Chicago Children's Museum, {CATEGORY}
Located on tourist-filled Navy Pier, this museum is one of the most popular family attractions in the city. The building has areas especially for preschoolers as well as for children up to age 10, and several permanent exhibits allow kids a maximum of hands-on fun. Dinosaur Expedition re-creates an expedition to the Sahara, allowing kids to experience camp life, conduct scientific research, and dig for the bones of Suchomimus, a Saharan dinosaur discovered by Chicago paleontologist Paul Sereno (a full-scale model stands nearby). There's also a three-level schooner that children can board for a little climbing, from the crow's nest to the gangplank, PlayMaze, a toddler-scale cityscape with everything from a gas station to a city bus that children under 5 can touch and explore, and an arts-and-crafts area where visitors can create original artwork to take home. Allow 2 to 3 hours.
