Loved this place when they were open. Multiple levels of fun, but not so large or hectic that you lose track of your children. Wonderful ice cream store next door. Cant wait for them to reopen!

My kids love going there. Its got a lot of fun and educational things for them to be hands-on with. They have a water table and two sand tables on the first floor. The second floor has a whole lot more to see and do. There is arts and crafts, a childrens grocery store, a solar system exhibit, a medical area kids can pretend to be a paramedic or doctor and more. Itll keep your kids busy for a couple of hours easily.

Nice outdoors place, okay for canoe and fishing.

My children LOVE this place and so do I! It is so much fun. So many activities its so cutely designed. The staff keeps everything very clean, sanitized and safe. I was impressed how often I saw them sanitizing things kids put in their mouths.

Brought my 7 year old here. He had a blast. Yes, it’s smaller than some of the other children’s museums we’ve been too, but he had a blast.

My son loves this place! It is definitely one of the better museums in the area. The staff is friendly as well and its a great place to spend a winter day when its too cold to go outside. Very educational as well

Amazing children’s museum. We just moved to oak lawn and were pleasantly surprised to have this to go to, especially during winter with our 1.5yr old. The family membership is a great price if your going to go more than 6times in a year. We go here about once a week. Plenty of actives for all ages under 13. A section for under 18month olds in the center 2nd level. Seems they are always improving sections. A nicely stocked gift store. Nice craft area. Decently sized eating area. My only concerns are the need for a family bathroom/ toddler sink/toilet. Also the gate on the 2nd floor to the stairs could be a bit more secure(our toddler loves pushing it open and tries to go down the stairs so we have to watch him very closely). Overall a great place to visit if you’re in the area. Never too busy like at navy pier one or the Kohl’s museum. Parking is free on the 5th floor of the metra parking garage.

My daughter loves going on shopping trips in here they also have an ambulance,fire truck, and police car your child can pay in. Downstairs they have a sand area an aquarium, water area also gravity games (think dropping golf balls down hill type stuff). Upstairs they have a shopping area with functioning scanner and cash register a cow you can milk a large operation game, magnet games, ice cream shop they can play in. a stage with 2 hand puppet areas with all kinds of clothes they can wear. wooden train tracks, a stuffed animal/doctor area, all kinds of good stuff...

Expensive. $9 per person. Lots to do, but designed for small groups. Most activities are for more than one child.

My baby had a blast, it’s a very nice place, pretty interactive, the babies had fun and it’s a pretty cool way to develop their cognitive and motor skills

Its perfect!!!! Better than the big museum downtown. They have lots of realistic activities kids will love. They had a pretend grocery store, costumes for shows, sit in police car, lots of learning activities. Not crowded, free parking, great staff everything was clean and in its place. I would definitely recommend this place I have a five year old and a 10.month old baby and they also had activities for the baby which was awesome! Five stars all the way across.

This is a nice place, convenient to take metra to. It is geared to younger kids up to about age 6. For kids 7 and older, there are a few things geared to them, but not as much. Ice cream shop next door completed the experience for me and my 7 & 1/2 year old.

DO NOT HAVE A PARTY HERE! Very expensive with no host, no help. You have no time to set your party up and enjoy the $350 room. We didn’t even have time to open gifts or sing happy birthday, since we didn’t have enough time to clean we were charged an additional $75 and the place was closing in another 30 minutes. Very dissatisfied and do not recommend anyone to have parties here. The place is nice for kids to come and play but not to host a birthday party, very rushed.

Great indoor place for children. They learn through play. Weekday morning and early afternoons are best. It can be very crowded on holidays and weekends.

The place is interesting. There are many different activities. Both adults and kids can have fun, though of course the place is designed primarily for the little ones.There were several activities which were turned off or disabled, maybe in need of repair. Some of the toys also need replacement, e.g. the ice cream parlor.

This is a great place for kids to have fun i definitely recommend this place

This is a really nice place to let kids lose to explore and have fun. This is their own world. The dress up clothes are a little dated but it is still nice. Some of the information is dated as well.

