Best Family Entertainment in Illinois

Illinois has 5 family entertainment we would happily take our own kids to. Enchanted Castle is the one most families start with. Race go-karts, battle in multi-level laser tag, and pick from 200-plus arcade games under one Chicagoland roof. Grady's Family Fun Park is the other name that comes up again and again. Race NASCAR-themed go-karts and ride a roller coaster at a fun park born from a 1959 pizza recipe. Haunted Trails Family Entertainment Center rounds out the pick of the bunch. Putt an award-winning mini-golf course, then race go-karts open since 1977. Also worth your time: LEGOLAND Discovery Center Chicago and Odyssey Fun World Tinley Park.

Published prices run from $21.99 at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Chicago up to $29.99 at Odyssey Fun World Tinley Park. 2 of the 5 listed here quote a starting price. The others vary by season or by what you add on, so check before you travel. Age guidance is worth reading first at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Chicago (ages 3-10).

The family entertainment on this page are spread across Schaumburg (1), Lombard (1), Bloomington (1) and Burbank (1), so it is easy to pair two into one trip.
