Let your child loose in this mind-enriching world of sensory discoveries. According to Child magazine, the Children's Museum of Indianapolis is the "biggest and best children's museum in the world" and a top tourist attraction in the city with over a million visitors a year. Spanning 472,900 square feet with more than 120,000 artifacts and a five level playground, it's a child's mega mind booster and a fun place to learn.

Indy Greenways is a haven paradise for walking, hiking, biking and horse riding. Bikers can enjoy a 127-acre natural park with nine miles of down and dirty dirt trails for both the novice and expert rider. Throughout the park are hills that challenge walkers as well - but take note, bikers have the right of way here! Indiana's horse trails span 3,500 miles and offer a safe experience for all riders consisting of a system of loops, and a network without stables. But, you'd better take your own horse if you hope to ride.
