Kohl Children's Museum
Kohl Children's Museum
If you're visiting Chicago in the near future, make the Kohl Children's Museum a stop along the way. There is a lot to keep not only the younger set busy and entertained but the big kids at heart will enjoy this venue too.
The Museum wanted to create a place where children, especially underprivileged children, could learn in a fun, hands-on, and educational environment. Diversity of people, places and things is celebrated at this museum and its success in reaching so many children and enriching young lives speaks for itself.
The Kohl Children's Museum was founded on the belief that young children learn best through play and then they took it a step further and developed a good number of exhibits that have creative, interactive play that involves children and adults, so they can learn together and it also develops good relationships. Furthermore, all of this was developed in an environment that is both fun and challenging to children.
Hours of operation at Monday 9:30 a.m. - 12 p.m.;9:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. (June-August)
Tuesday-Saturday 9:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Sunday 12-5 p.m. and Members Only 9-9:30 a.m.
Admission Prices are very reasonable with Children Under 1 admitted for free. Adults and Children $6.50 each and Grandparents and Seniors (55 and older) $5.50 each.
Some of the exhibits you will see include making geometric gems - a fun hands-on activity where kids make their own wood, plastic and/or cardboard gems and learn about angles and facets. Another fun activity is the many times a week art classes where children are encouraged to create. There is always something fun going on, bring your family and get ready to learn something and have a great time doing it!
