Kids Activities in Lake County

Kids events and activities are around every corner...

There’s no reason to be bored with so much to do! Next weekend, let curiosities (young and old) run wild in Lake County!

Spend an afternoon racing cars, getting the bad guys and whacking pesky moles with your favorite little ones at Tilt Studio in Gurnee Mills. Swing by the Rainforest Café and have lunch with the fun creatures of the tropical jungle. 

Learning can be fun with interesting museums like the Kids Display at the Lake County Discovery Museum. Kids can learn about the history of the area through displays, games and videos. The museum is currently closed but will reopen in 2017 at the new Libertyville location. Get crafty at Artist at Heart in Libertyville. Paint a one of a kind masterpiece for the perfect gift or keepsake from a great day spent with your family. 

Spend a day on a farm with the family and get up close and personal with farm animals at Lambs Farm. Take a kid friendly train ride around the farm and feed some of the barnyard favorites like goats, sheep and cows. Enjoy the outdoors? The Chicago Botanic Garden offers fun classes for kids of all ages where they can learn about planting, making their own treats or visiting the model train garden.

See your favorite Hollywood cars like the Cat In the Hat car, the Scooby Doo Mystery Mobile, or the Batmobile at the Volo Auto Museum and then go for a hike in the Volo Bog State Natural Area.

Perfect your putting with mini golf courses for any time of the year! Conquer the volcano at Aloha Falls or try indoor glow in the dark mini golfing at the People’s Choice Family Fun Center. Get active at Libertyville Sports Complex and try something new like climbing a rock wall.

Next weekend, surprise the kids with a fun-filled trip to Lake County!
