The Children's Museum of Indianapolis...

Candace's parents treated us to a day out at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis on Saturday, 9th February. It is the world's largest children's museum with many displays geared both to children and adults alike. The play area, carousel, trains, dinosaurs, and International Space Station exhibit ranked amongst our favourites! :) It was a fantastic day and we loved seeing all the interesting exhibits. We definitely recommend this amazing museum!
