About this adventure
Located at vibrant Navy Pier, Chicago Children's Museum features three stories of immersive, child-led play and sensory engineering. Kids can climb 37 feet through steel walkways and acrylic tubes on the structural wonder 'Cloud Buster', excavate prehistoric bones in the 'Dinosaur Expedition' dig pit, pump and dam real water currents in 'Water City' (waterproof aprons provided!), and build wooden creations using real hammers and saws in the Tinkering Lab. The museum offers dedicated stroller check and wide stroller parking corrals, private nursing lounges with gliders, accessible family bathrooms on all levels, sensory bags with noise-cancelling headphones at guest services, and convenient access to Navy Pier dining.
