Kids love to see the Indiana State musuem exhibits.
They learn so much about the history Of Indiana here.

Admission prices are reasonable.
Parking can be tricky. Additional cost.

Musuem staff are friendly and eager to "tell stories" about the history of Indiana.

My kids love the buffalo exhibit.

This is a new building & it's very nice.
There are holiday programs, call for details.

Honestly the first time we made a visit to the ISM, I wasn't expecting much... how exciting could a state museum be? But I was pleasantly surprised and have been back a couple of times since. This museum is large, has many interactive exhibits and appeals to all ages (kids can actually have fun here). This museum participates in a program called "Community Tuesdays" whereby standard admission is discounted 50% on the first Tuesday of each month. The museum also features an IMAX theatre (Community Tuesday discount does not apply to IMAX admission). PS - check out the exterior of the building, there are sculptures commemorating each of the 92 Indiana counties!
