With heat indexes in the 100's, we decided to take a family day road trip to the Indianapolis Children's Museum.
All I can say is wow! It was awesome!
We had never been there before, but I'd heard lots of great things about the museum. It was just a bit over a two-hour drive from our home; I'm so glad we made the trip!
There was so much to do and see!
We saw a mega transformer...
Hokusai's Great Wave done in JELLY BEAN! mosaic form...
Dinosaur skeleton fossils...
An impressive tower made of hand blown curly glass pieces...
A ginormous stuffed polar bear...
Beautiful and colorful dragons...
Ancient terracotta warriors and horses...
But most of our time was spent in the "hands-on" areas...
Where the little one helped rebuild a "gorgosaurus"; went on a dinosaur dig; helped move "rocks" from an ancient Egyptian tomb; "swam" with scuba divers hunting for "sunken treasure"; learned about the beautiful sky in the planetarium; and had fun with "Charlie Brown and Friends" in a musical play...
WHEW!
Come closing time, we were ready for our final stopping place for dinner, before heading home...
Oh, and by the way...
if you have an electric vehicle, it's only $2.50 to charge it...
:-)
What a fun and exciting day!
We will definitely go back again sometime to see all the exhibits we didn't get to see this time around.
What an adventure we had!
