Heat prompts Children’s Museum of Indianapolis to cancel outdoor activities
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — This week’s heat wave has prompted the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis to cancel outdoor activities.
The Riley Children’s Health Outdoor Sports Experience will be closed Tuesday – Thursday. Museum officials will decide later this week whether to extend the closure through Friday.
A heat advisory is in effect Tuesday. A daytime high of 90 degrees combined with high humidity will push the heat index into the triple digits — and things are only expected to get hotter on Wednesday and Thursday, says Storm Track 8 meteorologist Marcus Bailey.
Indy Parks has opened 13 family centers as cooling centers and the city’s splash pads remain open for anyone wanting to cool off.
