Closing time at the Children’s Museum

Rex stands at the top floor of the museum. He has a big, rainbow colored belly & he knows how to move it. He has a big tail that he knows how to wiggles when he walks.

Rex, with wholly, unfettered joy, starts off the Mascot Parade at the Children’s Museum. Children follow Rex the Dinosaur round and round, down the 4 story ramp.

The Mascot Parade at the Children’s Museum

Children beg their parents to go to the Rex Parade at the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis. Colored flags are shared, hops and skips are practiced. It’s fun to follow and mimic Rex. The children finesse their hops, skips and flag waving. The parade meanders down the 4 story ramp that spirals down to the first floor, through the entryway (or exitway) and out the door.

The parade is an exuberant blast of fun. It is also a way to close down the museum for the night. The Rex mascot parade is a daily event – yes. It is also a fun, efficient and kind way to close down the museum.

Rex Rules!
