No field trips on Wednesdays.

Per IDPH and CCDPH guidance, while not required, the museum strongly encourages the wearing of masks in order to continue to protect our youngest visitors. As always, if you are not feeling well, please come visit us when you are feeling better.

​Advanced tickets are no longer needed except for special play sessions like Wee Ones Wednesday and our Sensory Friendly Play Session.

WELCOME BACK!

If you are we are so excited to invite you back to the museum, and in doing so have been planning
and organizing to make your visit as safe and fun as possible. 
​
​ A few things to know before visiting:​

• Our hours have been adjusted to allow for additional deep cleaning and sanitizing. 
• ​If you are feeling unwell or running a fever please wait to visit the museum until you are feeling well.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We, at the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn, are committed to reopening with the health and safety of our guests and staff at the forefront.  We have implemented a few changes and  policies that will help protect us all.​

• Additional hand sanitizing stations have been installed in the museum.  Guests and staff are encouraged to sanitize often in addition to washing hands frequently.
• Social distancing is encouraged and some exhibits have a limited capacity of one family at a time
• Some exhibits have been changed to allow for deep cleaning and sanitizing (sand, costumes and plush items have been removed from exhibits).
• Additional bins have been placed around the museum for items that need cleaned. We encourage guests to place small items here when you are done using them.  We will clean them before placing them back out in the exhibit.
