Did you know?  Chicago Children's Museum was founded in 1982 by a coalition led by The Junior League of Chicago in response to program cutbacks in the Chicago Public Schools. The museum opened in two hallways of the Chicago Public Library. In response to capacity crowds on-site, CCM developed trunk shows and exhibits which traveled to schools, branch libraries, and neighborhood centers.

The museum occupied several interim homes throughout the city before landing in its current 57,000 square foot facility at Navy Pier.  With three floors of engaging and educational exhibits, a full array of public programs and special events, CCM strives to effectively meet the needs of its diverse audience.

Come enjoy a day at Navy Pier with your entire family with this day pass to the museum.
