The Allstate Foundation Presents Play It Safe
This exhibit is closed for renovation and will re-open December 3 as a brand new Play It Safe!

The Allstate Foundation Presents Play It Safe transforms into a firehouse—complete with command center, fire pole, "Get Low and Go" bedroom, fire truck, and more—that invites families to investigate fire safety through play. Step into the boots of a firefighter and discover what it takes to be a hero!

Play It Safe was developed in partnership with the Chicago Fire Department with generous funding from The Allstate Foundation.

Kraft Artabounds Studio & Gallery
Witness wondrous works of art by children and families from Chicago and beyond. The Artabounds Gallery is a showcase for collaborative family art created in CCM's fully-equipped Kraft Artabounds Studio and offers an intimate walk-through space that delights and inspires an early appreciation for art.

Between Us: Making Art Together was built entirely by children and families in CCM's sculpture workshops. Under the guidance of professional artists, visitors fabricated nine-foot-high mixed-media panels, a giant mobile, clay “face” tiles, silk-screened windows, and more for this one-of-a-kind exhibition.
