Playful, hands-on learning for students — and the important adults in their lives!

Be Your Own Guide
A Self-Guided Visit offers your group a chance to explore the entire museum at their own pace. Children can make meaningful connections and discoveries in any of our 15 exhibits and programming spaces.

Dig Deeper
A Facilitated Workshop at CCM allows your group to experience an in-depth guided visit to one specific exhibit in conjunction with a hands-on workshop led by a museum educator. Itís a perfect way to kick off or culminate a themed unit in your classroom! Each of our facilitated workshops is aligned with Illinois State Learning Standards.

Let Us Come to You
CCM to Go is a great way to bring the excitement of a field trip right to your site! Hour-long, themed workshops travel to your location, and each is facilitated by one of our dynamic museum educators.

Playing and Learning is For Grown-Ups, Too!
Professional Development Programs provide valuable opportunities for adults to gain practical tools to apply in their work with children. These workshops can be tailored to your groupís needs, and can take place at CCM or at your site.
