A Visit to Children's Museum in Oak Lawn

A few weeks ago we made a trip to the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn. We visited here last year and Nehemiah really enjoyed it even as 1.5 year old. I have been to many of the children's museums in the area and I really enjoy this one. It isn't that we didn't enjoy the others but this one is more compact. Some say bigger is better, they obviously have never chased around a toddler. This location is nice sized, I wouldn't say small, they do a great job utilizing their space. On the first floor they have great tracks for golf balls. A great place to show little ones physics. Also they have a small water table, sand table, police car (with police uniforms the kids can try on), and more. Upstairs they have an art area, woodshop (where you can actually build things), grocery store, vet, ambulance, fire truck, treehouse, stage with tons of costumes and props, and more. I am sad we didn't get any pictures. I can't even find pictures from our previous visit. :(

We usually do things right in the morning. Both times we have been here we have beat the crowds. I really felt comfortable letting Nehemiah roam around and we could easily keep track of him. I highly recommend The Children's Museum in Oak Lawn.

We bought our tickets through Groupon. We paid $14 for 4 admissions.

The museum is right next to the Metra. We considered doing the train because the kid is really into that kind of stuff right now but the weekend schedule isn't great. They do offer free parking (I know that is normal in the 'burbs but a bonus in the city).