Great place for kids! I have twin 2 year old girls and they found so much to do that they were upset when we had to leave after over 2 hours! Great for all ages 2-12.

Great place to bring your little ones! Ive been here twice with my kids and both times have been amazing!! The staff has always been very friendly and helpful. Lots of fun and things to do in a compact size. They do have a small eating area for those that bring theyre lunch with them. The time just flies when youre here. Great place to bring your kids to burn off some extra energy. Highly recommend!

Great place to spend a day letting the kids play and explore. Free parking on the top level of the parking garage.

Great way for kids to have fun!! Keeping them occupied while developing cognitive and motor skills!!

I went with my 4 year old son on a school field trip. A nice lady came on the bus beforehand and explained the rules clearly and told us to go have fun. We went in and there was a nice big area to hang our jackets up. There were so many fun activities to do and my son loved every second. The activities were very scientific based which was wonderful because I could actually teach him while we were playing. He really enjoyed this sand topography pit that they had. There was also some water activities. We ventured upstairs and went to this cool art center where there was so many options to do. They also had a dress up section, kitchen, play house, construction, and so much more. We also on our way out bought a bunch of learning toys and some art projects. I think were going to go back and get a family membership because we enjoyed it so much. I definitely could let the kids play there and learn for hours. 100% would recommend! Also, all the employees were very helpful and kind.

Lots of fun stuff to do, and not super crowded. Great place to take the kiddos on a rainy/wintery day.

Enjoyed a day with my grandson there!

Wonderful place for the kids! My son is 1 & theres so many things for him to do.. he loved it!

This place is amazing! So many fun and educational activities for kids of all ages!

Was there for a birthday party and was rushed out before the time was up by management VERY RUDE !!! Not to mention she was standing in front of the doorway just looking into the room while we sang happy birthday we were not even done and she started slamming and throwing kids chairs around complaining about the “mess” we had made. While me and my kids were outside waiting they where told to stop moving the toys around and to stop making a mess, i mean seriously its a kids place what are the expectations of keeping this place clean ? Never again

Took my grandkids, 6 & 2, boys. We had fun going thru the playhouse. A lot of different play areas, dress up, life size building blocks, etc., We stayed for almost 2 hours..

I love it so much, it was very integrating and educating naice places to be in.

We went here for my nephews 2nd birthday party and had the worst experience ever. Felicia came to our room to clean while we were leaving and started throwing things around. We left directly after party ended because of how rude she was. There was another girl cleaning named Sarah and she was very professional unlike Felicia. We will definitely not come back here. I advice everyone not to book a party here unless you want to have it ruined by Felicia. None of the guests stayed to play either after the incident. She literally ran everyone out the whole museum with her attitude.

Been visiting all children museums in the CLIMB membership. Was fun with lots of different activities, but wasnt as clean or organized as some of the others we have visited recently.

This place is great for kids. Its perfect sized and very kid friendly. How ever it dosent seem to be well maintained

Love this place and we just booked our babies birthday party there!

Great neighborhood gem for the little ones. I enjoyed spending time there recently with my granddaughters.

Great for an afternoon with the kids. Lots of social emotional engagement and exploration. Staff are courteous and helpful.

Great place for the kids to explore. They work so hard to keep it clean and safe got the kids

I usually do not write reviews, but I am so diguested and upset at the service I received for my sons birthday party that I need to let everyone who is considering this place to reconsider. I had the guest room for an hour and a half. FELICIA who is the mangement to that place came in the room 5 minutes before my room time was over and started cleaning by throwing chairs and moving tables around while my guests and kids are there. She was so rude that all of my guests left the place talking about how ignorant she was. She kept picking up the little kids chairs and slamming them down the kids tables and rolling her eyes. My guests and I were so upset no one stayed after the party to play in the museum. THIS IS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE FOR BIRTHDAY PARTIES. all of my guests returned the free child guest pass to the front desk on there way out. VERY POOR MANGEMENT! VERY IGNORANT! VERY RUDE.

Although it was a bit cold this place is awesome for small children. Id recommend it to anyone with children under 5.

