The museum is spread over four floors and each floor offers a different experience. Some of the things that you should see at the Indianapolis children's museum are:
1. Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs
This exhibit showcases over 130 precious treasures from the Boy King's tomb. Most of these objects on display are over 2,000 years old. Four galleries at the museum are dedicated to the objects along with the almost unharmed tomb. These items will be on display at the museum for a limited time: from June 27 - October 25, 2009.

2. Dinosphere:
Nearly 65 million years ago these massive creatures walked on our planets. The dinosaur display here is second to none and is one of the must visit places in the museum. There are some fun activities and interactive stations that will help you learn more about these mighty beasts of the past.
3. SpaceQuest Planetarium:
The fun and wonder never ends at the world's largest children museum. Enter the 130 seat theater and experience an impressive imagery show. Some of the most amazing shows that take place in the planetarium are Wonders of the Universe and Two Small Pieces of Glass. Some of the future shows planned in here are the Stars of the Pharoahs and Cosmic Canopy.
The museum is open daily from 10am to 5pm (closed on Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving). If you are travelling from out of town and want to get a hotel room in Indianapolis that is close to the Children's museum, then check out these links.
