I used to work in the Children’s Museum as a designer so this one was a little sentimental for me! Love what you do. Never stop exploring!

[@TheCarpetbagger]

It’s a wonderfully designed museum

[@SpellboundWolf]

Welcome! This is the largest Children's Museum in the whole world! My sister lives a couple of blocks away from here. This is 1 of my favorite places ever & have been visiting since I was born (1988). I was watching your Omega Mart vlog a moment ago. That place reminded me of The Children's Museum. I'm so happy you visited it. Everyone must go here. It's maaaagical! The Indianapolis Museum of Art is also incredibly lovely. I wouldn't recommend recording there though. It's more of a traditional, quiet walk around & take in the work kind of place. 💙

[@theTizsilent]

Welcome to Indianapolis! The children’s museum is pretty cool. I live in Columbus IN, but work in Indy.

[@silverghostcat1924]

Seems to me in this day and age they could make replicas of all the mummies and then give the actual mummies proper burials.

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

That moment you know you're old enough to know that an iPod is now in the museum. God damn it man. I remember I went through so many iPods in my teens 2 got water damaged and one got stolen to this day. I'm like god damn kids have it easy I just love the fact that the train section uses the lights effects. It makes me think a back to the future part 3

[@ValenciaKei]

I too spent my childhood in Indiana. And my teachers always told me the term "hoosier" came from the settlers in Indiana saying "who's here?" when they answered the door. But it sounded like the word hoosier because of their dialect. Probably a myth but I always found that funny

[@padmae1971]

Mine too

[@mitchellhalter4]

Benjamin Harrison didn't really do anything memorable as President. He's most notable as the president sandwiched between Grover Cleveland's two non consecutive terms. He did admit more states (6) to the union during his one term than any other President in history though. Ellis Island was also designated as an official entry point for new immigrants during his term

[@chade.7948]

He’s not even from Indiana! Grew up in Ohio and went to Miami University. It’s weird we even claim him.

[@horseplop9]

I needed me a little carpetbagger Today!

[@kathychoinsky2371]

Benjamin Harrison s vice president Levi Parsons Morton is from my hometown.He accepted the statue of liberty on behalf of America.

[@sirchromiumdowns2015]

That was one of the coolest children's museums I've ever seen.

[@bg199083]

I love when The Carpetbagger goes to museums and haves a great time. Have fun Jake!

YES!!!!! 😃 You're in my state now! This is my favorite museum of all time!!! I live in Auburn north up of Fort Wayne. And I love coming and visiting the CMoI! "Children's Museum of Indianapolis" 😁

We lived in Indy for 20 years. My kids loved the children's museum and we went all the time.

[@DarrinWilliams]

Yay!!! Awesome to see you here in my state Jacob!! Alot of ppl suggested you come to the museum in Indy! One of my fav museums btw😎 Fantastic!! 🔥

[@NormFoss]

The Children's Museum in Indianapolis is a great museum. Thanks for the tour!

[@karasuthedreamer6353]

I live in Indiana and LOVE going to the Indianapolis children’s museum as an adult.

[@Adventureswithdon]

Valpo is 30 minutes from me stop by and say hello my friend just got out of hospital and surgery from a severe oil burn to hand your videos kept me smiling thank you

[@Adventureswithdon]

You should swing threw Michigan city there is so much to do there

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

I have such fond memories of field trips to this museum as a kid. The drive from NW Indiana to Indy always seemed forever. LOL

[@heartbroken_grace]

Facts tho. I went in second grade and we literally stopped at a rest stop on the way 🤣 It was even longer when we went to Conner Prairie in fourth grade tho ngl.

[@Diecastreviews]

My 1st grade teacher helped design the dino exhibit there. Happy to finally see this place featured

[@brevin630]

I used to live relatively close to here when i was a kid about a decade ago. I've always wanted to go back and see what's different, even as an adult. This takes me back.

[@zerxilk8169]

I hope you have a great time with your mom and family.. all the best.

[@gladyskusko2663]

Benji starred in a series of movies. He was also the dog in an old television series called Petticoat Junction. Enjoy yourself while you are with your mother. Please give her a hug for me. She is a wonderful woman. She had you. God Bless Both of you.

[@dr.claudiafinch1088]

I volunteered there for many years and did so in many exhibits. Love the place greatly.

[@melissamurphy1558]

I know it's going to be a great video when you do a museum stop. So many great museum's located all over the US and it is one of my most favorite things to do. Where would we be without learning about the past and seeing collections of great objects of interest. A great museum and another great video Jacob !

[@darkhorse8413]

Omg! The googly eyes in the word "boyhood" had me cracking up so hard!

[@TheLanise]

Love the idea of showing rest areas and welcome centers for future travels so far my favorite is Iowa

[@NathanSpies]

This was my go to museum growing up, even though I live in Louisville

[@rhodi3]

Literally my entire childhood in one video. I used to go here like every week when I was a kid.

