Hello, I am from Michigan, but coming to visit some family in the SW Chicago suburbs soon. Here in MI there are several Indoor Playground places that my 2 year old daughter loves to go to. I love them too because there is usually a coffee bar/snack bar where I can get something & just sit & relax while she plays. I would love it if we can find a place like this in the SW Chicago suburbs when we come to visit. Has anyone heard of anything like this that you can recommend to me?
I just discovered the other day, to my great delight (!!) that the Garfield Park Conservatory on the west side of the city has a Children's garden, which includes a play area. It's right off 290, free parking and free admission. You can take the green line too.
Where exactly in the SW Burbs? I here there is a great indoor playground in Lagrange Park in their park district, about $5.00. Also, if you want to spend some more and the day, consider the Brookfield Zoo. There is a great Hamill Family Indoor Play Zoo. Tons of stuff to entertain your daughter. Also if you are here this weekend, its going to be in the fifties, so you may be able to enjoy the other stuff as well, there's always the dolphin show inside too.
I don't know the SW suburbs, but I would love to know of the places you go if they are near Detroit! When we visit relatives there's no place to go with the kids in cold weather. (here, we would go to a museum or children's museum.)
Many times the malls have an area where the kids can play - I think the Louis Joliet Mall has one.
