The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis kicked the New Year off with a huge endorsement from Cultural Traveler Magazine.
The magazine explored museums and attractions across the nation to determine the best cultural finds of 2013. It awarded the world’s largest children’s museum high praise when honoring it as one of its Top Ten choices.
The article describes a visit to The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis: “A visit will jump start your imagination with its innovative, interactive displays that encourage exploration, investigation and discovery.”
“We are honored that this prestigious publication recognizes the museum for our approach to creating extraordinary family learning experiences,” said Dr. Jeffrey H. Patchen, president and CEO, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.
Active use of the museum’s extensive artifact collection (more than 120,000 artifacts in all) is a trademark of the museum as is the way actor/interpreters are used to help bring stories to life. The Children’s Museum enjoys more than 1.25 million visitors each year with nearly 40 percent of those visitors coming from more than 100 miles away.
The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is a nonprofit institution committed to creating extraordinary learning experiences across the arts, sciences, and humanities that have the power to transform the lives of children and families.
