A new traveling exhibit is making a stop at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.

Starting Saturday, Jan. 28, families can experience “Dinosaur Train: The Traveling Exhibit,” based on the Jim Henson Company’s popular PBS KIDS TV series.

In this exhibit, you’ll travel back in time to the dinosaur age and join Buddy, the star of the show, on his quest to learn more about topics like dinosaurs, paleontology, and natural history.

The exhibit will be at The Children’s Museum from Saturday, Jan. 28 to Sunday, July 30, 2023, and it’s free with museum admission. You can get tickets in advance online.
