Shedd Aquarium

Chicago Children's Museum at Navy Pier

700 E. Grand Ave., Chicago, IL 60611

Galleries

We believe in the power of play.

Hands-on exhibits and daily-changing activities make every visit unique for young children and adults, too. Dig deep into the Dinosaur Expedition, try to stay dry in WaterWays, make a masterpiece in the KraftArtabounds Studio, and climb up to the crow's nest on the Kovler Family Climbing Schooner. Toddlers can have fun in Kids Town and Treehouse Trails.
