The Chicago Children's Museum, located on Navy Pier, houses fifteen permanent exhibits and serves more than 500,000 visitors annually. There are a variety of activities and you can even host a birthday party at the Museum.
The Chicago Children's Museum was founded in 1982 by a coalition led by The Junior League of Chicago in response to program cutbacks in the Chicago Public Schools. The museum opened in two hallways of the Chicago Public Library. In response to capacity crowds on-site, the Museum developed trunk shows and exhibits which traveled to schools, branch libraries, and neighborhood centers. The Museum was relocated a couple times, then in 1995 it moved to its current home on Navy Pier. The facility is 57,000 square feet and includes three floors of engaging and educational exhibits.
At the Museum Store, you'll find unique educational toys, gadgets, and Museum logo merchandise.
