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. 💙
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
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
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
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 !
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
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" 😁
@@RallyeGuy340 Hey, yes! I do live in Auburn! (Forgot to mention that 😅) That's cool you've been to the car auctions! I've only been to a couple events there
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
I can finally say that I have been to a place that you have been in your videos. It really is a fantastic museum to go to! Definitely have some of my fondest memories of visiting that place when I was a kid.
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
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 RU-vidrs I follow. Keep up the great work.
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.
Yes I forgot to say; "Thank you so much Jacob" so I'll say it. Jacob, you're one of my favorite youtuber of the world and I thank you for making my day awesome! And yes I do live in Indiana and it's a nice place. I also travel to other states too.
You are in my city! I live about 3 minutes from the children’s museum! We love it and the outdoor sports area is so much fun. Gotta climb to the top of the treehouse!
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.
Chilly McStuffins (the snowman) is from a Disney Jr. show, Doc McStuffins! My daughter watched it when she was little! She also watched Dinosaur Train! 😊Love your videos, been watching for years!
My home state! I grew up in Highland, but I now live in the Lafayette/Dayton area! Right across from Shannon Hoon’s gravesite and the Rock City barn!!!
Benjamin Harrison did facilitate the national forest reserves..... but about being the 'hoosier' president, it just means he was an unskilled native of Indiana, lol... sounds about right!! Amazing video, as always!!👍👍
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.
Jacob, Enjoyed the Indianapolis children's museum, been there many times. You did a fantastic job at making the video. Enjoy Valparaiso, and visiting with your mother. Not far from South Bend, my neck of the state.
My mom used to bring my sister and I down from Michigan to visit our family when we were little and we always went here. The giant water clock is what I remember the most from there along with a wall of faces near the Planetarium. It was one of my absolute favorite places to visit when I was younger and I'd love to go back sometime; it's been a couple decades.
The only other place you'd been to was the niles scream park which is where I volunteer. You should come back in 2023 it's their 50th anniversary! 2nd oldest haunted house in the country!
Bengi was trained by Frank Inn, who was from Mooresville Indiana. Frank Inn trained many animals for movies and tv, Arnold the pig was also trained by him, Arnold was born on a farm in my small Indiana town of Monrovia.😀
I live in Indy !!! And that children museum is my favorite place ever !!! The doll houses are my favorite part !!! You should come back and visit Connor Prairie such a fun place ! Then of course our zoo is fun we are getting a few new things added there !
I adored Benji, was my favorite movie growing up in the 70s. I had the record soundtrack,Charlie Rich did Benji’s theme song “I Feel Love” I also had the stuffed toy dog too😁
