Passport to Adventure Returns to West Chicago
|
|
 |
West Chicago, Illinois: May 24, 2010 - Wondering how to entertain your children during the long summer months? Again this year, suburban museums have teamed up to provide the Passport to Adventure. This program provides a great way for families to share in the fun offered by many suburban museums, including the West Chicago City Museum, located at 132 Main Street and the Kruse House Museum, located at 527 Main Street.
The program runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day and is open to children between the ages of 4 and 12. Families may pick up a Passport book at the City Museum or Kruse House, as well as at the West Chicago Public Library. Each Passport book contains a listing of participating museum, including address, hours, admission fees (if any) and a brief description of the exhibits available at each location.
Children receive stamps in the Passport books at each site they visit, and at the end of the summer children may receive prizes based on the number of museums visited.
The West Chicago City Museum is housed in the1884 Turner Town Hall. Discover what a prairie is and what animals and plants can be found there in the exhibit, A Prairie Primer. There are hands-on activities for children available. Several art-based changing exhibits will also be on display throughout the summer.
