A Childs Paradise at the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn

The Children's Museum, 9600 E Shore Dr, Oak Lawn, IL 60453-2911 in the new shops in "Downtown Oak Lawn" next to the metra train station is a child's dream come true and an answer to a parents prayers! I recently checked it out with my daughter, her BFF,(best friend for life)and her Mom, my BFF, and we had a great time! We paid the "non-member" fee of $6 per person and it was beyond worth it! The first floor is filled with activities geared for younger children but our girls found plenty to do and enjoy for a while. We then moved upstairs and that's when the fun really began. My friend and I sunk down into a big comfy leather couch and caught up on news and solved the problems of the world while our little angels had the run of the place. They moved from the mini veterinarian office to the grocery store to the dress up theatre and everything in between. We were there for 3 hours and we never even made it over to the arts and crafts area and they barely played in the tree house and camp grounds not to mention the tool and workshop that was still, "under construction" no pun intended. This will definitely become a regular stop in our repertoire of places to go, especially this winter. They also have private party space for birthdays etc.. Go online, call or stop by for more info. What a super place!(708) 423-6709 Children's Museum of Oak Lawn
