DuPage Children's Museum

This place is really cool because it is the only museum I know of that has exhibits and activities for toddlers! There are so many different things here for kids to do. It is a place that keeps children up to the age of ten occupied for hours at a time. There are many cool exhibits here that are both interactive and fun. It gets pretty crowded here on the weekends, but the place is big enough to hold a bunch of people so don't let that stop you! more

We have visited this museum several times, and my children LOVE it! The staff is friendly, there is a private room for nursing mothers, and they have hand sanitizer and diaper wipes available almost everywhere, which is a must in a place where hundreds of children pass though. I highly recommend this place! more

This museum has great exhibits that keep the little ones busy for hours. It's best for kids three and up, but there are activities for younger children as well, including babies. Admission price is reasonabe, but I wish they didn't charge the adults as well as the kids. They get very crowded at peak times, and parking is sometimes an issue (I've ended up a couple blocks away on the street a couple of times). Everything appears clean and safe. more

This is a great place to take your kids, because the exhibits are fun and educational. They feature a large area for bubbles, where a child can have a life-sized bubble wrap around them, to an expansive water play area, to a wind-tunnel where the child can pick up a ribbon and watch it blow around. It is a nice-sized place, but not so large that you feel as though you would get lost either. With an admission price around seven dollars a person, it is way more fun than a movie or trip to the park. more

First of all, I really think this place charges an awful lot for admission. It seems unreasonable to expect families to dole out a small fortune for an outing. I guess, because of the cost, I expected really big BIG things. So, I ended up feeling a bit disappointed. There are a lot of neat exhibits. I highly recommend if you are taking more than one child that you have at least two adults with you. It's really crazy in there and it'd be easy to lose a kid. I think my favorite exhibit was the water exhibit. Beware they can get wet! I think part of what bothered me is that there really are many things to look at and explore but it would take a long, long time to wait in line and then take your time to enjoy everything. I think it's worth checking out and if it's in your budget, go for it. more

We have enjoyed taking our toddler-aged twins to this museum for kids. There are so many things for them to see and explore! There also a great relaxed atmosphere which allows kids to really express themselves. There is a great section specifically for toddlers that occupied our girls for hours. It is pricey if you are not a member. more
