What parents say
My kids love this place but they are starting to grow up a bit and don’t have much for my kids who are 8 now. But my 2 year old daughter absolutely loves this place! I am so glad I decided to keep our membership there for her to enjoy!
You could tell this place was focused on kids from the start. The parking spaces were decorated, the building was in bright colors. Upon going in, there was no wait and it was $9/ per person which for me being from the Chicago land area was unheard of.
An excellent place for the kids to play. There's so much to explore and many areas to do that in. It's really great for all ages. The older two love the creativity lab upstairs while my youngest can spend hours in the "city area" downstairs. They have weekly activities, and lessons!
What a fun place! My kids all love it, ranging in ages from 2-8 years old. You could easily spend a full day here. Your kids can play in the bakery, at the fire station, or in the grocery store! There's an indoor slide and a giant water play area.
Bringing a toddler?
Reviews and the venue's own info mention a dedicated toddler area or toddler times at Family Museum — a separate space where little ones can play without dodging big kids.
