Kid-friendly activities in chicago
Chicago is one of the largest cities in the United States and has a gamut of things to do for people of all ages. As busy parents, it is so hard to come up with creative ways to engage our children. Here is a one stop shop for some kid-friendly activities in Chicago.
Spend some time at Chicago Botanic Garden
Chicago Botanic Garden includes 27 incredible gardens that are spread over 385 acres. Your children will love the Nature Play Garden, the learning center, or the esplanade where they can run around in the grass. The Chicago Botanic Garden is also toddler friendly with its arched bridges in the Japanese garden.
Spend some time with your children at Gallagher WAY
This is one of the top tourist destinations for children in Chicago. You can find ice skating, arts and crafts, and movie streamings. Bring your family here for fun year round!
Head on over to the Centennial Wheel at Navy Pier
This destination is an iconic treasured piece of Chicagos cultural history. Soaring to heights of nearly 200 feet, the Wheel offers visitors unparalleled, 360-degree views of Chicago and Lake Michigan. No matter the season, the enclosed gondolas provide a comfortable experience and miraculous city views.
Next stop, Chicago Children’s Museum!
This museum is perfect for your children under 10. This is a perfect destination to flourish an interest in science and history. The kids can spend an exciting day playing and learning through tinkering, DIY projects and going on special expeditions to dig up bones and learn more about dinosaurs. I have to say - I think adults may have more fun than their children here!
