With us being frequent visitors and now as parents of a pre-K student at the school we have been watching the full construction process as it's progressed. I'm happy to say that the exhibit FAR exceeded our expectations and wishes. With 12 outdoor exhibits and 3 indoor exhibits encompassing physical fitness, sports history and tons of family fun we were blown away. With a General Admission ticket or membership, each guests can explore and discover... 12 outdoor sports experiences 3 indoor sports exhibits, including the National Art Museum of Sport The 60-foot tall Children's Museum Guild's Tree of Sports 5 floors of fun in The Children's Museum The 12 outdoor sports experiences include: Soccer Tennis Baseball Tree of Sports (tree house meets jungle gym) Racing Basketball Football Golf Avenue of Champions (The avenue features 16 individuals who have left a significant impression on sports history, who have defied odds, who have given back, and more. To learn how the legends were chosen, read Advisor Skip Berry's blog.) Hockey Fitness Path Track In the summer months it's open late so it's a great way to burn off some extra energy before bed when the crowds are low or to walk your baby to sleep!

I wish they had this when I was a kid! I had no idea you could go inside the awesome tree! It has slides and is a great climbing and look out tree! This new addition to the museum is well worth the wait. It has basketball, football, hockey, golf, tennis, baseball, race cars, and much more! They have a track that runs along the outside perimeter of the experience. They have employees in each area to help guide you. They have an area where you can buy refreshments and food. They do have water bottle refill stations and water fountains available. They had tables with umbrellas to stay out of the shade. I suggest sunglasses and sunscreen on really sunny days. They also have a nice indoor part to this new addition. It has a lot of interactive displays. It's one of the neatest exhibits I've seen in a long time! They did a great job on it.

Just when you thought the Children's Museum couldn't be any better, they add this new 7.5 acre amusement park/art museum/collector's showcase to draw in kids who would rather be running around and playing than looking at things inside a museum. I would guess the target ages for the park are probably 5 on up to pre-teen, though there are some activities that older kids and grown-ups can participate in too. The official name is the Riley Children's Health Sports Legends Experience and that covers the amazing outdoor complex, the National Art Museum of Sport (Namos), the History of Hoops, and the World of Sport exhibits on the inside. The park is part of the Children's Museum and is included in your Museum entrance fee. (No plans for separate park fees at this time.) The good news is that you can still park in the museum's lot/garage and see all the fun stuff in the museum if you want, and then head over to the park through the central lobby when the kids start getting anxious to run and play. Once inside the lobby, instead of turning right (south) to enter the museum, you turn left to go into the indoor exhibits. (Note: Save your tickets, paper or digital, because you will need to show them each time you enter the museum or the park sections.) The indoor Hoops and World of Sport areas have items to look at, many with Hoosier ties. There are even some activities to participate in like broadcasting or trying to match Reggie Miller's crazy scoring binge against the Knicks during the playoffs. The Namos area has a lot of paintings and sculptures with sports themes. Each stop has information about the art and artist who created the pieces. And finally, I hit the outdoor area and was amazed at all the color and fun things to engage in. The main path through the park is the Avenue of Champions which runs to the north end of the park where it reaches the massive Tree of Sports. The tree appears to be a giant tree with large sporting equipment emerging through the bark. Inside, you can climb 25 feet in the air and look out over the park. The lower levels have slides that you can use as escape route (Note: The slides are designed for kids. I was having to bend my legs in some crazy ways to keep sliding through!) On either side of the Avenue, local teams have their logos on each of the sport centers. Pacers and Fever have multiple basketball goals and some exercises to sharpen your skills. The Colts have a mini field where you can run through tackling dummies and practice catching passes. The Indy Fuel have a street hockey version of their rink while the Indians have a home run derby area. The Indy Eleven have soccer skills, and the Indy 500 and the US Nationals Drag racing have pedal cars to allow kids negotiate those types of race courses. Around the different sports are three lanes of track. One is for walking. One is for running. A third (the inner track) has stops along the way where you are challenged to complete certain exercises with the equipment on hand. On the far end of the park is the golf complex. There are several 9-hole courses to play including one for toddlers, one for instruction, and two Pete and Alice Dye signature courses that are inspired by real golf course holes. I played the Red Signature Series B course and let's just say I won't be joining even the Senior tour anytime soon. For safety and fun, you use oversize plastic ended putters and a tennis ball to play. Each hole has different colored astro turf (different thicknesses too!) that represent the fairways, rough, sand traps and water. Of course, the ball rolls through the sand traps and water easily enough, but the course still is challenging. I noticed two of the nine holes were 90 feet in length, so you do have to put some "uumph" behind the strokes to get the ball to the hole. The park has concession stands, restrooms, and water fountains without having to go back into the museum. There aren't a lot of shaded areas, but that wasn't a concern in March. So, if you have kids (or want to play like one) who love trying new things and enjoy the physical activity of playing, this park is a Home Run (or Touchdown/Three Pointer/Ace/etc!) Review #715

