You’ll know you are at the right place when you see dinosaurs on the streets of Indianapolis. Specifically, they are alamosaurus and brachiosaurus, and if you want to know the difference, come on inside to learn that and more. This, the largest children’s museum in the world, makes Indianapolis a premiere destination for families with kids of all ages. From a beloved, historic carousel and a maze of mirrors to climbing a 20-foot high rock wall, the Children’s Museum is all about having fun, but oh, there are lessons hidden behind those dress-up costumes and funny sounds. Learn about careers in biotechnology and archeology, how Dale Chihuly made that magnificent sculpture in the lobby and what happens if you don’t wash your hands. Talk with a refrigerator, dig a tunnel and make a promise to lead a powerful life. Oh, and before you leave, look for another dinosaur — Dracorex hogwartsia — inspired by the adventures of Harry Potter and friends.
