The Children's Museum of Indianapolis - Children's museum in Indianapolis - 3000 N Meridian St, USA

An awesome experience here. First with my kids, and now with my grandkids. Over time I have seen the admission price increase, but try to imagine the upkeep of all the displays, and it becomes understandable. There are way too many exhibits here to describe. Plan on spending hours here and having a great time. If you wish to save some money, eat at home and come here with a full belly.

We've been here several times and it gets better every time! Between my and my bro in law's family there are four kids between 3 and 6 and they absolutely love it! I often think I want to visit here without them! The interactive dino coloring mural wall is always must see! And you can't ignore the giant dinosaurs you see busting through the walls on the drive up. The exhibits are engaging for all ages and if you go on the right day, it won't be too busy and you can jam around as you please! Don't forget the sports area off the main area and play with all the interactive games! Coach David was awesome!

I’m going to give this place 5 stars. For one, nostalgia, I used to love going there as a child. I was able to bring my son back here about 30 years later and the updates, along with some of the nostalgia, didn’t disappoint. I will say that after about 11-12 years old, it only becomes worth it to see the new exhibits that come out a few times a year. We went to it recently and had a great time, but the NASA/Space area is the only standard thing my son was really interested in. Unfortunately, a couple of the activities were broken, which I’ve noticed in past visits also. I believe they are funded by donations and memberships and not sure if they receive subsidies, but overall they do a great job. The dinosaur exhibit is a must see for anyone and the sport area is a great new addition that wasn’t there when I was young, but that’s only open in the warmer weather. Add on: The winter fest snowball fight is a good concept, but they need to have different times for different age groups and they need to expand the play area. As you can see, it’s a giant cluster. Still fun, although more focused on 8 and under.

Better and bigger than I remember from my childhood. They have done a lot with new displays. The dinosaurs are impressive. There are also several other new in revamped displays throughout the museum. The kids are enjoy it. You could easily spend more than a day here.

This is a great museum. There are a lot of different areas with interactive spots for kids to play with. We went on a weekend, and it was busy, but there were still a lot of things to do and share. The food is a bit pricey though.

Great place to spend a day... or a few days! The staff is knowledgeable and makes learning fun for young people. Clean and inviting campus, very interactive!

LOVED THIS MUSEUM It is the best children museum I have ever been to. The outdoor area with all the sports experience was out of the world. We enjoyed golf, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, football, racing... it was amazing. The indoor area had so many interesting exhibits, including minecraft and pop art. We went when the museum opened. We left when the museum closed.

What a great place! There’s an outdoor sports area kids would love plus all the 🦖 🦕 ❤️! This place requires a minimum 3 hours to tour and if you include the outdoors make that 5. Nice place for children! We went on the first Thursday of the month which is $6 as of 11-2023.
