The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is the largest museum of its kind in the world, with four levels of attractions designed to educate and delight kids of all ages. The 400,000-square-foot facility houses eleven major galleries that explore everything from physical and natural sciences to world cultures and the arts. The Dinosphere exhibit, for example, includes one of the largest displays of cretaceous period dinosaur skeletons in the world, and offers a hands-on dig, interactive stations, and lessons in dino fossil preparation. Little rail fans will love All Aboard!, a Victorian-era steam railway depot with a 19th century locomotive and tool car, as well as recreation of the 1890's river town of Madison, Indiana. When I was a kid, I always loved planetariums, so I'd definitely want to check out the SpaceQuest Planetarium, which boasts a DigiStar sky projection system, over 50 slide and video projectors, and a full surround sound system. Grab the kids and take a seat in this state-of-the-art theater for a show like Cosmic Canopy, Season of Light, and the always-popular Far, Far Away: The Worlds of Star Wars. It could easily take all day to see everything in this fascinating museum, but when it's all over, the nearby Sheraton Indianapolis City Centre Hotel will provide a perfect place to kick back and rest knowing that you gave the kids an educational and rewarding day.
