The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis isn’t just the largest children’s museum in the world, it’s one of the most entertaining. The space is over 29 acres and has five floors of interactive features for visitors. Parents and kids alike have a blast navigating through exhibits like Dinosphere, Beyond Spaceship Earth, and The Power of Children—which presents influential stories such as Anne Frank’s to show the impact children have had (and will continue to have) in shaping history. One of the latest attractions is the Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience, which combines sports history, physical activity, and health education in a delightful 7.5-acre landscape. It takes less than two hours to drive to the museum from Cincinnati.
