Leave a Lasting ImpactFor more than 15 years, the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn has welcomed families through our doors. These parents and caregivers understand that play is not frivolous. It is brain building. Play leads to changes at the molecular, cellular and behavioral levels that promote learning and adaptive and/or pro-social behavior. Play is also fun and engaging. It is a way to communicate with our children. Ask any adult what they remember about playing as a child and they'll take you back to a time where they had a meaningful play experience. Those fond memories we have of play as a child are so cherished. Below are a few ways that you can help ensure the long-term stability of the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn. Let us know how we can help you.
