I feel lucky growing up in Indianapolis. I remember getting to visit the Children's Museum of Indianapolis in school. It was great exploring the Native American village, touching a real polar bear, and so much more. Then, coming back with my mom and seeing all the transformations. Seeing the Water Clock installed, the IMAX theatre, the Chihuly, the Dinosphere and now even more.
However, my favorite thing was ALWAYS riding the stationary bike up in ScienceWorks. It was my one singular mission when visiting. I was made sure I ate right and got a good stretch in then, it was on like Donkey kong. Starting with the light bulb, then like a fan, and maybe a radio, and the big deal was to get that black and white television to come to life. I could only keep it on for like 10 seconds but people would stand around and be in absolute awe. It was the most incredible experience. As soon as it was over, I'd have to be wheeled out from the massive cramping in my legs. It was so totally worth it.
Jump forward and I'm bringing my family to the TCM and they are whispering to each other from across the room, playing in Playscape, riding the Carousel, sitting in an Indy Car. Oh, and don't tell anyone about the 5 minutes I lost the kiddo in that black light maze across from the Carousel!
