If you have children, you might want to party earlier in the evening to ensure that young ones get to bed at a decent hour. That’s where Family New Year’s Eve at the Indiana State Museum comes in. The festivities start at 6 p.m. and continue through 9 p.m. Activities include magician demonstrations, dancing, music, and face painting. The highlight of this event is the 8 p.m. New Year countdown in the Great Hall, complete with a balloon drop.
Countdown to Noon
For an even earlier family-friendly celebration, attend the Countdown to Noon event at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Create a paper time capsule and enjoy some party favors with your children. Then listen to music from Grammy-nominated Zak Morgan right before the noon and 1 p.m. countdowns.
Prefer to party in the new year out of state? Consider attending one of these hooplas in Ohio — or one of these shindigs in Illinois.
