The Children's Museum of Indianapolis! Best museum in the country!

We took our daughter for the first time to the Children's Museum last week! I was impressed! The museum is very educational for any age. My daughter was 3 years old and she was learning through playing with the exhibits. They had a pre-school room (for 3-5 year olds) that had a sand and water table and they had little notes next to every display educating you on why your child does what they do and what it means. The exhibits were all very clean, interesting and up to date.The exhibits were informative enough to keep an adult's attention while they were interesting and exciting enough to keep our daughter. They had dinosaurs, a dollhouse room, an arcade room, puppet-exhibit, music exhibit, television exhibit, underground animal exhibit, Arther's World, 1880's exhibit, etc. It was definately worth it. It's $12 for adults, and $7 for children. My employer offers discounts so you might want to check on that. But make sure you leave extra time for the Dinosuar dig site and the water areas in Scienceworks. My daughter also loved the maze... and they also have a merry-go-round that the younger children love. The food court has great variety of food with reasonable pricing and plenty of seating. This is definately an all day trip so don't plan on doing anything else... we went on the weekend at they are only open from 10 am - until 5pm. And it took the entire time to see everything. It's definately worth the money. We're thinking of getting a family membership next year.
