(
Gingerbread families stood all in a row – wondering which children would nibble their toes.
The spicy treat figures and houses have been a holiday tradition for centuries and now that tradition becomes reality as visitors step into a fairytale wonderland at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.
It’s all part of a seasonal, sweets and treats café and new Food Court at the world’s largest children’s museum.
If the visions of lollipops, gingerbread, and chocolate don’t grab your attention, the sweet smell of fresh baked goodies will at the Coffee and Treats section of the new Food Court. Children and families will find
everything from pastries, to muffins, and cookies. And for the next few months, gingerbread will take center stage. A self-serve frozen yogurt station with a choice of toppings will sit alongside some of Starbucks tastiest blends and specialty drinks.
Meanwhile, bright lights and healthy delights are available in the new Food Court. The Children’s Museum and Sodexo (it’s catering and food partner) listened to visitor’s requests and came up with new ways to make dining even more delightful.
New equipment provides more ways to create healthier options. In addition to traditional lunch food, there will be a focus in working with families who may have dietary restrictions. Call ahead and have the chef help you determine the best choices to meet your needs. Selections in the Grab & Go area have clearly marked labels listing ingredients and you can check with staff members at each station to determine the ingredients of what they have to offer.
The Food Court is still honored to feature the Kids Live Well and Partnership for Healthy America designation, a wonderful extension of our educational mission by helping families identify healthful menu options and further educate children about good nutritional habits.
