Some children's museums are focused on elementary age kids and don't have much for a 2 year old. Here, that's the target audience! We had a great time with all the other small kids pushing tiny shopping carts filled with plastic foods. Plus, the excellent use of clear ducts and colorful scarves. A good day was had by all.

Staff was friendly, place was nice and clean. Staff interacted with my nephew and played with him which was really nice of them to do. Highly recommend.

This was an amazing experience. I highly recommend. The price seems steep but there is so much to do on the 2nd level.

Thank you for asking. We don't usually have any free days, but sometimes we'll offer a $5 admission day. Also, if you purchase the CLIMB membership from us, you can play for free at five other Chicago area children's museums plus get in to other children's museum throughout the country for half price.

My Children loooove this place.. How has Children's museum kept visitors and children safe during this pandemic. I've been wanting to take my kids for normalcy time and just to feel a little free but I am too nervous.

We went earlier today. They have removed or changed up some of the attractions to be more conscious of the times. They have also limited numbers of guests. They do have workers walking around with sanitizing spray cleaning high touch areas. There are still a lot of things to touch and it depends on your kids and your level of caution. Definitely a personal decision!

Under 12 months is free but if you have to pay for your child it is worth it. Museum is a lot of fun with many interesting things to do for all young ages.

If u have a year pass from Chicago Children’s museum at navy pier can u use it here?

nancy cruz | Oct 1, 2018
Children's Museum in Oak Lawn | Oct 1, 2018

If the membership you have is an ACM reciprocal membership, you can use the membership to get into any Reciprocal Network Partner Museum at half price (up to six people). Be sure to ask the Chicago Children's Museum about your membership benefits to see if your membership includes that particular benefit. We do sell a CLIMB Membership at the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn. This is a partnership with other suburban museums where you can get free access to these other museums. More information on that membership can be found at https://www.cmoaklawn.org/family-memberships.html. We are an ACM reciprocal network partner so purchasing a CLIMB membership with us would get you 50% off at other Reciprocal Network Partner Museums, as well.

I have the climb membership for Frankfort kids museum so I get in for free. My husband is at work and has the membership card , could they look us up when I got there somehow ??

Each Children's Museum in the CLIMB Partnership is it's own organization, meaning we aren't operationally affiliated with one another. While we are all Children's Museums, we are all independent nonprofit organizations. All of us have our own operations and own membership systems. None of the six museums have access to the membership systems at the other five. Think of it like grocery stores, while you have 3-5 different chains of stores that you can probably name, they are all independent of one another. Children's Museum's are the same way. We are all Children's Museums, but we aren't part of a chain. We are all independent nonprofit organizations. The CLIMB partnership is a voluntary, reciprocal program that each of our institutions participate in to give each of our member families the opportunity to visit other museums. As long as you have your photo ID and CLIMB membership card, you will have no trouble with access to any of the partner museums. Hope to see you soon!
