Bowling makes dinner move
Kings Dining & Entertainment ... Lincoln Park gives everyone something to do between bites. Choose a daytime family booking and read the current late-evening age rules. Chicago Food Magazine’s October 20 visit shows one way the meal and lanes fit together.
A zoo day with breaks built in
Lincoln Park Zoo offers free general admission. Special events and rides can cost extra. A meal or snack break can be part of the outing rather than another stop everyone has to rush through.
Hands-on play at Navy Pier
Chicago Children’s Museum puts the play first. Plan the meal before or after the visit because busy-day re-entry can be restricted. The museum publishes its accessibility programs and current hours.
The dolls get a seat too
American Girl Café ... Chicago turns lunch into part of a Water Tower Place visit. Book the café separately from shopping or a salon appointment. A doll’s day out and a museum day are different plans.
