This post deals specifically with museum activities that are super kid friendly and often free. Other posts will give you general museum free days. First is the Children's Museum located in Navy Pier. On Thursdays from 5-8pm and the 1st Sunday of every month (childrens entrance fee) it is FREE! On the second Saturday of every month from 11am-3pm the Museum of Contemporary Art at Chicago Avenue behind Water Tower, offers an activity packed FREE family day with arts and crafts that are very unique, a scavenger hunt with prizes and a relaxation area for families loaded with free juice, water, and Target brand snacks for everyone. It is a MUST from October-May to keep the kids active even on the coldest Saturday. The Art Institute also has varying free children's classes on Saturdays with paid admission for the adults. You must sign up in advance to attend but you won't be disappointed in the almost 2 hour interactive learning experience for your children. Best entrance is on Monroe by the new Modern Wing as the studio is by the admissions desk. Take a look at the artic.edu site for more information and scheduling.