[@michellestemm2073]

I'm glad you got to go to the Children's Museum, it's one of my favorite to visit.

[@AnaphylacticKnock]

The Googly eyes on the Indiana sign made me chuckle.

[@logangaley870]

Welcome to Indiana, Jacob! Hope you enjoyed your time in Indianapolis. Me and my family are actually going to the Indianapolis Children's Museum in March.

[@careysharp8340]

Congratulations , if I can give you a price of advice. Pack your own food and drinks . Prices are very high and they allow you to bring in coolers. Enjoy

[@marybmccormick]

So beautiful and amazing and awesome 😎😎😎 had a wonderful time with you today ❣️❣️❣️😘

I'm so glad you went here! I've been wanting this for a long time

[@hittheroadwithsteveandsandee]

Easter weekend we're gonna visit Indianapolis and plan on visiting the museum and see other cool things also. Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@dawnbenchley7237]

Great museum. Loved Star Trek, Star Wars and Indiana Jones. And you're right, Jacob, Jen would love it!

[@stephentebbutt7161]

Hi Jacob, what a great museum for kids, the design outside is brilliant, thank you for your great work. Cheers from South Australia 🇦🇺

[@nicksullivan4994]

I used to go to The Minnesota Children’s Museum a lot, I always had so much Fun There!❤️👍🏻

[@shawnmcinerny3805]

I grew up(and still live, at least for now) in Indianapolis and I used to visit the Children's Museum all the time. A lot has obviously changed since then(I'm 46 years old after all), but I remember the Train and the Carousel. And of course the dinosaurs. I would love to go back and see the toys from the 80's and 90's. I actually had that Donkey Kong plush when I was little! Cool to see it again. Always fun to watch where you go, Jacob. I always pray for safe travels for you and the other KZbinrs I follow. Keep up the great work.

[@Jenee1020]

So happy you finally made it to my hometown! Awesome museum, so many happy childhood memories and wonderful memories with my nieces and great niece at the museum. My niece's family has a family pass and yesterday was my great nephew's first trip, he is 3 months. So glad you made the time.

[@skraegorn7317]

While you’re there please tour the Speedway! It’s amazing!

[@rachelstabler7802]

Welcome to Indiana!

[@gracegalindo1511]

Laughed way harder than I expected to at the Whose ear? joke. 😂 The reason there are so many Julia lunchboxes left in pristine condition is because *no one* bought them. Now a real find would be the metal Star Wars lunchbox with the thermos. Where did I leave that thermos?! Thanks, Jacob!

[@zbcrazy]

I think replicas in museums are best, especially because sooooo many artifacts and mummies are stolen and sold around. Cool replicas are easier than ever with 3D printing, and then real artifacts can still be donated by the proper people as well

[@silverghostcat1924]

Love the statue of Anubis 🖤

[@MissingLinx]

I remember Benji. He was so cute. He also played Mr. Higgins in Petticoat Junction.

[@fancypretzel2610]

I went here on a school field trip many years ago. Towards the end, there was a tornado warning and they made us line up against the brick wall with our hands over our necks crouching down, per protocol

[@susanboatman7913]

How cool the museum has a great display of dinosaurs. Kids love 🦕.

[@flutefanatic221]

Crossroads of America refers to Route 30 which goes from coast to coast and Route 41 from Upper Peninsula MI to FL and they cross in Schererville!

[@thomasackerman5399]

Robbie the Robot definitely is from the 1956 SF classic "The Forbidden Planet". He did have a long movie and TV career afterwards, being recycled for the original Twilight Zone, Ark II, and more. He's also closely related to Lost in Space's B-9 (The Robot) since Robert Kinoshita helped design and build both of them.

[@P00katube]

Years ago, there was an old saying that All Roads Lead To Rome. I guess in this day and age it's now All Road Lead To Indianapolis.

Always remember kids, it's never too late to have a happy childhood, and while growing older is inevitable, growing up is optional.

Good news, the Brontosaurus is once again thought to have actually existed as its own genus separate from apatosaurus

[@pierrelewis6819]

Dinosaur train, that is a real show and also, Batman, is one of my favorite. When it comes to Superman, he's purposely meant to not relate to anyone, but yet he does relate to people, within a way.

[@movingkindaslow]

Robby the Robot is from the film Forbidden Planet (1956).

[@waterhorse5199]

I’ve never experienced a roller coaster of emotions from a movie the way I did with “Beji!” It was such a precious and innocent movie. 😭

The one explanation I have gotten for Hoosier is this: it is a term to describe people of Appalachia that came to Indiana to find work. Being a fellow Hoosier, I can accept this definition.

so many Trekkies died when you confused the Star Wars figures for Star Trek lol

[@dragonosx]

This museum is awesome. The dinosphere's sky changes from sunrise to sunset over a couple minutes and makes it really atmospheric. When I went years ago a private collector had some of their dinosaur art collection on display and it was really cool, some of them were the original paintings of art I had admired in dinosaur books since I was a kid. Love the big dino statues around the building too.
