Kid’s Island – Chicago, Il

You don't have to plan a trip to the beach to enjoy hours of fun in the sand. Stretching from one wall to another, the indoor sandbox at Kid's Island is filled with non-toxic superfine sand that brushes right off. Bigger and better than your average playground box, this sandy oasis has a slide, baby swing, a play kitchen, and tons of buckets and shovels. And, to help you clean up, there is an air hose and sink onsite, along with coveralls and boots to wear. And if you're not feeling like getting in the fine stuff, you can always opt to play in the sand-less carpeted play space that's full of themed areas to explore. 2205 N.