We had a great time here. I took my 4 and 2 year old. There were lots of lifeguards on duty paying…read morevery close attention and took their jobs seriously. The kids area looked to be updated with a toddler slide, and the big slide was fast and fun!!! I will definitely be back. They are open even in the winter and it was a good day to go today because it was slightly raining out. 4 stars because they have a good court with nothing in it.

Eh -- Indy Island is OK. I'll start with the positives:…read more 1. There were always at least half a dozen lifeguards circling the perimeter of the pool and water area. They were constantly walking back and forth, checking things out, so I always felt like my kids were safe. 2. This indoor aquatic center is open year-round, so kids have a place to splash, wade and swim even when it's freezing outside. The day I visited, the water temperature was nice and warm, and the ambient air temp was just as inviting. 3. It's really inexpensive. Prices range from $4 to $6 dollars depending on age and the day you visit. Kids 2 and younger are free. 4. This is a small indoor water park, but it's big enough to have fun for hours. Now for the negatives: 1. This indoor water park is really old and in need of an update, and it shows. The playground structures in the water area are visibly rusted and look dirty. 2. The lock to the bathroom / changing room I was in DID NOT LOCK. It goes without saying that their changing rooms should have working locks. I had to stand by the door to block it, hoping that no one would try to come in! It also didn't have a trash can, for some reason. 3. The hallway to the changing room was super dark and didn't have any lights. Pretty much the last place you want to be changing in is a dark and creepy room. Fix the lightbulbs! This is another simple thing that could be fixed if they kept up the place. 4. They don't allow outside food or drinks inside the aquatic center. You can buy food and drinks at their snack bar, but when I was there (on a weekend), it was closed. Not sure what they expect visitors to do with a closed snack bar during operating hours. I like that Indy offers places like Indy Island so kids can enjoy swimming and playing in the water indoors. But this place is in need of some TLC in order to compete with some of the other indoor aquatic centers.

The farm land is huge and the animals are all well behaved so even if you're scared, you won't be for long. We took the Girl Scout troop on an outing here and the girls loved it. Kadeem is really eager about introducing farm life to city kids and helping make the comfortable and knowledgeable. I loved the way he allowed them to interact with the animals in ways they would never be able to other places. He does not restrict the kids and uses everything as a learning opportunity. My daughter was upset we had to leave without the alpaca. We will definitely be returning again. They also do petting zoo and horse rides for parties. He was so nice to even walk with my daughter bc she was scared to ride. 10/10 I definitely recommend to anyone looking for an up close, personal. Memorable animal experience!

