Make the Museum of Miniature Houses your first stop on East Main Street. Its small-scale houses and room boxes reward a close look, and the museum offers a treasure hunt that gives children something specific to find. Check the museum’s visiting information before building the afternoon around it.
Continue your outing with a browse at Silver in the City on West Main Street, where the selection ranges from jewelry to housewares and gifts. Bub’s Burgers & Ice Cream provides another Main Street stop near the Monon, so you can combine a meal with a look around the district.
The city’s Experience pages describe the Arts & Design District alongside Midtown and City Center. Use that overview to choose additional stops if you have more time, rather than trying to cover every district in one visit.
