CHICAGO, Ill. – Come one, come all, step right up and have a ball! Chicago Children’s Museum, 700 E. Grand Ave., is thrilled to announce the remounting of its circus-themed exhibit, Circusville opening on Thursday, January 25 through September 7.
Pretend play in a rich environment provides children the opportunity to try out various personas as a means to explore their own personalities. Circusville sets the stage for children to choose to be the star of the show through dress-up or to practice their hand at juggling and balancing on a tightrope. For another look into the whimsy of circus life, they can choose to take on vital roles including ticket taker, hot dog vendor and more.
“We are thrilled to be bringing back such a vibrant and engaging experience to the museum,” said Chicago Children’s Museum President and CEO Jennifer Farrington.
Chicago Children’s Museum uses the circus setting to lay a foundation for children and families to engage in building narratives through play. With countless materials and a complete backdrop, Circusville encourages choice, perspective, and imagination for all.
The mission of Chicago Children's Museum is to improve children’s lives by creating a community where play and learning connect. CCM is a cultural institution dedicated to young children and the important adults in their lives. Playful experiences, including more than 15 interactive exhibits and daily programming, tap into how kids from ages 0-10 years old learn and engage to develop the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
