How old are the kids?

Kohl's children museum for sure at that age up north.

Try the Arboretum lights! Children’s museums are great and there are lots of trampoline parks about. We have a membership to a trampoline park and take my four year old there to blow off steam.

Kohl’s Museum in Glenview is good for 8 and 3. If they like painting you could go to Color Me Mine in the Glen. There are also a number indoor playgrounds in the area. Do a Google search for Jump Zone or Trampoline Park.
