The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis’ iconic dinosaurs are now prepared for the museum’s 100th birthday! With a giant three-tiered birthday cake towering 6 feet tall and 7 feet wide and 2 foot tall party hats, their decorations are dino-mite.

From its founding in a small carriage house in 1925, the museum has evolved to become a nationally ranked family learning destination, sparking memories, wonder, and dreams for all. The year will be packed with celebration, including the opening of new, highly anticipated exhibits, a giant Centennial Ferris Wheel, and a 100th Birthday Bash.
The museum is continuing its birthday theme throughout its campus and is even spreading birthday joy into the community with a Birthday Cake Kit initiative. Throughout the year, the museum plans to donate thousands of birthday cake kits to local food pantries adding a pop of joy to birthdays for children and families facing food insecurity. The museum is asking for donations of shelf-stable birthday cake ingredients, including boxes of cake mix, cans of icing, and candles for the kits. The museum will provide the pans and cans of soda to complete the kit. Why does a can of soda replace eggs, water and oil? Regular cake ingredients react with baking powder in the cake to create carbon dioxide. It’s the bubbles that help the cake rise to be nice and fluffy.
The museum has partnered with Kroger, Acorn Distributors, Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, and the Mid-North Food Pantry to amplify their message of childhood hunger and help distribute the kits to families in the community to experience birthday joy. Donations have already begun being packaged up into birthday kits that will be distributed every month.
The Children’s Museum Centennial year is presented by Purdue University.
