A Special Note:From President & CEO, Sarah Cole

It’s that time of year again and GCM has celebrations old and new! We’re on Cloud 9 this September, getting spooky all October, celebrating traditions in November, and closing out the year with a festive December!

We have big changes to share! Have you visited the new elements in Water’s Journey and Forts? From water processing to new furniture and props, this area is refreshed and ready for play. And you can’t miss the completely remodeled St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Featuring the UnMonsters™, reopening September 16. We’re also thrilled to announce our upcoming traveling exhibit. No job is too big! No pup is too small! Opening February 15, its PAW Patrol: Adventure Play. This brand new exhibit from the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis and Nickelodeon will let your little learners help save the day through teamwork and creativity. Stay tuned for special events and programs this Spring!

See you at the Museum!
