Hi Everyone!
We are fairly new to the area (moved from Maryland) and somehow I got roped into being the hospitality mom for my daughter's preschool. This means I have t plan monthly activities for her class where they all can get together and socialize (as do the moms). We've done get togethers at McDonald's playland in Frankfort, bowling in New Lennox, but I'm trying to figure out next month's activity. Any suggestions?

You could go to Chuck e Cheeses. It is fun and very affordable.
Have fun!
If you dont mind traveling, the exploration station in kankakee is FANTASTIC, I took my kids there, both preschool age and they loved it!!!

Hi... The mom's club I belong to has gone to Johnny Choo Choo's or something like that in Frankfurt, local pizzeria's to make pizza's, tour of post office, story time at borders/library, breakfast, jump zone, ice cream social at oberweis. Good luck!
Try Exploration station in Bourbonnais. It is a little bit of a drive but it is fantastic for kids anytime of the year. They have a website too - just google search. It is right off of Rt. 45 so it is a straight shot down from Frankfort.
Good Luck!

Hi C.,
Try the Children's Farm in Palos Park, Hands On! Art Museum in the Beverly Neighborhood of Chicago, "Crackpots" Pottery in Orland Park, Orland Ice Arena, Lake Katherine in Palos Heights, PlaySpace in the Beverly Neighborhood of Chicago, Jungle Gym in the Mount Greenwood Neighborhood of Chicago, of Hollywood Fun Park in Crestwood.
If you need more info on any of these places let me know!
Good luck!

Jump Zone and Pump it Up are pretty cool. My friend and I took our kids there a few nights ago. The kids loved it (and so did the moms and dads!). Try the Library (New Lenox has a really nice one). Also, park districts often have 1 day events/activities, such as story tellers, craft projects, special trips, and the Naperville Children's museum is awesome. For outdoor fun, check out the peggy norbert's nature museum downtown chicago and the morton arboretum's children's garden.
