21 Best Things To Do in Chicago April 2023 with Kids

Spring has sprung and it’s time to go outside! April 2023 kicks off with all the Easter egg hunts you can handle, plus pictures with the Easter Bunny. There’s also plenty of non-bunny related fun, like a favorite returning Chicago Children’s Theater production, a new immersive experience at Lighthouse Art Space, and a new Art on the Mart exhibit. For Earth Day, you can help clean up litter in Cook County’s forest preserves, make a recycled craft at Gallagher Way, or go for a run in Brookfield. We’ve got tons of ideas for spring break, which is April 3-9 for Chicago Public Schools.

Spring break is also the perfect time to play tourist in your own city with our top 25 Chicago tourist attractions, or get out of the city to take a family hike.  And don’t forget to get booking those summer camps, which are filling up fast in the city and suburbs.
