famly fun
We had a great time in this museum! There are so many different facets of the museum that appeal to many different people. We were both very impressed with the section on Indiana history, even though neither of us are history buffs. It has something for everyone!

Our Son Loved It!
We took our almost two-year-old son to the State Museum during the Celebration Crossing exhibit to ride the train. He absolutely LOVED it. We were pleasantly surprised, though, at how much other cool stuff there was for all of us to look at afterward. Lots of interesting, engaging displays and exhibits throughout the building. My husband especially liked playing in the "Speed" exhibit, where he could be a kid again!
We even had lunch in their cafe, where we enjoyed the super delicious chicken velvet soup made famous at the L.S. Ayres Tea Room. Sooo good!
