What parents say
Wednesday’s is a free day from 12:30-2:30 pm. Only 40 guests are allowed parents and children included. First time here and very clean and spacious place with lots to do for every age. No food or drinks are allowed but they do have cubbies to store any purses/diaperbags.
This was the perfect place for a 2,3 and 4 year old. Just the right size place to keep your eyes on your children at all times. Lots of play actives. The best place for its price as well. Unlike the over priced Kohl’s Museum, which is too spread out and always too crowded.
We had such a wonderful time at the Round Lake Park District’s children’s museum! It’s the perfect size for little ones—not overwhelming but still packed with fun activities. Ricki at the front desk was very informative, fun, and helpful during our experience.
A Wonderful Experience at the Children’s neighbourhood Museum My kiddos had an absolute blast! The museum is a very nice place, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. We will definitely be going back!
