We were able to go on a free museum day. Kids 3&8 loved the museum. Favorite exhibits were the fire fighters, water and camping areas. It was a little crowded since it was free day, and there temp in the museum was hot (even though it was only 60 outside)

The Chicago Children's Museum is one of the best children's museum we've visited in the world! It's very thoughtful, lots of rooms with creative play, and the tinker room is very well stocked. It's one of the museums that is most generous about all the play items, such as make belief circus room, place to dig for dinosaur bones, and a huge climbing structure. Would highly recommend visiting this for anyone with kids under 6 years old!

If you are visiting Chicago with kids, the museum is an absolute must see. There are 3 levels of hands on fun for the kids. It is located at the Chicago pier. They have everything from climbing structures to building areas and live art workshops. My kids loved the individual rooms for water play, lego and real world exploration. We spent about 5 or 6 hours there, leaving only because we realized we were hungry.

If you plan to go to Navy Pier Chicago, don't miss the Chicago Children's Museum. My son loved it. It has all kinds of activities for children. Prepare to stay there at least 3 hours because children don't want to leave. The museum is inside a mall. The ticket is all day multiple entry. There is a food court outside the museum.
