More than a Museum... a force for early learning

A real gem in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. It has won several awards and it shows. The people who work there are very dedicated and love children. Learning is always in the forefront while having fun or fascinating and exciting experiences. The children learn while engaged in the hundreds of experiences provided in all of the basic learning areas - science, math, art, music, literature, dramatic play, history and even writing!

There's a lot to do here for the little ones. It's hard to believe that so many positive reviews are real but they definitely are in this case. Friendly, clean environment... Highly recommend this place.

Great stimulating child friendly environment. Creativity Galore :)

There are so many cool interactive exhibits at this museum. This place is definitely toddler-friendly and baby-friendly. My curious little guy loved racing around and seeing and playing with everything. His favorite exhibit would probably be the percussion room of drums and strikers. We also loved taking photos of our shadows, playing with puzzles, Awesome Electricity, and so much more.

I have to say we have been to a few children's museums across the country... this one is truly special; the focus on math and science has drawn us to consider membership.

Excellent fun for our 2 year old and 5 month old!! It's so nice to have somewhere to bring BOTH kids!! I would HIGHLY recommend buying the membership, it's well worth it!! - via Facebook

My son and I love DCM. We have a membership and visit often. He especially adores the water and bubble areas, where he can get as messy as he pleases.

In a landscape dotted with three fantastic children's museums - this one, Kohl Children's Museum in Glenview and the Chicago Children's Museum at Navy Pier - plus the city's world-class museum campus offerings, it (DuPage Children's Museum) manages to stand spectacularly out.

At quick glance, you might just see playrooms but there is a method to all the playfulness. Math, Science, Art, Music--constructive play for all the senses, that's a win-win in my parenting handbook.

GREAT place for kids... Amazing hands on activities......and staff are wonderful!

The best children's museum in the Chicago area.

From a parent perspective, we really appreciate having an event for our children that is appropriate and meaningful rather than 'product' driven (2013 members-only Mr. McFeely presentation).  We certainly understand the great importance that experiences play in our children's lives and are grateful to have such incredible places like the DuPage Children's Museum that offer just that.

Our one year old had a great time. We thought he may be too young, but we spent about three hours there. A lot to do and well worth it.

I love the opportunity for my child to try and learn new things through all the museum has to offer.  Thank you for all you provide to the children and for changing things occasionally so there is something new to work on.

Love!  When I'm making my respite care rounds, I take my kiddos with disabilities here all the time. It has such incredible sensory activities and the kids love it.

This is a fun place to take your kids on a cold or rainy day to occupy them for hours... the annual membership fee is a steal if you plan on going all the time.  If you have little kids, this is a must try!

This place is awesome!!  My son has been going there since he started walking nearly a year ago.  He LOVES it!  There is so much to explore, my son never gets bored.  The people who work here are all very nice as well.  I love that we live so close -- it's a real treasure!

Great museum! Our 3 grandchildren loved it. We will definitely go back and probably buy a grandparents membership.

It's been a couple years since we've been to the Children's Museum, and wow! They've made some awesome changes both upstairs and downstairs. Space is much more functional and the new exhibits are very engaging, interactive and fun. Good job!
