Family fun abounds in Chicago, with action packed adventures in various urban settings. Stalk the wild beasts at the Lincoln Park Zoo, get lost in a virtual maze at the Navy Pier, or unearth dinosaur bones at the Chicago Children's Museum.
Explore the savannahs and listen for the lion's roar in the urban oasis of Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo. Hear the call of tropical birds as you trek through a rain forest, or let your child chug along in the zoo's pint-sized express train. Filled with animals from far-flung regions of the world, this quintessential Chicago experience allows children to see chimpanzees swing from trees and sea lions swish through the water. The zoo combines conservation with carousel rides on its intricately carved and hand-painted endangered animal carousel. Sleep under the skyscraper with family campouts for kids aged 5 to 12, guaranteed to create memories for a lifetime.
Delve into the 4,000 square foot virtual maze at the Navy Pier and discover dozens of surprise-filled twists and turns. Tower above the water on a 150 foot Ferris Wheel or challenge your child to a game of mini golf along the water. You can put your child in the driver's seat with the Navy Pier's remote control boats and visit endless other attractions at the pier park.
Connect your budding archaeologist with the chance to dig for dinosaur bones at Chicago Children's Museum. Children pretend to pilot a schooner as they climb through one of the museum's play model ships, or kids can mount an adventure in the trees when they climb interactive tree houses. Unleash your child's inner Picasso with create-your-own artwork stations. Or wear out the little ones at one of the crawl-through play areas targeted to children under 5. The Children's Museum offers fun for the whole family all under one roof.
