Kids of all ages 2-102+ should love this place. All kinds of different drums to bang on with some nice samples of of display sets. Cowbell? Yes, they have that as well. They have a couple rooms with a drum set that you should definitely check out. You can change the acoustics of the room to get a different sound. Unless you are sensitive to loud sounds, check it out. Well worth the Admission and more. Don't miss the Lego drum set and the set made during WWII when raw materials were rationed.

This place was super cool! I highly recommend going early because the kids and I went when it first opened and we had the place to ourselves. There’s a ton of gongs, bells, shakers, and various other instruments for the kids to try out. Tons! There’s also a few areas which are roped off but the employees explain to you that the museum is interactive except for the roped off areas. There’s interactive screens which tell you about the instruments and two awesome studio spaces you can drum on and change the venue with buttons. Love, love, loved it here and highly recommend it.

Get ready for some noise. They have earbuds for free and earmuffs for little people. My kids had a blast. We definitely went through the whole Museum quickly though. It would be great if they offered headache medicine for the parents lol. Bathrooms were clean and they have water fountain. Drinks aren't allowed which is understandable but with little people extremely hard. Not much staff walking around. Had to go look for someone a couple times.

Overall pretty interesting place if you like drums, gives you an overall look into the ancient history of percussion and some recent history too. Be prepared to spend about an hour if you're not going to read all of the wall information and about 2 hours if you're going to interact and read and watch absolutely everything there. Big takeaway for me is the 2 soundproof chambers that have drums in them. Super fun but the drawback is that the seats and setup in general is pretty bad for posture. Otherwise cool room!

Visited Indy so many times and didn't realize this place existed. I started drumming a couple of years ago, but whether a beginner, expert or someone who never played before in their life, this place is a great way to spend an hour or two. Pretty much anything you can hit to make a sound (including giant cymbals, wood blocks and more) as well as classic drum kits (and even one made out of Lego) are here. And much of it you can have a.go on!

I was very fascinated by the different drums and xylophones.. It's a very large circle with instruments you can play and some just for show. It was an easy self guided tour. I would love to come back the next time I am in Indy.

It was raining on a Saturday morning, so I decided to take my 4 yr old son to Rhythm! I couldn't have made a better choice. This little enclave of drum heaven is truly a gem. Amidst the hustle & bustle of the mall area, this place is located in the same building as Panera, but has its own unique walkway to reach the center. First and foremost, the staff was courteous from the moment we walked in. The center is designed in a way that leads you around a circle in order to explore the various drum-related activities. Due to this factor, you never feel cramped even though the center is not that large in size. There are more drums located within those walls than I had ever seen in my life, and my son had an amazing time playing the different instruments. Rhythym! provides kids with a safe and creative space to enjoy music.

Loved this place! Went on a Monday early afternoon. Very few people there. Lots of wonderful interactive displays and an activities. The 4 year old has a great time!
