We will be visiting Indiana this summer and I have been looking for some great places to take the family to.
One stop will definitely be the Children’s Musuem of Indianapolis. The Children’s Museum has 5 floors of fun and exploration!
Five floors! That’s incredible! I actually visited the museum about 15 years ago with my husband’s three boys. This will be the first for my two little ones. They will be so excited!
Right now the newest exhibit is the National Geographic Treasures of the Earth (www.childrensmuseum.org/treasures). It features 3 archaeological sites—an Egyptian tomb, a pirate shipwreck, and the terra cotta warrior dig pits. The whole idea is to explore the clues in each area and discover for yourself whose tomb it is…if it’s a pirate shipwreck…and who were the warriors protecting. There are tons of authentic artifacts, technology, hands on interactive, etc.
Both my children will love that. Savannah on a lower scale only as the cartoon, Oliva loves pirates.
Other attractions are: Dinosphere, Take Me There Egypt, Dora and Diego, Barbie fashion, Playscape, Story Avenue, Indy Racecar, Science Works and Biotechnology Learning Center. The museum has a Carousel, a store and a food court as well.
It sounds like an all day adventure! I’m not sure if we will be a be to see it all.
I will take lots of pictures and will do a review post after we come back from our trip!!
* I will receive 1 admission to the museum to compensate my post. Opinions are my own.
