Arnesia R: I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the museum while in Indy!!! This may be a children’s museum but it literally has attractions and cool exhibits for adults as well!! Now, while the museum was great my daughter and I truly went to go visit the Scooby Doo Mansion Mayhem exhibit and huge Scooby fans it was awesome!!!! (Also, I want to add the cost I referred to for am adult ticket isn’t accurate because I was paying too go to the special exhibit that was mentioned earlier.)

Archaeo Native66: What a wonderful, warm, inviting place. I visited it around noon time this past week and it was great. Very clean. The front desk lady was very nice and helpful. She told me exactly where to go for the Native American exhibit. The broad range of artifacts and interactive learning tools for kids was great. I really enjoyed walking around and observing to paintings, clothes, pottery, presentations. Highly recommend this museum and if you have spare time definitely check it out.

Lilly O Finch: I was confused about what this museum was. I thought it was a museum of art by indigenous people. It is actually primarily Western themed art by predominately white men. There is some art done by indigenous people. It is a nice collection of Wild West.Cafe was surprisingly good! Buffalo tacos were delicious.Don't forget to get your parking validated because then you won't have to pay.
ED G: I attended a guitar show a couple of years back, and it was the most memorable moments of my life. The amount of instruments they had that belonged to all the greats was breathtaking.

Jon A.: Beautiful facility, friendly staff, a shame it is for the liberal wokesters hell-bent on scrubbing history from the books and rewriting the way they want it to be. Very hypocritical in every sense. The founder was a coal miner, I'm surprised they haven't figured out a way to scrub his name off the building for being an American pioneer and builder of this museum and someone that worked and helped build this country. Shame on you staff for turning this Beautiful legacy into a woke, politically correct venue. You are shaming and chipping away at the very foundation on which you stand.
Jamie Lee Dalton: I had never been, in all the time it has been around. Throughly enjoyed the Changing Views: The Photography of Dorothea Lange exhibit. It got me in the door to experience it, as well as the rest of the museum. Loved the kids interactive area on the lower level. My niece is 12 and still got into playing the role of cantina waiter and riding the pony. It was time well spent.
andy whitehurst: Great place. I stopped in to see the Dorothea Lange photo exhibit. Awesome, very touching and thought-provoking.
Jim McKinney: Visited on Weekend Wait time No waitMore
Miss Eddie: We went to the Eiteljorg Museum today; it's about Native American Indian history and crafts. I was very excited about going, but it was a major let down when we got there. It was nothing but pictures and statues, and a lot of walking around without much to see. Now don't get me wrong, I'm very interested in Indians, because I'm part Cherokee also, but the museum was very sparse...a lot of the rooms were fairly empty. I will say there was several areas set up with things to do for the kids, in each area, and that kept our grandson occupied. They also had a children's area for them to be entertained, on the lower level.**I might go back someday if they get more to look at.**We did get in for FREE and we didn't have to pay for parking either, BUT, that was because we checked out the museum member card from our local library. I wouldn't have been very happy if we had paid for this trip!Be prepared to spend some hefty cash if you go, because we got our grandson a gift from the gift shop, a smallish Lego set with a big book of different things to build, and it was $25.00 + tax. They did have a lot of things to sell, and I believe it's almost all authentic Native American items, so that will make it pricey. We ate in the Cafe, and for me, my husband, and our grandson, it was over $47.00!
Amy Callahan: Be sure to catch the Jingle Rails exhibit around the holidays! Definitely one of my favorites.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait …More
rich walker: Neat place. I would be happy to pay for entry if my whole family didn't carry active duty military ID cards. This is supposed to be a Blue Star museum. Apparently the staff doesn't realize (or care) about their own policy. We mentioned it in the nicest way possible when presented with a $4 discount. If you are military you may not get it for free as they advertise. Just a heads up to our fellow veterans. This isn't a Blue Star museum.
Karen Stephenson: This is a great place to slow down and appreciate the beautiful art. Highly recommend visiting.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Price for adult entry $16–20 …More

