For a short time only, Kohl Children’s Museum is bringing back their most popular temporary exhibit, Build It!, a larger than life collection of building blocks that encourages children to explore their creativity while learning about architecture, science and storytelling. Once inside, you’ll find various stations that introduce activities and challenges that prompt visitors to engineer their own adventures and solutions. Kids won’t even realize their learning about geometry while using light and shadows or constructing models of Chicago’s most iconic structures. This exhibit is fun, active learning at its very best.
