DuPage Children’s Museum

DuPage Children’s Museum is a hands-on children’s museum in Naperville on Washington Street, directly across from the Naperville Metra station on the BNSF line, which makes the museum a rare suburban attraction reachable from the city without a car. Three floors of exhibits focus on building, water, air and art for children from infants through early grade school, with weekday toddler programs and members-only mornings.