Tyson Porter: Our guide was knowledgeable and professional. She was young and inspired by the history (especially Ben’s first wife!) Really positive experience.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry $11–15 …More
Jessica Wilson: I went here after a conference in November. It remains the best historical site I've ever been to (and I've been to many!)! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He talked at length about the activities of the women in Benjamin Harrison's life, his progressive ideas for policy, and his treatment of minorities. The house is incredibly well-preserved and accessible to visitors. Benjamin Harrison carefully adopted many new technologies to make the running of his household easier and more efficient. To me, this speaks volumes!
Darren: We enjoyed the tour of the Harrison home. Our guide was knowledgeable and gracious.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry $16–20 …More
Emma Wright: I’ve visited house museums all across the country, and I feel lucky to have this gem in my city! The guide was an excellent storyteller and carefully incorporated artifacts that shared the history of President Harrison and the home. I highly recommend for Indy locals or anyone stopping through.
Geoff McCuen: What a great hidden gem. Not only is the house line a time capsule, but there is so much history and information about Harrison that most Hoosiers don't know about.Visited on Weekend Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry $11–15 …More
Florence May: I've been many times over the years. For house tours (the guides are so knowledgeable about our former President and his family), Easter egg hunt, their seasonal plays, and hopefully this year for New Years Eve. The house is stunning with 80% of the collection from the family.

Marah Barker: A beautiful place with lots of cool things about it. We went during a renovation and it was awesome to see all the items that were from the time period as well as the restoration of such a beautiful place. It was awesome that there was one rug left from the time that Benjamin Harrison lived there. I hope to visit again when all the Christmas stuff is up.Great tour and definitely worth going to if you like history or need something to do on a day off.
白君德: Such a great treasure to have in downtown Indianapolis. I got a great tour and learned a lot. It would be great to see the rest of the house that was closed off when I was visiting. I parked right next to it in the street on a Sunday. Easy to get in and out.

Doron Berger: Fantastic example of turn of the 19th century Victorian style upper class homes. Lots of artwork and artifacts. The second and third floors currently under construction but it’s well worth the visit.Outside garden plaza has replicas of the bill of rights, constitution and Declaration of Independence.The Harrison family was very involved in 19th century US politics so you will learn a lot about the period.

danicka refugio: Had a photographer pass to go to the Newfields Spring Bloom event. Right after I got proposed to (literally right after. I said yes and we hug) a worker came up to us bugging us if we had a photographer pass. We could barely comprehend he was talking to us bc we were still on a high from our engagement. The camera our photographer brought is huge too (tripod and all) and we wouldn’t have been able to get past security without the photography pass. Very much ruined the moment. Please train staff to give people space. Needs better communication, transparency between coworkers and review of policies.
Amber Love: I have been a long time patron of the art museum but I'm disappointed by the direction the curation has taken. Many of the old favorites are no longer on display (it makes me ill to think of all the incredible artwork just rotting in the basement), and the ones left on display feel disjointed. I used to spend hours at a time in a single room, absorbing the paintings and enjoying the atmosphere, but it's different now. In an effort to bring in new artists, they've alienated many of their oldest fans. So many of the pieces feel like they were dumped randomly in a display case together--I feel like I've seen employees at Goodwill take more care in sorting like items. The spaces that had the most character, like the rotunda with the stained glass artwork and the early Indianapolis oil painting, leading in to the room with the O'Keefe lilies, is gone completely, and the lilies aren't even out. Overall, I'm really disappointed in the "new" museum and wish they'd return to the classic IMA exhibits.

Rhythm! Discovery Center: what do users think?
Kevin Werner: Kids of all ages 2-102+ should love this place. All kinds of different drums to bang on with some nice samples of of display sets.Cowbell? Yes, they have that as well.They have a couple rooms with a drum set that you should definitely check out. You can change the acoustics of the room to get a different sound.Unless you are sensitive to loud sounds, check it out. Well worth the Admission and more.Don't miss the Lego drum set and the set made during WWII when raw materials were rationed.
Antissa Wells: Interactive Fun for the Whole Family!!! Kids absolutely loved it!Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure Price for adult entry $11–15 …More
Nics3451: This interactive museum is a neat little adventure if you're looking for something you wouldn't find anywhere else. I loved the history lessons and the drum circle room which features a few lessons in drum techniques.It looked like they're in the process of adding more to the museum, but I hope they add more about different styles of drumming and the history there. They have a few facts about some very well known percussionists, but there could be so much more there. Examples of the styles from different countries. Different drum setups for punk rock and metal. Notable female percussionists. There's so much more.
Kylie Lockett: Awesome little museum to take the kiddos. It’s economical to get in and it’s great for a variety of ages. It’s nice that it’s attached to the mall because you can get something to eat for lunch and then take the kids down the escalators at the mall. It’s a hidden gem in the city I think. It was under construction the last time I went which it definitely needed. I’m sure they made it better with the remodel. Totally recommend it!

