I have been coming to the Dupage children's museum for the past 14 years. I have a pass to bring the children I care for in my in home childcare. It is a nice place to visit when the weather is not allowing for outside time. The children get to explore in a safe and fun environment. The museum often changes the top floor to different exhibits, they often have art in the studio, children can build something in the workshop area, and they even have a cafe in the lower level. I have been coming to the special events throughout the years as well such as Dora the Explorer visiting long ago, the Owl presentation, a clown show and several more including the one we attended today the bug exhibit where we were able to touch and hold different bugs. Overall, the museum is a great place to go. Only draw back I can find is that there is limited parking and the cost per visit is costly especially if you have multiple people going. It's almost best to buy a pass if you will visit often.

Usually this place is great. But we came today with our family of 4. We live about 40 min away. The main attraction for out little ones is the water and bubbles. That whole exhibit is closed off today. That is a huge part of our experience. Where as I understand the reason. ( they are getting ready for an event they are having in a week) I feel a discount should be given. It's 50$ for a family of 4 to come in here, that's pretty steep normally but ridiculous when a huge exhibit is closed. Then upon closet look many other exhibits were closed as well. Extremely disappointing

My 4 kids love this place. It is my favorite place to take the kids when it isn't super busy. Parking can be a pain, but I have come to realize if I can't find parking that's my sign that it's too busy. I love the variety of areas and the rotating upstairs areas. Well worth the membership.

I have been to several of these type places and this is my absolute favorite so far. The cleanliness, varied activities and spaciousness lend to a great experience here!

Great, creative - has so many fun things or would take days to see it all. Even my 6 month old found things she could do.
