I take my girls to the Museum at least once a month. The new location is fantastic! They've managed to offer plenty of great new exhibits while still keeping the coziness of their previous location. Its perfect place to take young kids and its the sort of place you can come back to over and over.

My experiences at the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn have always been positive. I recently brought the preschool where I am the director to the museum. The children had a wonderful time. Knowing that CMOL has designed the exhibits with the Illinois Learning Standards in mind, makes the experience even better.

Being a member of the Children's Museum Board is a very proud item for me. Each time I visit the museum or hear about the progress and up to date happenings, I am so pleased to have a small part of this great museum. It has been a great asset to the community for children and their families. What a prize possession for the Village of Oak Lawn!

The Children's Museum in Oak Lawn is a great place for a family to spend quality time together, and it's rather inexpensive. Whether it's roleplaying in the theater or learning how to drill a hole in a board in the workshop, kids have so much fun they don't even realize they're learning!

My children absolutely love coming to the museum. My 7-year old daughter can't get enough of the vet area and my 14-year-old son enjoys the "Race is On" area (which teaches concepts of physics, such as momentum, motion and friction.)
