The Field Museum’s Crown Family PlayLab is now open daily from 10am–3:30pm, offering early learners ages 2-6 and their caregivers a dedicated play space and interactive hands-on experiences within the museum. Over the last decade, the PlayLab has served more than 1 million early learners and their families. An introduction to the larger museum, the PlayLab offers a series of immersive activity areas focused on natural science to encourage children to learn about the world through play. In 2018, the Crown Family made a generous gift to renovate the PlayLab they originally funded in 2008.  The renovation took place over the summer, and focused on enhancements for today’s learners and the museum’s accessibility efforts, which include Sensory Saturdays, a free monthly program designed for families with children with disabilities. Visitors will encounter freshly painted walls and flooring, as well as a refresh to fan-favorites in the 7,200 square-foot space.
