Chicago Children's Museum

Chicago Children’s Museum is the place where play and learning connect! Located on historic Navy Pier, the museum’s three floors of interactive exhibits and daily programs make math, science, reading, the arts, and the city’s vibrant cultures come alive for kids through age 10 and their families.

At CCM, visitors can build a dam in WaterWays, create a flying machine in Inventing Lab, design a skyscraper for the city’s Skyline, dig for fossils in a Dinosaur Expedition, get messy in daily Kraft Artabounds Studio workshops, Play It Safe in a realistic firehouse, and more.
