Children's Museum Holiday Stories

Hello! Our first visit to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis was in the spring of 2011. We had recently made a big move from a small town in Northern Michigan to the big city of Indianapolis. It was a HUGE change for my four children Alexis, 15, Lachlan, 12, Savannah, 10, and Lela, 4! Living in a small town far away from any major city made it hard for us as parents to come up with things to do that offered diversity and culture to our children's lives. We introduced geocaching and our family outings were never the same. Since moving to the big city and finding the Children's Museum all of the kids have found their "favorite" areas at the museum and our family trips there always start out with a compromise on the first place we go visit. Usually Lel,a our 4 year old, wins on that one :) The excitement of seeing Dora and Diego wins out every time as the first exhibit. We are very excited to visit this Christmas, so many exciting things to see and explore! With the age variations we have in our family it has always been a struggle to find something to do that makes everyone happy, the Children's Museum gives us the opportunity as a family to discover something new about each other every time we visit. Seeing the kids excited about their siblings excitement teaches them to be patient and "in the moment" wanting to smile and explore with each other until it's their turn to visit the place they most want to be in the museum! We LOVE the Children's Museum and this scavenger hunt would be an amazing experience for all of us! Thanks!
