  Awesome "hidden" gem. Very educational, but even my 3year old loved it. Be prepared for stairs as there is only one area with the elevators that I noticed(and it either wasn't working or took FOREVER...it didn't hinder our trip much though).

  Fun and interesting exhibits, friendly staff, and never overcrowded. It’s been a great place to let our two year old roam and explore. Also great food at the cafe. If you can, I’d recommend a membership here, which gives you access to parking at the canal, and many historical sites across Indiana. We certainly make many visits throughout the year.
