The Best Museums in the Country for Crawling Babies

by Oz Spies

She’s on the move, but not on her feet yet. Lucky for you, there are plenty of museums that cater to the crawling set. Even better, a visit won’t break your budget, since kids under one are almost always free-of-charge. Here, you’ll find 14 of our favorite museums for busy crawlers, both large and small, from across the country.

Chicago Children’s Museum – Chicago, Il

In the Chicago Children's Museum's Pritzker Playspace, families will find a baby-sized sensory table inviting kiddos to explore, blocks for building and soft cushions scattered across the floor. Plus, the museum brings in experts so parents can learn about different areas of early childhood development while their little ones explore, like the upcoming In the Loop series that's bringing in speakers to talk about art, language and early literacy. Note: this area is only open a few hours each day, so be sure to check the website before taking a trip to the museum. Admission costs $13 for children and adults, and is free for children under one.
