Indianapolis Children's Museum

On our way back from NJ, we stopped in Indianapolis to stay the night. We decided to celebrate Father's day at their children's museum. It was amazing. It is the largest kid museum in the world. 
Ollie in front of a life size BumbleBee Transformer. 
The exterior of the building had tons of life size dinos breaking in or busting out of the building. 
The dinosaur section had a planetarium as well as several full skeletons. Even a mummified duckbill. 
They had a section for temporary exhibits that was set up like a trip to China. Ollie liked the calligraphy hands on stuff best. 
Two story Great Wall of China slide. 
The area for younger kids was like Wonderscope here in KC - if they had millions of dollars. Penny loved it!!!
Climbing bean plant. 
Penny like the area on native wildlife, too. 
This Terra Cotta Warrior was a puzzle made out of rubber. So cool!!
They had a four story Dale Chihuly sculpture. At the bottom, it spreads out and you can lay down on a rotating couch to observe it. 
Then the kids can build their own in plastic. Funny O. 
Rated 10 out of 10 by our family. Great Dad's day.
