There is an art zone on the first floor - but pick up a pass one hour before the class starts. The waterways exhibit is awesome and fun for toddlers. There is so much to do at this museum !Upvoted 2 days ago- Jamie PitmanSeptember 5, 2016We have been to this museum many times.Such a good place to take the kids out. Lots of different things to do. It is a great location at Navy Pier with several options for entertainment and food!!
