The The Children's Museum of Indianapolis absolutely lives up to the hype. We arrived right when it opened and stayed as long as we could before naptime, but honestly we could have spent the entire day there. The parking is extremely easy and you are also able to rent a stroller pretty cheaply there which is a plus. Our kids especially loved the space exhibit and the exhibit (on the top floor I believe) that showcases a lot of the nature surrounding Indiana. There's so much to explore and everything feels thoughtfully designed for kids to really interact and play, not just look. Even moving through with little ones felt manageable because there are so many engaging areas to stop and explore. If you have young kids and are in Indianapolis, this is an easy five-star outing. We're already looking forward to going back. read more

One of largest children's museum. Many floors and sections to explore. It has Dinosphere, space/earth, power of children (Ann Frank, Malala etc), Egyptian discovery and more. Carousel is on the top floor (separated tix). It's a Historic Landmark originally located at White City Amusement Park (Broad Ripple Park) from the segregation era. Strong history going behind that wheel. You can easily spend a whole day there. Many hands on activities. Benches around for adults. Bathroom is clean. I definitely have a great time as well as my kid. Free parking lot. Highly recommend to get the tix online (extra $1 fee). Highly recommend to stop by if you are in the area. read more

It's a huge place with over 4 floors activities for children. They have free parking for guests. Tickets are $32 for adults and slightly cheaper for kids. They have carousel rides for kids as well, $2 per ride. The dino section is the largest one in the facility. There are several dino skeletons on display, a small bone digging area for kids and also window view of staff members actually extracting dino bones in a lab. Some of the other nice areas were the ISS and space program, the pop art hall and the Peru small town setup. There's a food court and store museum as well. Multiple restrooms available at every level. Families can easily spend more than half a day here exploring nature, science and also doing many hands on activities. read more

The Children's Museum is a member of ASTC, but they are not reciprocal. It is the world's largest children's museum with five floors and 7.5 acres! They offer rental wagons for $7 which was really convenient. They had a temporary Paw Patrol exhibit for toddlers on the second floor. The third floor was exclusively for toddlers and very humid and hot. There's a cafeteria with a gluten free power bowl option but the brown rice tasted raw or too hard. The museum store was huge with onesies, but only up until 18 months. They were missing size 18 - 24 months. My son loved it. Two hours wasn't enough so we'll be back again. read more

Review incoming from a "big" kid adult! I have gone here now 5 times in the past couple of years and had been consistently impressed by the high level of detail, quality and cleanliness of this children's museum! Spring/Fall are phenomenal times for the outdoor sports activities that are unmatched to any sort of learning and hands on fun when it comes to a variety of sports! (Winter it closes due to snow and summer it is blistering hot!) New exhibit was the paw patrol and while I did catch glimpses I was not able to full immerse myself just yet but do plan to soon. Also new is the Peru area (previously Greece) where your children are immersed in the culture (food, music, ecosystem) of Peru. It was AMAZING! From toddler to adults we all had a blast. The National Geographic area was the let down this trip as a lot of the heads on items were missing pieces, broken or very well used! The mummy is missing pieces of the puzzle, the excavating tunnel is slightly broken, and coral pieces were also broken in the under the sea area. The train exhibit is under reconstruction until late 2026 so do take note of that. The playscapes is always a fan favorite for our family and today was no different. Love the interactive water area and play ground while also a great place for newborns to nine months to get some needed tummy time! (I highly recommend bringing an extra shirt those kiddos will get wet!) Don't miss this place if you are in the Indy area and have some kiddos! (Tip: Buy your tickets online before hand and you will save big!) read more

