This place is such a welcome diversion! It's like an indoor park with a whole bunch of totally safe activities for kids. There are options for physical play (big open area for running around, giant climbing castle) and also make-believe (cute costumes and a mini town). There is a separate section for Under 2, which is good because when it's crowded, the bigger kids can get a little rough for the baby/toddler set. Make sure you wear socks since no shoes are allowed in the play area!

So much fun, the place makes you wish you were a kid again. I love to bring the kids here whenever I can. I find a place like this is better than Navy Pier especially for the younger kids. More social interaction. Get good directions, though. I drove around and around the first time I came. I was expecting the outside to look different.

PROS:
CONS: Not open 24/7.

Fantasy Kingdom is a great idea - something fun for a rainy day, and a place to have birthday parties. They also have attached, garage parking for free which is a plus. On the down side, it's a bit small of space inside with not a ton of different things for older kids. Also, be prepared everyone (adults and kids) need to have socks or you have to buy them to go in.

I took my nephews here to burn off some of their large amounts of energy. It was money and time well spent. The palce is huge and has lots of toys, rides and play equipement for all children . My nephews didnt know where to start first, so they decided to run around in the running area and play tag. The admission prices were good value considering the boys and I were there for a good 4 hours playing. Parking is easily acessible. I would not recommend however going there on a busy weekend as it can get very overcrowded.

PROS: Lots of things children can do
CONS: Can get too over crowded.

Once you're able to find Fantasy Kingdom, tucked away in a warehouse in what seems like an unlikely (though totally safe) area to have a children's play place, you'll find a big, open, clean, vibrant and exciting place for your young one to play. First things first, this place has no shortage of free, totally convenient indoor parking immediately adjacent to the property. You're greeted by a reception desk and an area to place your belongings - shoes off for everyone. They have a great separate eating area, so when you're little one needs a snack or lunch, little tables, little chairs, and even highchairs await. The main play area affords kids lots of running space, and they jam-pack the place with ride-on toys, slides, a brio train table, tons of toys, and more. There are little themed areas, such as a police station, fire station, grocery store - each with appropriately-themed toys for pretend-play. They have various payment options, including a one-day pass for around $12 - which is great if you just want to pop in now and then and not commit to a long contract. I would say it's best for boys and girls up to age 4.

PROS: clean, attractive space, fun, worthwhile
CONS: can seem a little crowded at times
