Well according to meteorologists {and the farmer’s almanac}, it’s due to be a beautiful weekend in Indy. As in 80-degree days and plenty of sunshine. So in case you aren’t already devoting the time to eeeeking out the last quality time with your swimsuit, we’ve tracked down 5 fun to-dos to look into.
Here’s a roundup of the top 5 events to check out this weekend…
Adults are welcome After Dark at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis
September 23
Experience The Children’s Museum, after dark! Their award-winning After Dark event series is exclusively for adults 21 and older and occurs after the museum closes to visitors so it’s perfect for a little parents-night-out opp. Grab a Sun King brew and explore the newly reimagined ScienceWorks exhibit. From our recent visit to this exhibit, blogger A Dad Influence spills what to expect of it.

Hit up a local pumpkin patch
September 24-25
Okay fine, we’ll just say it: Many local pumpkin patches are opening this weekend.
And while that might feel a tad premature, consider it your opportunity to get ahead of the pumpkin-picking game, avoid crowds and get your gourds before the rush.
Of course, that’s not all that’s on tap for fun this weekend. Discover the rest at the Indy’s Child Calendar of Events!
