Children's Museum of Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN - Rolling Ball Sculpture on Waymarking.com

This rolling ball machine is located on the 4th floor of the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, outside the Scienceworks exhibit. It is approximately 6 feet tall, 10 feet long, and 4 feet deep. It uses numerous pool balls, and is powered by hand cranks, which children crank nearly non-stop. It has bells and chimes, and multiple tracks with automatic track-switches.

Admission times and prices are listed on the museum's website.

Personal note: I have been fascinated by rolling ball machines and "marble tracks" since I was a young boy (a long time ago). I've actually built a number of smaller rolling ball sculptures out of wood.
