Bronzeville Children's Museum

This Children's Museum is unlike any other, I have taken my kids to. They are very structured and families enter at timed hours. You have a host for part of the tour. They keep the tour relevant and build confidence and pride in the Children. They teach about African American Heroes even ones that we didn't see in the text books growing up. They have the space well organized, clean and full of fun. It's geared for kids ages 4-9. They also have a small gift shop with tiny stem toys and t shirts. The cost is budget friendly. It's cash only so make sure to get cash ahead of time. This is a gem of a museum that has been going on for 27 years. It is family run.

I went with my 6 year old daughter. Staff were very sociable, pleasant, and knowledgable. The thing to note is that you need to arrive 5 minutes before your tour time and you buy tickets at the establishment. Tours start at 10, 11, 12 and 1. This place was clean, organized, and very nice! I will be back!

Extremely educational, interactive and fun. We went as a family of 6. We had a 1, 3, 5 and 16 year old. There appeared to be 4 rooms and you’re able to do 3 rooms per tour. I loved how my children were able to learn about Black inventors and get to see, touch, smell to learn and remember these inventors and their contribution to the world we live in. My 5 year old loved the STEAM and song that was taught. In the STEAM room they even accommodated my 16 year old by allowing him to code. Our tour guide was very patient, straight forward, engaging and warm at the same time. We had a great time and would definitely come again. You’re able to get a membership and they have events year round. Highly recommend. Takes about 2 hours to fully make it through.

Took my nieces in son during a visit to Chicago. I enjoyed it as well as the kids. The admission is only $5 (cash only) and the parking is plentiful and free. I loved the various exhibits because they are educational and interactive which is great for kids. As an adult, it’s great to hear so much Black History that’s overlooked in the education system. I wished we had more time to hear about other Black inventors or a way to apply the learning in real time. The kids especially loved the playtime exhibit and the fitness room. When it was time to leave the begged to stay longer. I promised I’d bring that back in the future.

Family affordable educational fun. Amazing way to pass on Black History and the vast contributios.Kid friendly colorful decor, hands on activities Wonderful staff!!! We will be back with a group👍👍💙
