Traveling Thursday: Indianapolis 2-day Trip



Indianapolis is such a great city to visit with kids. There is a lot for the whole family to enjoy and you can make lots of fun 2-day trips out of the many options.
One Indianapolis trip we like taking for an overnight visit is to Conner Prairie and The Indianapolis Children's Museum. Each place will take several hours to a good part of the day to explore so it is ideal for driving up one morning and coming home the next evening.

While there are many hotels located nearby both attractions, the children's museum has some offers for overnight accommodations. A popular place to stay is the Caribbean Cove Hotel and Waterpark.

Conner Prairie is one of the nation's largest outdoor living history museums. There are five themed areas to explore plus a very nice welcome center with kids' play center. Having younger children, I would have to say their favorite parts were the Indian encampment, animal barn and the indoor kids' play area.

The Indianapolis Children's Museum is the world's largest museum of its kind and a definite must-see attraction if you have kids. My kids loved everything about it and would like to go back as often as possible.