Took my 3.5 year old here by myself on a Saturday. We stayed for 4 hours and didn't hit everything. I will say that it was an Absolute blast of a day for both of us! -$59 was a totally reasonable price for all of the activities -Even though we got there after 12, we were still able to find a parking spot in the garage and walking in was SUPER easy with the walkway they have from the garage to museum -Such a range of activities- we spent the most time with the glass sculptures, building the Lost Treasure Statues, Dramatic play in Peru, completing the dinosaur skeleton puzzle, racing the hot wheels cars on the epic track table, and of course outdoors! -Outside, we literally did all except baseball and the carousel. My kid wouldn't do baseball without a helmet being provided -His favorite outdoor activities were tennis, soccer, and being pushed in the blue car on the racetrack. -my only disappointment was that the football throwing area wasn't monitored or even that lines weren't encouraged. We were waiting to throw footballs in the holes and adults were continuously throwing balls and not waiting until kids were out of the way. About 6 people were throwing balls and it was a recipe for disaster as my kid was just telling me no one would share because he was raised to stand in line and take turns. Despite standing far back and waiting for these people to finish, he ended up getting hit with a ball bouncing back from one of the adults; it was only then that they told all of their children to stop throwing to give him a turn. read more

Great immersive museum for children. There's areas for babies and under 5 and then areas meant for kids 8-9+ and plenty for adults to see as well. Unfortunately the weather was a bit cold so we missed the outside sports area, but it looked very fun. The blown glass sculpture and water clock were were impressive, as were the large dinosaurs inside and outside. Free parking was great, but I wish adult admissions weren't so expensive or perhaps a discount for second parent to offset the price. It was around $90 for our family of 3. If we lived closer we'd definitely become members. read more

On a weekend trip to Carmel with my mother and 19-month old meant we knew we were coming here. My baby is a bit young for most of the stuff but she did enjoy the play area specifically for those under 5 and we spent an hour there while she climbed, played with sand, played instruments, made art and played in the water. So cute. We also enjoyed Winterfest and the large slide and explored Peru and some of the other areas of the museum. It's huge and we didn't have enough time to see it all this time - but, we plan to come back when she's bigger. I love how interactive and detailed everything is. In Peru, you could dance and since and make silver art. They had an open area like a food court where parents could sit at tables while children went into the kitchen and prepared meals and rang them up at registers. So cute. Love love love. My daughter took a fall in the play area for young'ins and bumped her head pretty badly. Staff were quickly there and asked if we needed her to be looked at and we decided to let an on-site EMT look at her. They were prompt and so nice. All was well, but, another added perk of this wonderful museum. I hope to come back in the summer when we can experience all the outside fun as well. My only issue was $36 is steep in winter when it sounds like a huge portion of the outdoor area is unaccessible - maybe the price should come down since you can't access a large portion of the stuff? read more

This is honestly one of the best children's museums in the country, and I've been quite a few. I did grow up here and I brought my children here for years, but now live out of state, but return home to visit the kids and grandkids. My kids have a membership here that included our admission so that was really nice. What was super impressive is what all they have done to the outside facilities, which are open in the summer. When they first tried this concept, I remember it just being based on basketball and boy what an amazing expansion they've done. Not only do they now have a Ferris wheel, but there is a wonderful treehouse, there are all sorts of sports activities around basketball, football, Hockey and soccer. The kids can also pretend they're in the Indy 500 with pedal car racing. Everything appeared to be included except the Ferris wheel, which was six dollars a person for members. If you go towards the back of the park, they have some of the most amazing mini golf you've ever seen. Mini set ups of world class golf holes around the world. There are many duplicates, such as one of the Kiawah Island, courses, etc. You can see the different horses, there are three of them on the picture of the mat. There is a smaller one that is meant for toddlers, but the rest are pretty serious and you could have some great fun out here While there is food available in the museum. There's also concessions out here with tacos and dip and docs and other stuff. One of the great things about this museum as well as you can bring your own food, which is extremely helpful when so many people have dietary issues. There are water filling stations as well, so bring your water bottles This is absolutely worth a visit on a nice day, it's pretty busy on the weekend so if you could swing it during the week, I would definitely give that a try. Staff are super friendly and helpful as well read more

The Children's Museum is huge and full of cool exhibits for kids. This year, I spent time in the Peru exhibit and the outdoor sports experience. Kiddos loved both! Peru had play spaces including a juice bar, restaurant, and even alpacas you could brush, feed, etc. The outdoor sports area is perfect for getting out some energy! There's a fitness track, mini golf, tennis, basketball, baseball, a large tree-shaped playground area, and more. When we went, there was a taco restaurant open and it was delicious. I tend to feel a bit overstimulated in the museum itself, just so much going on sensory wise (something to keep in mind), but the outdoor area is much less overwhelming and made for a fantastic fall outing! read more

