Description

 

With 472,900-square feet, more than 100,000 artifacts, and over 1 million visitors each year, we are the largest children’s museum in the world.

Since it was first established in 1925, The Children's Museum of Indianapolis has expanded to become one of the top-ranked, most-respected children’s museums in the nation, providing one-of-a-kind experiences that range from our immersive Dinosphere© to the exquisite, five-story Fireworks of Glass sculpture by renowned artist Dale Chihuly.

The Children’s Museum is at the forefront of creating learning experiences with the power to transform the lives of children and families. We are also a pioneer in both the education and museum worlds, offering engaging exhibits, interpretive activities, standards-based school programs, and teacher development workshops.

About The Children's MuseumAn important part of our success takes place outside the walls of the museum, through neighborhood partnerships, community outreach efforts, and the positive economic impact of museum attendance on the economy of central Indiana.

We welcome visitors from across the country and around the world, and are honored to serve our friends from the Hoosier state as a neighborhood partner, a community advocate, and a cultural leader.

    This is a wonderful place for the senses for all ages of kids...we big kids enjoy it too! I have visited The Children's Museum quite a few times since moving to Indianapolis. One time though, T escaped the building while we were there with only 2 kids and 3 adults, one of which was an ABA therapist! It was so incredibly scary, because it happened in a matter of seconds and he was out the door all the way from a third floor down...the security in there, once alerted was superb!! They have a very good set-up for locating lost children thankfully and he was back with us in minutes. Overall, I would definitely recommend this for families and children with autism, but keep a close watch on your child if they like to escape! I would also suggest going on an off time during the week, they have free days too, and ease your child into the setting if they have anxiety over new or large places. There is a food court or you can pack a lunch. The toddler area was a favorite and not as overwhelming for my kids when they were smaller, and it is self-contained, and sort of a combination of the theme of a lot of what the museum is all about, very hands on and fun for the little ones!
