What to wear to Museum by Moonlight

It will be a party for the ages – well, ages 21 and over, that is!  On Saturday, February 10, 2018, from 8 p.m.-midnight, just days before the holiday of love, adults who are young at heart, will have five full floors of interactive fun in which to play, laugh, learn, eat, drink, and dance to the beat of several genres of music to celebrate Museum by Moonlight® at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.

The Children’s Museum’s annual event “Museum by Moonlight” affords itself to all kinds of entertainment; it has a cocktail-hour vibe but adults are encouraged, and even look forward to, going down the Chocolate slide, crawling around the exhibits and acting like a child again!

That makes attire for the event tough to plan, so MacKenzie Harris, director of marketing for Simon’s Hamilton Town Center, shares some suggestions, while Lindsay Gramlich, Director of Donor Relations, Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, tell us more about the event.
