Indianapolis Cheffers - I Need You!

[dianevill]

What is there to do in Indianapolis on a Wednesday? I need to travel there for my job (leaving Tuesday afternoon, coming home Wednesday night). We're thinking of making it a family mini-trip, but I have no idea what my DH can do with the kids (8 and 6 year olds) while I'm working during the day on Wednesday. Suggestions?

TIA!

YES! The Children's Museum is excellent!

The museum it is. We're going to stay at the Caribbean Cover Water Park Tuesday night and Dan's going to take the kids to the museum on Wed.

Thanks for your help - I knew I could count on my cheffer friends!

You'll love the Children's Museum. It's amazing. It's a shame it's Wednesday you're interested in. I'll be in Indianapolis from Thursday through Saturday.I'll be dad-sitting. My parents are visiting. (They live year-round in Florida.) They're staying in Indy. Mom is going with a friend to visit a mutual friend in Chicago. Dad is an 85-year-old blind man with hearing difficulties. It's not a good idea to leave him alone for long periods of time. LOL!

I second the childrens museum...we visited my sister in law just outside Indy over spring break, they had an awesome curious george display going on and I think they were advertising that there is going to be something w/ comic books soon..not sure if it's now, but definitely give it a try, and plan to go early and spend the day there..it's worth it!

Thanks again for the affirmation, ladies. Rae, wish we could've met up. I'll be back in the area again at some point, so maybe then!

Let me know, Diane. I'm only about 90 minutes from Indianapolis.

I'll let you know, Rae. Looks like I should be headed that way again within the next few months.

Just wanted to let you all know you rock! We just got back a few minutes ago and my kids had a blast at the children's museum today. We ended up staying at a "normal" hotel - it worked out fine because the drive ended up being a LOT longer than we planned. The kids got to swim last night for a little bit, and today was packed with 7 hours of museum fun with Dad. Wish I got to spend the day with them - they had more fun than I did.

Thanks again!
