First-Ever ‘Mickey Mouse Clubhouse’ Museum Exhibit Opens in Indianapolis

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis has brought the characters and stories from Disney Jr.’s animated preschool favorite Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to life at the first-ever museum exhibit inspired by the Emmy Award-winning series. The event runs from Feb. 22 to Sept. 1, 2025 in Indianapolis before travelling to other museums across the country through 2029.

The exhibit invites visitors to go on an exciting adventure with Mickey as he has a special request: help get everything ready for Pluto’s big surprise birthday! With the clock ticking, families will need to band together and use their skills and creativity to lend a helping hand to Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Professor Von Drake.

Imaginative play and digital activities include:

• Bake and Decorate with Minnie: Assist Minnie by decorating pretend cupcakes using a whimsical frosting machine and putting the candles on Pluto’s birthday cake.
• Invent with Donald and Professor Von Drake: Help Donald Duck and Professor Von Drake put together a special bubble-making invention for the party.
• Craft and Paint with Daisy: Join Daisy Duck in helping make Pluto’s day extra special with playful recreations of painting Pluto’s doghouse, making a birthday blanket, and arranging flower bouquets.
• Grill and Play with Goofy: Help Goofy pretend to grill hot dogs, distract Pluto with a game of fetch, and sing to vegetable plants to perk them up.

As the party preparations come to an end, families can get loud together when they practice shouting “Surprise!” with Mickey. When Pluto arrives, everyone will join in the grand reveal and celebrate with the iconic Hot Dog Dance.

This dynamic interactive experience is designed to enhance physical, cognitive and social-emotional skills through hands-on and digital activities. The inclusive, accessible spaces encourage imaginative play, communication, collaboration and participation. Visitors will engage in creative problem-solving, counting, understanding sequences, practicing empathy and enjoying music and rhythm. Fan-favorite elements from the Disney Jr. series include the beloved Toodles and Handy Helper. They will help guide and assist visitors throughout the experience.

(Note: Costume characters seen in the grand opening photos are not part of the exhibit.)
