General Info
The Chicago Children’s Museum is the ultimate birthday party venue including all-day admission to all three floors plus exclusive use of the birthday party room for two hours. For frequent visitors, Family Memberships are $65.00 a year and include free admission for two adults and all children in the household under 16 years old, discounts on children’s birthday parties, discounts in the Children’s Museum Store and a 35% discount sticker for parking.
The Chicago Children’s Museum is permanently housed in the enormously popular Navy Pier attraction on beautiful Lake Michigan. The Pier’s design was based on the concept of Faneuil Hall in Boston and Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. The Museum is housed on three levels and the top floor, a major exhibit area, reveals a stunning Westerly view of Downtown Chicago. Just outside the Museum on the ground level is a fabulous array of vendors selling all kinds of unique and upscale arts and crafts and a small city of restaurants and food vendors appealing to almost every appetite.
The Perfect Choice For: Special events such as a birthday or special reward, a special get-away for you and the children, school trips, or just a plain good time
Note: Exhibits will change without notice.
