Chicago Children's Museum

Last Saturday we didn’t have any plans and it was supposed to be a pretty nice day. I had purchased a Groupon for the Chicago Children’s Museum that was going to expire soon. We decided to pack up the kids and head out to Navy Pier to visit the museum. We definitely picked the wrong day to hit the city. It was crowded everywhere. Navy Pier was also ridiculous! Apparently, there was also a US Final Cheer Competition taking place there that day too. There were thousands of little girls with bright makeup and big bows everywhere! Luckily, as we made our way through Navy Pier and to the Chicago Children’s Museum, it definitely died down. The children’s museum was pretty empty, which was perfect for us! I’ve never been so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect.

Leah and Mason had a great time. There were several fun areas for them to go and explore. Mason really liked the bubble area and Leah loved the “Kid’s Town.” She did not want to leave! We spent about 3 hours at the museum and by then everyone was getting hungry.

It was way too crowded to stay at Navy Pier for lunch so we headed back towards home.  I had another (expiring soon) Groupon for Mago’s in the Promenade so we stopped there for a yummy Mexican lunch!Thanks Groupon for a fun day!
