Indy's Childrens Museum

Ready for round two? :)
We spent a few hours with the kids at the Indianapolis Childrens Museum while we were in Indy. It is always a hit with the kids when we visit Grammy and Grampy and there are exhibits that rotate regularly so there is always something new to see (on top of all the other 6 floos of things to do and see!)! Right now they have a Barbie 50th anniversary exhibit and an Exploration of Egypt, Bob the Builder and for spring break they had turned a huge flight of stairs into a slide! Seriously, a slide! It was great fun for all of us!Barbielicious! I think I liked this exhibit more than the girls! It was so fun to see all the barbies from the last 50 years! I found a few I had had growing up and it SO took me right back to the days holed up in the basement for hours agonizing over shoe choices! I digress...
In the barbie exhibit there was a runway with bumpin music, lights, and places for paparazzi to be shootin away. The kids could got "backstage" and dress up in glamwear and strut! The girls were lovin the camera! heheh

A meal with goldielocks' Three bears!The Egypt exhibit began with a plane ride in a nearly real plane! You could even feel the vibration of landing and takeoff in the seats! The girls were really taken by all of this!


The girls really like Bob the Builder and had alot of fun exploring everything in this area...they were able to see how to plant a garden, how a water pump worked, play with wheelbarros, and crawl all over bob and his friends!


Brad even found a friend to "lean on" in Bobs workshop!

This was the huge stair/slide! We did it twice and the girls LOVED this best of all we saw there!

If any of you have kids and are in the area...it would be crazy not to stop! Its really that good! Maybe even worth a roadtrip and a hotel if you combine it with the zoo and the millions of great resturaunts! No I'm not being paid by the Indianapolis Board of Tourism, I swear! ;)