Within…read more30 minutes, I was at the register purchasing a $157 monthly pass (4 months) for the toddler area. I was impressed enough that I texted three friends photos, told my wife to start planning our son's birthday party here, and was actively asking managers about upgrading to full access because I had just discovered the larger "Adrenaline" area. For context: it's Indiana winter, it was cold, and I had a hooded sweatshirt on with the hood up because I was freezing. During my 2 1/2-hour stay, I spoke with two managers about memberships--neither said a word about my hood. While walking around trying to keep up my child, I heard someone off to the side say, "Take your hood off." I approached the man, who asked me politely. I politely asked why it was a rule. His response was shocking: "So I can see your entire face on my 50 cameras." This was 11:30 a.m. on a Friday, not a packed weekend night. I turned away to continue looking for my child, removed the hood, and muttered "whatever dude" under my breath. That's when the situation escalated wildly. He charged toward me, yelling: "I'm the owner--if you don't like it, leave!" I had already complied. That wasn't enough. He then shouted: "I'll give you your money back!" And finally said something that truly crossed a line: "If there are off-colored people with hoods up and we ask them to take it down, what would that look like?" I'm still trying to understand why race was brought into this at all. Let me be clear: * The facility is great for kids * The staff and managers were wonderful * We were not leaving anytime soon until this happened But the owner's behavior was aggressive, unnecessary, and completely inappropriate. A simple rule explanation would've sufficed. Instead, it turned into a power trip with racial commentary that had no place in the conversation. Rules are rules--but how you enforce them matters. I'll take the refund. And I'll take my business elsewhere.

We stopped by the Busy Bee Play cafe on a Sunday morning with our 1 and 3 year old children. Coming…read moreright as they open in the morning is the ideal time to come as it is still relatively quiet during those hours. The cafe is large and clean with a variety of different formats for the children to play in. Having a dress up area, some segmented areas for blocks and trains, and individual "store fronts" was great. Our kids had a wonderful time. The only reason I took a star away was inconsistent application of rules as many children were not wearing grip socks while it was included as a requirement. We were asked to purchase these from the cafe when we checked in... which if it is an established rule is fine, but a little annoying that the rule isn't universally applied. The play cafe is also a bit more expensive at ~$17 per child ages 1-10 with no discount for multiple children (as of Feb 2026) compared to other play cafes we have been to. It also did start getting quite crowded around 10:00 AM and there didn't seem to be an end in sight. Still, it is a nice cafe and I'd recommend it to others looking for a place to take your kids, especially if you can avoid the peak periods.

I will admit that the food is a bit on the pricey end but oh well. The pizza is good though. They have a private parking lot there, but it gets packed during peak hours. I came on a Saturday afternoon and ended up parking in the lot across the street. You must have their socks to participate in the fun. Everyone must also fill out a waiver and spectators must also pay to enter the slide area (which is different from other similar parks that I have been to. To save time, I recommend completing the waiver online. The place was very chaotic when I was there. There was kids all over the place. The lines for the slides did move relatively quickly though. The staff there, from top to bottom is very friendly, helpful and welcoming. I was very impressed, especially considering that they deal with screaming kids all day. Great job to them and whoever does the hiring. For those having a party there, you are giving a dedicated table with a server. The party area is in an open fenced off area. They do not have party rooms. There are a few places in the play area for caregivers to sit while the little play, but those places few and far between. The slides there are awesome. They are huge and some can appear a bit intimidating. I wish I had a place like this when I was little. They also have a small zip line, a two basketball courts. There is also an area for little kids to play as well. I really like this places vibe. It is relatively clean and trendy, with big murals all over the walls. I sure hope that the Greenwood location, that they have been talking about for years opens soon. Either way, I am sure that I will be back to this place very soon.

There are staff standing at the top of most of the slides to assist and keep kids from going to close together. It was surprisingly enough to occupy them for 120 minute/2 hour ticket. They had to take a few breaks for the bathroom, snacks and drinks to rest. There's a concession stand with icee, soda, pizza, chips, etc. To snack on. I'm not sure if you can bring in your own food or not. Lastly, the adults can slide too if they want! If not, there are plenty of chairs, benches and take areas for you to sit. Be aware, it's VERY loud inside. Screaming, yelling, crying, excitement... bring a book or play on your phone!
