"Founded in 1925, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is consistently ranked as one of the top children’s museums in the United States. With a 482,950 square-foot facility on about 30 acres of land, it’s the largest children’s museum in the world and draws over a million visitors each year," the Life In Indy says.

"Beyond its exhibits, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is also dedicated to giving back to the local neighborhoods and providing programs to support the community. All residents in the surrounding neighborhoods receive free membership, and their Access Pass offers reduced prices for low-income Indiana families. Families in the nearby neighborhoods can also receive academic support to help children learn and develop college and career readiness.

"What sets the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis apart from so many other places is that it’s truly designed to bring your family together. While kids are given the freedom to explore and discover the world in a way that’s made uniquely for them, you are there learning, growing, and making memories right alongside them. With a wide variety of different interactive and sensory activities throughout the museum, you and your kids will never get bored."

"The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is the world's largest children's museum. It is located at 3000 North Meridian Street, Indianapolis, Indiana in the United Northwest Area neighborhood of the city. The museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

"It is 472,900 square feet (43,933.85 m2) with five floors of exhibit halls and receives more than one million visitors annually. Its collection of over 130,000 artifacts and exhibit items is divided into two domains: Arts & Humanities and the Natural Sciences. Among the exhibits are simulated Cretaceous and Jurassic dinosaur habitats, a carousel, a steam locomotive, and the glass sculpture Fireworks of Glass Tower and Ceiling. The museum's focus is family learning; most exhibits are designed to be interactive, allowing children and families to actively participate.

"Founded in 1925 by Mary Stewart Carey with the help of Indianapolis civic leaders and organizations, it is the fourth-oldest such institution in the world. The current site became home for the museum in 1946; the current building was constructed in 1976 and has had four major expansions since then. The museum hosts thousands of activities annually, including plays at the Lilly Theater, classes and workshops for school children, traveling exhibits, and fund-raising events." (Wikipedia)

"It's the world's largest kids' museum, sprawled over five floors holding incredible exhibitions on dinosaurs, space stations and so much more," the Lonely Planet says.

"The museum is centered around a stunning 43ft sculpture by Dale Chihuly that teaches tykes to blow glass (virtually!); and the fantastic new 7.5-acre Sports Legends Experience is the outdoor playground of your dreams, with numerous fields and courts dedicated to all major sports.

"Lots of activities. Kids love the outside area with all the different spor to participate in."

"So cool! Took us 6 hours with a lunch break and we only missed 1 exhibit. We started in the basement and worked our way up. Dinos are awesome, as well as the historic stuff about Egypt, Greece, and the whole “power of children” exhibit left us speechless. My little enjoyed the water table and restaurant play area. Dinosaur train was a hit for my 3 yr old. The outdoor sports arena is a place you could stay all day and play."

"I thought my 11-year-old daughter might be a tad too old for this museum but it ended up being the highlight of her vacation. She absolutely loved the outdoor sports park!"

"The infant and toddler area on the third floor is lovely! The staff is courteous and patient and always ready with a smile. We had the best time visiting and cannot wait to return!"

"You'll want to leave plenty of time to really enjoy each area because there's so much to do. The attention to detail is great - you feel immersed in the exhibits, kinda like an educational Disney."
