Children's Museum of Indianapolis

Description:

• This is one of the largest children's museums in the world, with interactive exhibits covering everything from archaeology to world cultures to biotechnology, plus extensive toy and dollhouse displays, a working antique carousel ($1 per ride), and a planetarium. Recent additions include Dinosphere, a multisensory exhibit that combines serious science with kid-friendly interactive exhibits, and Fireworks of Glass, a 43-foot-tall blown-glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly. If you have kids, this is the place to take them.