This museum literally took all day and was more than I could have ever imagined. Its not titled the world's biggest museum for nothing. The exhibits were very interactive and surprisingly had things that appeal to adults as well. I learned much being there. Everything is well organized and all staff members were friendly and engaging with the kids. There was every mainstream sport available to play on full sized fields/courts. The food court had a good variety of food options, including allergy friendly choices, but were overpriced. read more

Finally able to check out the ever famous Indianapolis children's museum. I took my 16 month old and she had so much fun! It was cool to check out the temporary Mickey Mouse exhibit, especially for my daughter who loves Minnie. We also didn't go explore the under 5 kids area but this had to be a favorite of hers. She could have stayed for hours at the water table. We were only able to stay a few hours due to nap schedules but we could have been there all day! The sports exhibit is awesome and I feel this will be something even more fun as my daughter ages. We needed more time to check out more but did get some time to hit a few tennis balls Of note, there is a large free parking garage across and connected to the museum. read more

When I saw this mentioned in a travel fb group and saw biggest, best children's museum in the country I was like we must go! It was awesome and you could literally spend hours and hours here. We spent probably 2 hours before my son saw the gift shop and it was over lol. When we passed this place the next day driving my son was thrilled seeing the dinosaurs again outside. read more

Better than other museum food courts; they have coffee, "deli," which is prefab sandwiches and salads, a place like Sbarro for pizza and pasta, but not as good as Sbarro ( you take that as you will), and a "grill," with basically hamburgers and fries and a few other things. Using the baseline of a museum food courts, not a "regular" restaurant, I'd say it's still overpriced for what you get and I wasn't happy how they don't print receipts at all. (Feeding one adult and 3 kids was almost 3/4 of a Benjamin). You have to give them your email or phone number to get a receipt. We're here on a Saturday afternoon and plenty of seating. I was thinking 3 stars, but the kids said 4, when they considered other museum food courts. Of course, these are my opinions about my experience. If you had a different experience and a different opinion, good for you! Bottom line, if I were coming back here, I probably would still eat at the food court rather than deal with packing and bringing our own food, I just wouldn't be happy about it. read more

I have a lot of thoughts about this experience. Overall, it was fantastic and we'll return! We specifically came for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which wasn't as we had expected. We also found it to be a let down as outer reviews had states. The dinosaur exhibit was incredible! As was the stem area for ages 5 and under. The spots area was super cool for older kids. I'm a bit confused by the pop culture exhibit as it's really just a museum. The carousel was beautiful. And my kiddo enjoyed the life size doll houses. Lots of people were playing the board games. I called ahead to inquire about the $6 Thursday night and the girl who answered was not helpful at all. We arrived during regular admission time and it was $29/adult and $23/kid. They don't honor reciprocity so that's pretty pricey. The carousel and Ferris wheel are additional costs. The food court wasn't completely open, but seemed to have solid food options. It was nice to have a mid day Starbucks pick me up, to then learn they cannot enter certain exhibits but people were taking them in anyways (just look for the folks barreling through with their strollers). Parking was in the deck across the road. It was free and there's a walkway. When we purchased tickets on site the man was very nice and explained what the girl on the phone wouldn't/couldn't. We'd definitely return and make it an all day activity, especially when our kiddo is older! read more

What an amazing museum! It is geared towards children, so I brought my niece. I think we both loved it equally! So many hands-on activities and immersion is encouraged. I was floored by the paleontologists working on dinosaur bones! Speaking with them and learning/watching them work was so special. Getting to touch real dinosaur bones was SO COOL! The museum is set up well and you can easily spent half a day there. Parking is free! That makes the price even more well worth it. The museum is well organized and clean, too. Sometimes areas feel more busy when larger school groups arrive but it's easy enough to navigate to a less crowded space. Loved the insect area and learning with the staff about bees and pollinators! The cafe is pricey but pretty good. It feels a little like you don't have a choice but to pay the high prices if you're hungry and don't want to leave the museum -- that's my only complaint. Worth the drive to Indianapolis to visit the museum! I hope we can visit again because it's really a great experience! read more

