Indiana State Museum, Indianapolis

The museum is a great way to learn about the state, the land, the several tribes that lived here, and the history. It's a great way to spend several hours. Parking wasn't well marked, though you can park under the museum. I'd recommend walking or Lyft if you are relatively close as parking is pricey. The food was better than most restaurants and probably the best food for any museum, including the Smithsonian. My only issue is the utensils were wood. I get being cognizant about recycling, just use washable metal utensils or find something similar to plastic. Prices are airport level, though food is worth it. Great job with the layout, and my condolences to Fred, he was just trying to get lucky!

I wasn't quite sure how interested my kids would be in the exhibits but they thoroughly enjoyed it! I would highly recommend a 3D IMAX while you're there. We ate lunch at the Cafe. I was expecting high priced, low quantity, low quality food and was pleasantly surprised! Generous portions for the price. My kids shared a sandwich and chips. It was such large portions my husband and I could have shared a plate as well. Would highly recommend a day here!
