Families flock to the heated Discovery Station and Craft Corner, an expansive indoor play universe where toddlers and young children can build giant foam structures, put on whimsical puppet shows, dress up in vintage historic garb, and curl up with storybooks. Next door, the Create.Connect gallery engages older kids with hands-on STEM challenges inspired by Indiana inventors, including wind tunnel flying experiments, electrical circuitry stations, and marble run physics tracks. On crisp sunny winter days, families can bundle up to take peaceful scenic walks along paved paths overlooking the frozen White River before heading back inside for hot cider and bakery treats at the cafe.
