Guide: This is the largest children’s museum in the world. Over 1 million people visit the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis each year.
Claudine: Sam and I obviously aren’t young children, so is there anything here that we’d enjoy?
Guide: Absolutely. We have a planetarium and a carousel that people of all ages enjoy.
Gina: Are there any exhibits that are particularly interesting?
Guide: We have a permanent exhibit featuring three famous children and the impact they had on the world. People seem to enjoy that exhibit quite a bit.
Paul: Do other exhibits rotate?
Guide: Yes. We have many rotating exhibits, and we are constantly thinking up ideas for innovative exhibits in the future. Let’s get started on the tour, and I can answer your questions along the way.
