Sweet N Sassy - Oakbrook

Want a date night but can't find a sitter for your girls? Want your kids to be thrilled for mommy and daddy to get a night out?

Kid City - Grand Avenue Chicago

Kid City is an indoor, year round play area for children birth through 6 or 7 that offers numerous stimulated vignettes. The first hurdle is figuring out how to get into the place if you are a first time visitor. When you get to their front door it is locked - round the clock (great for safety). There isn't a sign, arrow, anything that tells you that you need to press the small white button to the left of the door in order for them to come and unlock the door and let you in. Not good if it is raining or snowing and your have your arms loaded with baby and toddler in tow. Once you come in you place your shoes on mats and continue on to the cashier station. The place where you leave your shoes can be very wet so you and your child end up spending the rest of your time in cold, soaking wet socks, so bring extras. The decor is adorable with a free standing small fire house, a tea and dress up room, a movie theater, generic play center with blocks and other activities, and a parents room with couches. There is a train table and a video viewing area as well. There is no way a child will be bored here. There is a kitchen area for a snack with your children. On the clean scale it was pretty good. Plan on spending a few hours but you may still get a child that isn't ready to go home when it is time to leave!