Timmy Ling: Overall pretty interesting place if you like drums, gives you an overall look into the ancient history of percussion and some recent history too. Be prepared to spend about an hour if you're not going to read all of the wall information and about 2 hours if you're going to interact and read and watch absolutely everything there.Big takeaway for me is the 2 soundproof chambers that have drums in them. Super fun but the drawback is that the seats and setup in general is pretty bad for posture. Otherwise cool room!

Jeremy Case: Middle of the day visit ... really cool experience ...Staff is very friendly and tolerant haha... bathrooms are a little hard to find at first... one could spend a couple hours here at max with a couple little kids ... great parking across the street cost us 28 dollars
Blessed Indeed: Great Father Son date day‼
Xavier Orozco: Small but cool place. Lots of hands on stuff for kids and adults tbh. The areas were also clean, the price/ value was worth the visit. My two year old had a great time and I enjoyed it too.
Jennifer Miles: Neat place. Just wish it was bigger. They have ear plugs or headphones for the sensitive ears.

Trisha Lawless: This was the perfect venue for our small wedding (60 guests). We appreciated the incredible customer service, beautiful and historic location, adaptable venue in the carriage house-style Visitor Center, and we even got to make use of the patio and lawn for our guests. The location, in walking distance of the Mass Ave. shopping and entertainment district, is also a plus.
Shmuel שמואל כץ Katz: Indiana history
Daniel Spieth: Beautiful quaint museum which has all of its original furnishings still present. This is an unique experience. Most of the bedrooms have their own sinks. One of the first bathrooms in Indianapolis was installed here with cherrywood copper tub wall to wall carpeting.

Phillip Hay: Very well done . Staff very helpful and lots of knowledge

Indy's Teeny Statue Of Liberty Museum: what do users think?
Steve Francia: What an incredible place! A one room museum with so much to see of "lady liberty"! Well worth a stop! Make sure to get the 5 min tour from the owner, or you'll miss a lot!
Jeffrey Watson: Nice
Sarah “Foogs” Fugarino: I was looking for something new to check out in Indy, and this popped up on a google search. So today because it hasn’t been raining I thought what better day to get outdoors?Short trip to the near east side of Indy, and attached to a savage shop, I’m a nerd, and got there shortly after opening. I had to kill some time in the savage shop. That place was full of crazy random treasures! I’ll have to go back when I have some cash on me.After the owner of the Statue of Liberty collection arrived he took me next door.It’s a single room, but it’s jam packed with lady liberty.Fun fact since it is a public place, everyone can use it. So many different companies slap her on something and sell it. Budweiser, stamps, tooth brush holder, paintings, a condom..awesome hidden place in Indy, worth checking out! Only 50 cents to get in.
Thomas שמות McEwen: Awesome time with our guide and owner Tim
Erin Wigger: This little museum is a hidden gem. What's really cool about it is that it connects to one of the cutest antique/rustic salvage shops next door. The staff is super sweet. Prices are great. I felt inspired just stepping inside. Worth the visit and cant wait to come back!
Jessica Miller: Adorable one room museum filled with Statue of Liberty items, curated by the shopowners next door. They will give you a personal tour and are very sweet.

NCAA Hall of Champions: what do users think?
Tanner Peacock: If you are looking for 1-2 hours to do something, I think the Hall of Champions is a great way to go!$5 per adult and $3 per child. A lot of fun history and knowledge of various sports in NCAA as well as history of the program itself. On the second floor, a lot of interactive games for the kids and adults to enjoy.

Dave Ross: I really enjoyed the Hall of Champions. There were great informational displays for all NCAA sports and really fun interactive displays. Highly recommended if you are a sports fan! It's not huge, an hour is probably sufficient, but I wouldn't allow any less than that or you'll have to rush through and not have time for the interactive displays. An hour and a half would probably be better. Very reasonable admission prices.

Kirk Brown: The exhibits were interesting and covered all NCAA sports. However, it definitely felt that this breadth came at a huge cost to depth for all sports. Each sorry was just barely covered. Overall, this was rather disappointing. However, the cost relieved this as well, so I didn't feel "cheated" on cost. Just don't go in expecting anything more than basic surface level history.
