The North Shore has a lot to do for all age groups, but here we specifically selected things that could be fun for the whole family. If you\u2019ve got a mixed age group to entertain, let us suggest a few options below!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Exploritorium<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the weather outside cools off, everyone misses the joy of playing outside. Luckily, the Exploritorium is a great spot for movement for both children and parents. Many interactive stations allow young and old to explore and create together. There\u2019s a \u2018dress-up costume\u2019 area, a music-making zone, a water play area, a climbing wall…the list goes on and on. Make reservations if you can, as this is a popular spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Weber Leisure Center<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

If you or your kids want it, the Weber Leisure Center probably has it. Seriously, when it comes to recreation on the North Shore, this complex has it goin\u2019 on. It starts with Fitness First, an award-winning fitness center. It also houses a gymnasium, the Skatium ice rink, an indoor batting cage, pickleball courts, volleyball, pilates, indoor soccer, even a birthday party center.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emily Oaks Nature Center<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is your backyard feeling a little cramped? Have a visit to the Emily Oaks Nature Center. 13 acres of wide-open space, plus many interactive exhibits and trails that allow everyone to stretch out and breathe some fresh air. There are even facilities for group gatherings like children\u2019s birthday parties and the <\/span>Growing Sprouts Preschool<\/span><\/a> program.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kohl Children\u2019s Museum<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

If you have some young ones in your crew, then look no further than the Kohl Children\u2019s Museum. The Museum features interactive exhibits for kids up to age 8. KCM is set up as a sort of \u2018adults\u2019 world for kids,\u2019 with a kid-sized grocery store, a vet\u2019s office, and a daycare inhabited by dolls! All the installations are set up to help make learning fun and entertaining.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s Theatre<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s back! After the pandemic hiatus, the North Shore\u2019s premier live theatre company is back for its 30<\/span>th<\/span> season. Since 1992, the Theatre has presented interesting interpretations of classics and new works alike. Even the Wall Street Journal called WT \u2018America\u2019s finest regional theatre company.\u2019 In 2016, they moved into a new, state-of-the-art facility that\u2019s an experience for young and old alike. Check the program for performances suitable for both kids and adults!<\/span><\/p>\n

Historic Wagner Farm<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Driving through Chicago and the North Shore these days, you\u2019d never really know how years ago the whole area was simply farmland. Most of these historic homesteads are long gone, but Wagner Farm still exists to tell the story of what used to be. Wagner Farm is over 18 acres of a formerly much larger farm that began operation in the 1850s. People of all ages can get up close with chickens, cows, and draft horses. Experience a real barnyard! Of course, in October there\u2019s one of the area\u2019s best pumpkin patches on offer as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regal City North Cinema<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe this is a no-brainer, but sometimes you don\u2019t want to go to a park or a climbing gym. You want to order some popcorn, sit down in a comfy seat, and check out a movie. And the best film palace in the area is the Regal City North. They have IMAX + 4DX if that\u2019s your thing, and there are 14 different cinemas inside the complex… so surely they\u2019ll be playing something the whole family can enjoy. Pro tip: go on Mondays and Tuesdays, when the admission prices are reasonably priced.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hope these tips give you and your whole family some ideas this fall!<\/span><\/p>\n
