  • The Chicago Children's Museum is located at Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded in 1982 by The Junior League of Chicago who were responding to programming cutbacks in the Chicago Public Schools. Originally housed in two hallways of the Chicago Public Library, it soon began to offer trunk shows and traveling exhibits in response to capacity crowds on-site. The museum moved a number of times over its initial years of existence while it continued to search for a permanent home. In 1995, the Museum thought it found that home when it reopened as an anchor tenant at Navy Pier on Lake Michigan. The new facility offered 57,000 square feet (5,300 m2) of exhibition space and included three floors of educational exhibits, public programs and special events. Upon the move to the Pier, the expansion made it the fourth largest children's museum in the United States. The museum serves more than 650,000 people, both at its Navy Pier location and in communities in and around Chicago, each year. While the Museum has an admission charge, it currently provides free admission to children 15 and under each Thursday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and all-day on the first Sunday of each month. (en)
  • Le Chicago Children's Museum est un musée pour enfant situé sur le site de la jetée Navy (Navy Pier) à Chicago dans l'État de l'Illinois, aux États-Unis. Il a été fondé en 1982 par la Junior League de Chicago, qui répondait à des compressions de programmation dans les écoles publiques de Chicago. Le musée était abrité à l'origine dans deux couloirs de la Bibliothèque publique de Chicago avant d'organiser des spectacles et des expositions. Le musée a déménagé un certain nombre de fois, depuis ses premières années d'existence tout en continuant à chercher un lieu permanent. En 1995, le musée s'installe sur la jetée Navy, entourée par le lac Michigan. Les nouvelles installations offrent 5 300 m² d'espace d'exposition et comprend trois étages d'expositions éducatives, des programmes publics et des événements spéciaux. L'extension en a fait le quatrième plus grand musée pour enfants aux États-Unis. Le musée accueille 650 000 personnes chaque année. Alors que le musée a un droit d'entrée, il accorde actuellement une entrée libre les jeudis soir à partir de 5 à 8 ans et entrée gratuite toute la journée du premier dimanche de chaque mois. (fr)
  • O Chicago Children's Museum é um museu localizado no Navy Pier, em Chicago, Illinois. Foi fundada em 1982 pela The Junior League of Chicago que estava respondendo aos cortes de programação nas Escolas Públicas de Chicago. Originalmente alojado em dois corredores da Biblioteca Pública de Chicago, ele logo começou a oferecer shows de troncos e exposições itinerantes em resposta a multidões de capacidade no local. O museu mudou várias vezes ao longo dos seus primeiros anos de existência enquanto continuava a procurar um lar permanente. Em 1995, o Museu achou que encontrou aquele lar quando reabriu como inquilino âncora no Navy Pier, no Lago Michigan. A nova instalação oferece 5,300 m² (57.000 sq ft) de espaço expositivo e incluiu três andares de exposições educacionais, programas públicos e eventos especiais. Ao mudar para o Cais, a expansão o tornou o quarto maior museu infantil nos Estados Unidos. O museu atende a mais de 650 mil pessoas, tanto na localização do Navy Pier quanto nas comunidades dentro e ao redor de Chicago, todos os anos. Enquanto o Museu tem uma taxa de admissão, atualmente oferece entrada gratuita para crianças abaixo de 16 anos de cada quinta-feira das 17:00 hrs às 8 hrs e todo o dia no primeiro domingo de cada mês.
