This gift won’t fit in a box.

Play is a lot more than just having fun. Play is learning, growing, and discovering. Play is a safe way to experiment—and to fail. Play lets kids explore their place in the world.

At Chicago Children’s Museum, kids can show off their climbing skills (and bravery) on Cloud Buster, design and build contraptions in Tinkering Lab, get messy in the Art Studio, and more.

The gift of play is a blast for the entire family. You can make lasting memories and learn a few things along the way. What other gift offers all that—and more?
