Kohl Children’s Museum
2100 Patriot Boulevard................................................. (847) 832-6600
Situated on nearly nine acres of land, Kohl Children’s
Museum of Greater Chicago features 17 interactive exhibits
designed with expert knowledge of how children learn.
Within its world class Glenview facility, opened in 2005,
you’ll find enrichment activities and programs designed to
specifically address the developmental needs of children
ages birth to 8. It’s no wonder we welcome more than
300,000 visitors each year.
The great outdoors opens up to Museum visitors in our
2-acre nature park called Habitat Park. Here, children explore
unique climbing structures, a prairie grass maze, water
painting wall, solar and wind power, a sensory garden and a
10-piece interactive sculpture trail.
Inside, the fundamental connections that set the stage for
a lifetime of learning— connections in their developing
minds, bodies, and spirits—are nurtured and encouraged,
celebrated and transformed, all through the power of play.
