Chicago has great museums but the museum I would give an A for most engaging for all ages is the Shedd Aquarium.
Our little guy seems to be at the perfect age to start enjoying aquariums. He is fascinated by fish and plants which there are a lot of at the Shedd.
We spent the morning of the Fourth riding the bus (which he LOVES) and exploring the Shedd.
For those of you that live in Illinois you can get into the Shedd for free on Illinois Resident Days. For Chicago residents, a tool we use often is the Kid Pass. If you have a Chicago Public Library card you can check out Kid Passes which will admit two adults and two kids in for free. For all you educators out there the Shedd allows educators in for free.

{In the spirit of Independence Day my family wore red, white and blue. My dress is from J.Crew, my belt H&M, shoes GAP. My little guy is wearing a BabyGap chambray shirt and his green pants were a gift. His shoes are Timberlands. Our out and about baby gear is the 300 Series Stroller from BabyCargo, the Baby Cargo Georgi* diaper bag and the Boba Air*.}
