large building. Very spacious with interesting history i didn't know about Indianas history. Resist, is an incredible exhibit. Had no idea.

A little gem, I never paid attention to. This place is so cute & elegant. I enjoyed a play performed over the weekend & enjoyed every minute of it. The building has an amazing view from the canal at night. Can't wait to go back for more events.

Wonderful exhibits. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I purchased tickets online for a small discount. The toughest part was getting out of the parking lot. The box just needs some directions. They do validate.

We love the Festival of Trees! We went on a Tuesday evening when you can view the trees in the low lights. It was just gorgeous. Our favorite was the LS Ayres tree. I also loved the DAR tree. Every year it is a new spectacular experience!