Honestly surprised this museum scores as high as it does. While it's large and has a cool facade with its dinosaur models, the inside is rather blah and definitely not worth the high prices. I paid $104 to visit with two kids. The layout is a bit confusing with exhibits on both the left and right sides of the museum. You are required to show and scan your tickets each time you cross between sides. It's a minor inconvenience but seems like a poor design. The dinosaur exhibit is ok if you have a kid who is really into dinosaurs, otherwise it's nothing special. The current special exhibit is Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse. It was fun, but best suited for kids under 5. A lot of the exhibits are less hands-on than typical children's museums. Many were just not exciting--a working library is cool, I guess, but not what we pay to see in a children's museum. The sports area gets raves online, but we found the inside dull (a balance beam on the floor is an exhibit). The outside is a glorified public park with local sports team branding. Tennis courts, basketball hoops, track, etc. I did notice a lot of adults using equipment meant for kids (football goal kick) without intervention from employees. We were especially interested in the Indy 500 racetrack because it felt uniquely Indy, but it was inexplicably closed. We were told by one employee, it was due to the heat (it was 85 degrees outside), but another guest said it's closed more often than it's open. In hindsight, I would not have visited. There are much better children's museums out there. read more

We went on an impromptu trip to Indianapolis to visit the Children's Museum. We arrived early right after opening and were able to get a parking spot on the level of the bridge. We bought tickets ahead of time and were able to check in easily. We casually worked our way through every level of the museum and ended up spending the entire day there since there is so much to see. I wish we would have packed lunch the options were not great in their cafeteria. I also wish we went outside earlier to experience the sports complex and treehouse with more time before closing. It's a fantastic feature! read more

After spending 3 hours outside at the Legends Sports Experience, we clocked another 2+ hours going through the indoor exhibitions, which are quite diverse and brilliant ranging from the Dinosphere and Nat Geo's Treasures of the World recreations of Egyptian tombs and the Chinese Terra Cotta soldiers to a Victorian train and Spaceship Earth station. Our 9-year old was particulatly smitten with the interactive kinetic sculpture and the Water Clock, which is the largest of its kind in the country. Totally worth the 3 hour drive from Columbus. read more

This Children's Museum is incredible! Ranked as one of the top Children's Museums in the country, we knew we had to take our 2.5-year-old--and it exceeded all expectations. First impressions: The museum is massive. Outside, life-sized dinosaur statues peer into the building, immediately sparking excitement. Upon entering, you're greeted by the Bumblebee movie prop in the lobby. At first, I assumed it was a replica, but it turns out to be the real deal! The museum spans four floors, each packed with amazing exhibits and fully accessible via ramps and elevators. Here's a breakdown of our experience from top to bottom: 4th Floor: This floor features Tiny Town and the carousel. My daughter, who is obsessed with carousels, was thrilled! The carousel, which is 100 years old, costs $2 for non-members. If you have a tap-to-pay card, you can pay at the carousel entrance; otherwise, pre-buy tickets at the main entrance. Tiny Town is an adorable play area with miniature houses and shops. My daughter loved pretending to serve me ice cream and even made a little friend. The ScienceWorks area allows kids to pretend to be geologists or farmers, make balanced meals, dig through pretend rocks, and explore a water table. There's also a display of miniature houses, which I found intricate and fascinating--perfect for anyone who enjoys dollhouse-sized designs. 3rd Floor: This floor is home to PlayScape, designed specifically for kids under 5. The sand and water exhibits are perfect for younger children, and my daughter had a blast. There's also a music room, but we couldn't try it because a class was in session. There's a climbing structure for kids and their adults, though it seemed a bit tight, so we skipped it. There are also building areas and other interactive activities. The Power of Children exhibit offers meaningful historical content. While my daughter is too young to appreciate it, I found it interesting and think it would be impactful for older children. 2nd Floor: Here, you'll find the entrance to the museum's iconic spiral slide, which takes you down to the main floor--such a fun feature! The American Pop! exhibit showcases nostalgic toys like Beanie Babies and poppers, plus a fashion area for creating outfits and plenty of movie memorabilia. My daughter loved playing with the toys while I browsed the displays. The Winterscape area includes interactive slides, pretend ice skating with socks, and skee ball. I think this exhibit is temporary though. 1st Floor: The dino exhibit was a hit! With towering dinosaur displays and fossil excavation activities, it's a perfect mix of education and fun. By this point, after four hours of exploring, my daughter was starting to tire, so we only scratched the surface of this floor. By this point my daughter was getting sleepy and we had already been there 4 hours. I think was just scratched 75% of the museum. There was definitely still more since we didn't see Treasures of the Earth and the Spaceship areas. This wasn't even including all the outdoor exhibits that weren't open since we went in Winter. Overall: This museum is fantastic and worth every penny. It's packed with activities for all ages, and there's more than enough to fill an entire day. Luckily, Indianapolis is a manageable day trip for us, so we can't wait to come back and explore even more. Highly recommend it to anyone with kids! read more

