Family Room Chicago on Broadway

“Do your kids like arts & crafts? Do you want your kid to socialize but maybe you struggle to make plans? Do you need to get out of the house? This might be the place for you. Family room is a large living room filled with toys you don't have (and some you do) plus a wide spectrum of arts & crafts supplies. For adults, there's free unlimited coffee. For everyone, there's water in 3 oz cups, limiting clean up when small hands make mistakes. They stock the bathroom with wipes and size 3 diapers. Makes it easy for a drop in, or any kind of visit where a parent doesn't want to pack a huge bag. Your 1-6 year old can get pretty reliably get an hour or two of hands on fun. For older kids, there's a big kids fit and fun next door, best if your child can shoot a basketball into a shortened (~9 foot) hoop.”

“The after-care program is truly exceptional. Every time I walk in, the room is full of kids laughing, playing, and genuinely enjoying themselves. It’s a lively, positive environment where children can be kids exploring, socialising, and having fun in a safe and well-supervised space. The staff deserves a huge thank-you. They manage the group with patience, professionalism, and so much heart. You can see how comfortable the kids are and how much trust they have in the adults caring for them. What I appreciate most is that it’s not just “babysitting.” The children are engaged, active, and happy, and they always leave with big smiles and stories to share. Highly recommend this after-care program to any parent looking for a safe, joyful, and enriching place for their child to spend their afternoons.”

“We hosted a holiday party for ~50 people and had a wonderful time! Kim and team were helpful throughout. Highly recommend for an easy (and low logistics) kids' event.”
