Dinos roar. Families keep score in smiles in the Riley Children's Health Sports Legends ExperienceⓇ—our outdoor sports wonderland. Children of all ages go 'round and 'round the Carousel. Untold stories are shared. Ancient treasures and new frontiers are explored.

The Children's Museum is an amazing place where curiosity is sparked, imagination is fueled, and lives are changed. We cannot fulfill our mission without your help.

Your donation helps the museum in four key areas:

The heart of The Children's Museum is the people who elevate the visitor experience, making the museum truly one-of-a-kind. From extraordinary exhibits, to in-gallery programming, interactive shows in the Sunburst Atrium, and live performances in Lilly Theater, the annual fund supports these offerings that make The Children's Museum unique.

Future exhibits, including a new Take Me ThereⓇ destination, only happen when funding is secured. New experiences are what continue to make the museum one of the best places in the world for inspiration and family learning.

The Children's Museum offers a variety of programs that provide support and resources to families from the surrounding neighborhoods, as well as free and reduced admission to underserved families from across Indiana. Programs include:

The Access Pass program
Indiana families enrolled in CSFP, HIP, Hoosier Healthwise, SNAP and/or TANF can visit the museum and 13 other cultural institutions for just $2 per person, per visit. More Hoosier families now qualify for this program and your financial support ensures we can continue to meet the demand so that all families can enjoy the state's cultural institutions.
The Old National Bank Mid-North Promise Program
Neighborhood families can work with museum Family Learning Navigators to plan for educational and career success and connect with community resources to help them achieve their goals. The museum serves as an anchor in our communities.
Free admission days
Offered four times per year, these free days ensure that all children and families—regardless of income—can experience the museum. The annual fund helps us continue to offer these free days for our community.
StarPoint camp
StarPoint is a unique, educational summer camp for youth ages 6-12 in The Children's Museum neighborhood. All of the camp activities are curriculum-based and developed by trained museum educators. Thanks to the annual fund, StarPoint camp is affordable for any and all kids!
