School is in! But preschoolers are still out half the day. What to do? Try a new playground, of course. From a pirate-themed paradise to an oasis where fake bears stand guard, we found great options for young kids that need to build up or burn off energy. Click through our album to discover them all.

West Suburban Hub: Berens Playground

Head to what locals call "The Hub" for a flurry of fun. Grab putters for a round of mini golf, munch on a snack, and go wild on the tiny-tot-appropriate playground. Help your child scale the freestanding mini climbing wall -- they'll feel so proud when they reach the top.
