The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis
3000 North Meridian Street, (317) 334-3322
This is by far the greatest children’s museum in the world; it’s a day full of adventure and learning for children of all ages. You can meet a mummy, climb a limestone wall, ride on the world famous carousel and sail through space in SpaceQuest® Planetarium. Also, ‘Dinosphere’: Now You Are in Their World is not to be missed. This museum is fun for all ages.

The Hall of Fame Museum is one of the world’s largest, most varied collections of racing, classic and antique cars housed here featuring more than 30 Indianapolis 500 winning cars. My personal favorite is the yellow number 1 Belong Special which won the 1958 Indianapolis 500 with driver Jimmy Bryan. The Tony Hulman Theatre presents a great 2-minute film depicting the history of the track and race highlights. Bus tours are available for fans to tour the famed 21/2 mile oval when the track is not in use for race events or testing. The museum is open year round except for Christmas Day.
