How Can I Know that a Trip to the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn is Educational?
From the time the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn opened in 2003, the museum has engaged educators to ensure that our exhibit ideas aligned with what children were learning in the classroom. Our current Educational Advisory Board is working to make sure that our exhibits continue to meet many of the current learning standards. These standards can be found on the our Exhibits Page as a downloadable file with each exhibit. This is still a work in progress, but our Educational Advisory Board has most of them completed.
