Entertainment for kids in Chicago
Parents looking for a fun but educational day out should head to the Field Museum or the Chicago Children’s Museum, both of which are perfect for inquisitive young minds. For a dose of arts and culture, make a stop at the Chicago Children's Theatre to catch a show or sign the little ones up for the theatre's acting classes and themed drama camps.
Children will love a trip to Lincoln Park to meet the gorillas, polar bears and much more at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Another prime family-friendly spot is the Shedd Aquarium, home more than 30,000 aquatic creatures.
Six Flags Great America makes a great day out for thrill rides and fun, as does the Navy Pier where kids can enjoy endless hours of entertainment. In addition, the beaches of Michigan Lake offer plenty of opportunity for outdoor activities, whether it's building sandcastles, swimming or having a lakeside picnic.