First time going with my 3 girls and godson. They had a blast from the fishing pond downstairs to the fire truck and hospital upstairs. Something for a child of every age to do amd enjoy. Will definitely be back. If you have an EBT card and Illinois ID...its 3 dollars a person for up to 4 people. Get your little ones in there!!

The kids can always spend several hours here and have a great time. Free parking is nice. Everyone who works here is usually pretty friendly.

Great museum for kids, very small compare to other Kohls Children Museum, they say they do participate to Museum for all program but they are complete scam they charge full price even for the kid. I think they are the only one in US to apply full price other than that its a nice place for kids.

I love this place!! I took my 4 year old kid and he was amazed on all the things he could do and play with, they have everything for each taste, even they have activities for the parents to share with their kids, this two floor place has all you can imagine, also it has a dinning place for lunch time, very clean bathrooms, and it also counts with an elevator. Bring your kids here, they will definitely have a blast!!!

Small perfect place where kids can play and learn at the same time...

Great place to bring the kids to explorer especially if there are not too many people there.

We love it here!

This museum is well done. There are play spaces for all ages. We thought this was better than the Childrens Museum at Navy Pier.

My 2yr old loved the numerous activities they were, and the staff was very nice.

Took my grandson there he had a great time. I loved how they had alot of activity for my 2 year old

Its a good place to take your kids but I think the location couldve been better. For the things they provide it needs a more spacious area. You also need to park in the parking garage behind it and the 5th floor is the one assigned for the museum which is free while the rest of the floors are for the Metra station next to it which you should pay for!

My kids are 9 and 7 and they still like coming here. It is a little run down and could use a little bit of repair and replacement of parts but my kids really like all of the different interactive exhibits. He literally spent four hours here and had to pull the kids away. I wish that they still offered the membership that allowed you to travel to all of the Childrens Museums because we would come here more

This place is pic trauh they dont know how to deal with customers with respect (not all ) im taking about falisha

Great place to go with little ones

This place is ok.. more for little kids! The coloring and paint area was nice but that was all! Wont be back.

Good place for breakfast. Very good stuffed French toast. A little expensive for my budget.

New and exciting place for family fub, educational, adult friendly. And also the staff are on point in child care and they clean up everything behind the kids.... Amazing pricw and disconts for ALL !!! Going again and spreading the word.

First time there and loved it! My child had a blast, hes a sensory child, recommend it for little ones!

Crazy that I didnt know this place existed. I almost want to post a bad review to keep it from getting too crowded ;) they keep it exceptionally clean and there are so many activities. My son had the time of his life.

Parking is just across the street in the Parking garage and free over ther weekends and for weekdays its on the 5th floor.

Best museum in the midwest.

Great place to take your kids!

Brought my son to the museum, he enjoyed playing around in here, but also a great way to teach him/make him think as to the mechanics going on in each game/area.

Its a small museum, compared with dupage childrens museum. Its more like for kids under 7.

Lady that prepared the room for my grand sons bday party was rude.

With 2 levels offering a variety of educational toys and settings it’s perfect for young ones. They have water features, sand, painting, pretend, and building among many other things. I have been there several times and each time it seems the kids really learn something new and explore other parts of the museum.

I took my seven-year-old here with a playdate with another local mom who had a nine-year-old and the kids loved it. I think they had a lot of unique things that I wasnt really expecting to find in a childrens museum. Honestly when I thought Childrens Museum I just thought it was going to be a fancy word for a childrens play area or indoor playground or something like that. And yes it is basically a childs indoor play area but the things that they had were well beyond my expectations. And I think it was really cool that even the simplest things that you didnt think would be that entertaining kept him occupied for a long time LOL. But there are other things that work really cool and the little extra effort they put in for the special effects for the kids, I thought was very creative. I would definitely like to come back here again and it is very affordable. I purchased a Groupon to do something fun for the kids that was inexpensive but even without the Groupon the prices are very reasonable. The kids did not want to leave but the adults get hungry and we wanted to go someplace nice to sit down. If they have food there I am not sure because we did not eat there but overall I think its a great place for kids of all ages. well maybe 10 might be to cut off because I cannot see my 11 year old really having that much fun there. The staff made an effort to really go behind the kids and clean up any mess that was made once the children ransacked it and moved on to the next section. The only thing that was a little weird as the sign says parking is on the top floor of the parking garage but when you get to the top for the parking garage it says Advocate employees only so we wasnt sure we were parking in the right space because those two signs were conflicting. Nothing happened to our car but that would have been helpful to be more clear and understanding if you were in the right area are not to be parking.