We went to the museum as on our trip from out of state and we had a great time. While I will say it is quite pricey our kids enjoyed the experience. I absolutely loved that there were indoor and outdoor activities. As a parent of kids with a big age gap we had all of our bases covered. The Mickey Mouse experience wasn't all I expected- I did expect more interactive/immersive things but regardless our toddler enjoyed it. It was clean, considering all of the people that were there. Parking can get a bit hectic so pack your patience. I enjoyed seeing the employees at different places in the museum and hearing lots of facts and information about the exhibits. It was clear they love their job! Lots of kid friendly options for food. Overall we had a great time and wish we were local to take advantage of a family pass. read more

We had a great time at the Children's Museum! We spent a day here with our daughter and her two children (ages 5 yrs and 7 months). My daughter bought the tickets online ahead of time which does speed up the process of entering. She had also narrowed down the sections she wanted to visit. We enjoyed the Playscape area with art and music studios, plus huge water and sand areas, as well as block-building and ball areas. Each area is amazing! There is also an area for kiddos 2 and under which was nice. We also enjoyed the Peru exhibit. What a wonderful, interactive experience to learn about a country! Last, we went to the Micky Mouse Clubhouse. My granddaughter got to participate in an animal obstacle course. Children go behind the scenes to select a stuffed animal and practice taking them through the course. Then they come out one by one to show off their animal going through the course. She had a lot of fun doing this! These three areas were plenty for one day at the museum. read more

This museum is huge! There is no way you will have enough time to do everything in one day. I wish we knew this so I could pick where to go ahead of time, but we still had a great time and my daughter loved it. There's even a whole outside part that is included in admission we didn't make it to. I loved how interactive it was and how many activities there was, along with a lot of presentations and scheduled events. They also have rooms for breastfeeding moms in the Playscape area. Food at the cafe is decent for a museum and huge portions. We loved coming here and are thinking we may get a membership and come quarterly. Definitely spread the trip out over a few days if you can. read more

Took my kids to The Children's Museum for my daughter's birthday! We definitely would have stayed all day if it wasn't nap time. We went to guest services to get a print out of the activities of the day and I loved how the age range was included. The activities were age appropriate given the range and my kids who are 5 & 3 enjoyed their activities. There is so much learning and so many different exhibits to choose from. My kid's favorite activity was coloring the dinosaur and seeing it "come to life" on the projector. I can't wait to visit during the summer to go outdoors in the sports area. read more

Do not book a field trip with them! Our school will never go back. We were sent 2 emails and a packet with the wrong price point. So 3 documents from them with the wrong price but they said we have to owe more.

