Fun Events for Toddlers near Indy

[BrockStrader22]

I'm fairly new to the area and still pretty far from Indy, my buddy is having a Bday party for his 1 and 3 year old. I have 2 small kids and know that eventually toys just start piling up and taking up space so I'm wanting to get them a gift card to an experience or something. Still too young to shoot although I wouldn't put it past him to have the 3 year old shooting a .22 by now, any ideas of something I can get them?

Thanks

The zoo or children's museum is always fun, too.

Things in that front have slowed down since Jared left.

I've got some yard work that needs done.

What time are you in town?

I'm sure there is a drag queen story hour scheduled somewhere.

We take the kids to the zoo for my boys birthday every year, it’s a good time and they’re almost guaranteed to be worn out when you get done, and if they aren’t there’s always Bigred’s offer

Edit, forgot to mention, check out some of the splash parks in the doughnut counties, my wife has taken our kids to the plainfield one and they say it’s great. I haven’t personally been because, well, to many kids that aren’t mine!

What part of town/what area near Indy does your friend live in? Then we can give some rather specific ideas that will be easy on travel with a 1 & 3 year old, especially given current gas prices. Some great suggestions above as well (including zoo and the various water parks).

Ah, in that case, there is the Plainfield Aquatic park: https://www.splashislandplainfield.com/

The new Murphy Aquatic Park in Avon which just opened in May: https://www.washingtontwpparks.org/murphy-park.html

Let me see what else I can come up with (been a couple of decades since my kids were that age)

Never been there but this showed up in the Visit Hendricks County guide and has a toddler area, and is in Brownsburg: https://kidsplanetfun.com/

thanks everyone, I'm either going to go with the kids planet or the smiley center depending on what he says is better for them. Apparently all the good places require you to buy their non slip socks haha

We took our kids to the kids planet, they had a good time, lots of things to climb. Bring ear plugs