A cute and fun place to take small children. Its not as big as most children museums, which is a good thing in my opinion. Your child can have a ball without the huge crowds.

I absolutely love this place. The first time I went to this location was for the Easter egg hunt event for children with special needs. My son loved it and was asking for it afterwards. The staff was extremely patient with the children and even involved with them. I definitely recommend. Hopefully in the future there are more events like this one.

Always love visiting this place. Helpful staff and engaging exhibits. My kids age 3-10 always find things to interest themselves during our frequent visits.

Excited to see some changes here. They have a new topographical sand box that is really interesting.

Very nice for children .

Nice and needs bit clean up but great family place to go over all.

A good place too bring the kids to play and learn . My daughter had a good time.

Great place for toddlers. So much to do.

My kids and I love this place!! They keep it very clean and the staff is great... youll enjoy it!!

Love this place and my kids can go a hundred times and still have a great time playing there. I like that its not humongous like the one in downtown or as crowded.

Great place to bring the kids!! Fun for parents too!

Toddler-sized fun at its best! Our bigger ones had tons of fun as well.

Fun time for kids under 9. Definitely small enough to keep track of your child(ren) while having a nice selection of activities for them to do.

Loved it! First time here, I usually go to the one at Navy peer, but this one is also very nice.

Love this Place of Learning and Great For children with Autism

Great place for the kids to have fun. Your kids get to experience, learn and have fun under one roof. Adults learn too. Tip: Use your ebt card for discount Museum For All participant.

Great place for small children. Spacious. They even have a room for lunch/snacks! You can get in for $3 per person with an Illinois Link Card or WIC folder!

Took the babes here for their bday! They had a blast! Recommend getting here as soon as the doors open, or become a member. They get really busy by 11am! Will definitely be coming back here as much as possible

This place is fun but can get expensive. They should go down on prices or atleast let parents come in for free. Always neat and clean.

I like how there is always workers cleaning the toys and the area. there’s a lot of activities and toys for kids to play

Really great spot to take your kids. So much fun and educational too!

I want to knock off a start just because its kind of a small museum. But I cant. Its too dear to my heart. Kids love it. They have some truly interesting and fun exhibits. It never gets boring. If you live in the area, the membership is well work the money. A great little spot in the South suburbs.

My child LOVES this museum! They have activities for little ones and big kids, so much imaginative play things including an MRI machine and NICU incubator that was donated by a hospital. They have a grocery store, fire truck with firefighter uniforms, a build workshop, paint room, a theater, a cow you can milk, sensory stations, a water table and more! Kids of all ages can enjoy!

Pretty decent place to bring toddler-10yr old. Gets really busy in the mornings when school trips visits otherwise its relatively calm. Son got sick once from putting toy in mouth but that could have been anywhere i guess. 3.5 star.

Nice time. My 2 and a half-year-old daughter had a lot of fun. Take down one star because some of the toys were incomplete and a little destroyed. We will be back there for sure from time to time.

My 2 year old had so much fun. Very friendly staff

Not bad for young kids

Great place to take your kids or grandkids. Its a total learning experience.

Great time except we had a school that the teachers spent most of their time on their phones

Great place for children

Such a fun place with lots of activities for children of all ages! Well be back again.

Visited here for my grandsons third birthday party. Facility is two story with an elevator. Nicely equipped party room, friendly staff, reasonably priced. Well done!

Awesome place for kids.

Great place overall. Some of the things are showing wear and age. I can imagine its hard keeping the exhibits clean, organized and in good repair but they do a pretty good job.

Its a small cozy place good for one time visit. I felt the tickets are expensive for that kind of a place
