Children's Neighborhood Museum

Bring your little ones to explore our museum!

Imagine a tot-sized replica of a town built especially for kids. A place where they can drive a car to the market, gas up at the local gas station, be a doctor, lead a classroom and explore in our STEAM area! Our Neighborhood is a place where children ages 1-6 practice various roles in a community, challenging themselves to explore, imagine and create, exercising both mind and body. We also have a crawler zone for those with siblings under 1. We meet a variety of "Illinois State Early Learning Standards" that have been developed for Early Childhood Developmental Education.

Hours of Operation

Note: Open hours are subject to change due to special programming and holidays. Regardless of membership status, entry is first-come, first-serve. Be advised that there is a guest capacity to ensure fun and safety for all. You must have a waiver on file with the Round Lake Area Park District to enter the Children's Neighborhood Museum. If you want to fill this out before you come to the Community Center, you can find the Neighborhood Waiver online under memberships.
