DuPage Children's Museum — Attraction in Naperville

What a wonderful experience! The Children’s Museum in Naperville is absolutely amazing and a fantastic place to spend time as a family. While it’s not a huge museum, its size is perfect: practical, cozy, and filled with well-thought-out activities for kids. Every corner is carefully designed, making it a truly special place.

Cleanliness and organization: Everything is spotless and perfectly maintained. It’s clear the staff puts a lot of effort into keeping the space in excellent condition, which is so important for a children’s environment.

The staff: Super friendly and always helpful. We visited on a Saturday, relatively late in the day, yet the team remained kind, attentive, and made sure everyone had a great time.

Café area: I absolutely loved the café! It’s practical, with options to heat your own food (they even have a microwave!), but what really stood out was how they promote healthy eating in such a creative way. They have photos of children enjoying fruits and vegetables, which is so refreshing to see, especially here in the U.S. You’ll see pictures of kids happily eating oranges, bananas, broccoli, apples, bell peppers, carrots, strawberries, cucumbers, watermelon, celery… it’s truly inspiring! The vibrant colors and positive messaging create such an uplifting environment.

Activities: The interactive exhibits, especially those involving air, are simply delightful. My child had an amazing time exploring and learning, so much so that we lost track of time. It’s a place where kids can play and learn at the same time, fueling their curiosity and imagination.

Affordable prices: The museum offers a high-quality experience at a very reasonable cost. It’s definitely a place we’ll return to.

In summary, the Children’s Museum in Naperville is a magical space where kids have tons of fun, and parents enjoy seeing them so happy. It’s clean, well-organized, with an amazing staff and activities that spark creativity. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s absolutely...

We hosted a birthday party for my daughter. They do not allow outside food so we had to order their overpriced catering from their Bean Sprouts cafe located in the lower level of DCM. We chose a 31-40 size package for both catering and party package. They greet you and shocked us from the very beginning. The designated host (that normally helps out with room decoration, cake cutting etc at other kids places) said follow me and push the cart with your stuff. So we pushed our cart to the party room, then we were told there is a phone and they can be reached there if needed. The host came in to check if everything is good. I said we will be ready for the cake in 10 minutes. Nobody showed up, they didn't provide the knife for cutting the cake. So we called in twice and nobody picked up the phone. I went to their cafeteria to borrow knife and we dealt with it on our own once more. They didn't provide enough utensils, luckily I had extras brought from home and used them as there was no time to call that inactive phone and request more. At the end they showed up and said we need to clean up the room. There wasn't a designated host that stays with your while you are in the party room. They showed up twice and were not helpful at all. It was a Saturday and the facility was too crowded, something to consider especially when you have younger kids. We paid near $900 (party package plus catering) for a few hours and didn't receive appropriate service. Will never host anything here. It is simply...

Found out after promising my son a trip today that they are still requiring masks. I am not an anti masker. I have had COVID myself and lost my mother to COVID. I understand when masks were necessary and dealt with the limits to where we could take my son at that time. However, my son has autism and with the requirements being lifted everywhere, even school, he no longer will tolerate putting a mask on. I called to ask when the requirement would be lifted and it was explained that one day a month children like my son can come without wearing a mask. If my son was in a wheelchair and could only come once a month due to the museum being unable to accommodate him in a wheelchair, they would be all over the news. But it's autism, so I guess no one cares. So one day a month, during a specialized time for children with autism he is welcome, otherwise my five year old son isn't welcome because of an inability to tolerate a mask. If the mandates were still in place, I would understand. But at this point, this is obviously discrimination. But that's ok. The Field, Museum of Science and Industry, the Shedd, Enchanted Castle, Funflatables, the Art Institute, nd the Chicago Children's Museum do not require them. We will simply take our business to where my child won't have to deal with staff enacting extra rules that make it impossible for children with autism to...