My students love it there but because of their customer service our school will NEVER RETURN! read more

It's definitely a big museum. They are listed on the reciprocity for children's museums, but beware that they don't actually honor it. It's full price, no discounts for being a member elsewhere. 2 adults and one child will set you back at least 105$. If you think you'll go at least twice, consider a membership. It's steep. One of the priciest children's museums we've been to in the country and not sure it's really worth it. While by square footage it is very big, we got through it pretty quickly; we expected to take all day going through it but less to do than at the Cincinnati one. The dinosaur exhibit is by far the most well-funded as is the outdoor sports arena. Otherwise exhibits are ok. Like most children's museums, there is a play area for kids under 5 with a small water station. There are stem areas for older kids to learn about farming, weather, and water systems. They have a random exhibit to go to Greece and a throwback to the 70s,80s, and 90s with classic board games and video games from the respective eras. The outdoor area has a lot of different sports for kids to try out and practice. It's interactive and fun. Everything is miniaturized for kids. Probably only good when the weather is nice. Good news is parking was free. Not sure it's quite worth a travel to, but if you're in the area and have kids, worth going to. Otherwise I think there are other museums in the Midwest worth traveling to. read more

I am obsessed with the children's museum and my kids love it too! We have the membership and have for about 3 years. If you plan on going more than a few times with a few people (kids) then this is the best bang for your buck. You could easily go every single time and see something different. They also change exhibits pretty frequently. Going during breaks is tough because everyone is there but if you stay at home or can go during the week (not during a fall, winter or spring break) that is the best time! Pictures are from the seasonal haunted house. 10/10 recommend. Parking is free in the garage or they have outside parking read more

We have heard nothing but exceptional reviews from different sources. We visited in late September and the experience certainly lived up to our expectations. Our family of four purchased the annual membership which includes access to all of the exhibits and unlimited carousel rides. We visited for two consecutive weekdays and there were no crowds for both days. Considering our daughters' young age and the expansive facility with multiple indoor and outdoor exhibits, they would not be able to cover a significant portion of the museum in just one day. We spent at least four hours at the museum for each day. For the outdoor sports complex, my girls tried hockey, football, tennis, baseball, race car, and golf. For the indoors, my girls really enjoyed the playscape, carousel, hockey exhibit, basketball exhibit, and music room. We highly suggest families with young children to purchase the annual membership and visit more than once. There are plenty of options in the food court but the food is mediocre at best. We ordered two hot dogs and a grilled chicken sandwich with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a side of tator-tots. Everything was room temperature if not cold. It would have been nice if they could spare a minute to warm up the chicken and let the slice of cheese melt on the sandwich. Fortunately, our girls ate the grilled chicken sandwich without issue. read more

Omg, this is the biggest children's museum which has both indoor and outdoor exhibits. We came the weekend that outdoor exhibits opened. Be sure to be flexible base on crowds since outdoors was empty at opening morning. After a couple of hours, it got packed. Mickey's playhouse was okay but son and daughter loved all the stations. Dinosaur had an interactive station where son could borrow clipboard to do some research project. Dining hall is gigantic and had great selection of food. White milk ran out toward end of day. Also, seating during lunch is hard so eat early to avoid crowds. Gift shop is very unique and well done. Something for every age. 3rd floor had playscape suited for toddlers with music, water table, and sand table along with tree house. We spent 2 days to spread out the fun without getting too exhausted. Special deal if you come back and pay $15 adult and $10 kid which is half off regular admission. read more

Wow! What a better place in Indianapolis to take your kids and or/ grandkids! The entrance alone will wow your kids! Who wouldn't love to see a dinosaur sticking his head through the window of the entrance. The staff is extremely helpful, friendly and talented! They have such patience interacting and sharing their knowledge of their exhibit with the public. Every time I go there is something new I learned. The exhibits start at 6 months. That's where you will find all the kids 5 and younger!! They have everything in there for the curious little minds, anywhere from stem activities to tactile activities. There is a safe area for you 6 month old to do tummy time and explore. There is so much to do and say about this amazing place that you have to go and see it for yourself!! read more

Stopped in Indy when traveling to Ky. We have a child under two and it was okay. We went on a Saturday which was probably not a great choice for how busy it is. With the size of the place I feel they need more family restrooms. They had 4 that we saw which seems like a lot but now for how many people they attract. Which are allll families for the most part. It was a 90 degree day in the city and if you are looking for a place to cool down... this ain't it. It was so uncomfortably hot in the building. The only place cool was the check in area. Outside is the sport area. That is why i gave 4 instead of 3 stars... incredible place to play. read more
