Future Palentologists

On the lowest level of the Indy Children's Museum is the Dinoshpere. The kids absolutely LOVED it! Mom and I enjoyed it too, it's my favorite level of the museum. They attempt to recreate a day in the dinosphere complete with sounds, lights, and smells. The smell is magnolia, and it smells really good.


Kyle was pretending to be a mean dinosaur.


They have a lot of dinosaur exhibits. One of Reeve's favorites is the SuperCroc, found by Paul Serreno (Reeve's favorite Palentologist... based out of Chicago).
The kids also loved the excavation site. It's a recreation of an actual dinosaur found by a family in Montana.


They also have a real Palentology Lab where they work on cleaning real dinosaur bones.

Reeve loved it so much he talked softie Mom into buying him his own dinosaur excavation kit. There are fake T-Rex bones in the plaster for Reeve to carefully excavate. It's a very messy project! (Sorry about the mess in the basement Mom & Dad).
