Benefits

“I would like to thank every member of the staff at the museum for all that you do. I first discovered your gem in March of 2012, and I have always enjoyed the time I spend there with my son. My son loves the museum and he never gets tired of visiting. We always end up spending several hours when we visit. I love to watch him play, learn, and interact with other children. Thank you to each and every one of you for all of your hard work and dedication. It is making a difference in my child’s life and in mine.” – K.R., Chicago
