Things To Do in Chicago this Weekend with Kids: Tree Lightings, Frozen, Theater
It's beginning to look a lot like you-know-what around Chicago this weekend, with festive Christmas tree lightings in Bolingbrook and at New City, as well as the dazzling Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light at the Museum of Science and Industry. Christkindlmarket returns to Daley Plaza, and families can tour beautifully decorated homes at the Wheaton Holiday Housewalk. And holiday theatre season kicks off with A Christmas Carol at the Goodman Theatre and the Emerald City Theater's production of Corduroy, based on the beloved children's book.
The snow and chilly temps in Chicago have at least one upside: Consider us well-prepped for the release of Frozen 2, coming up at the end of the month. Three fun, Frozen-themed events for kids this weekend set the stage for a deep freeze: a FREE sing-along showing of Frozen in Elmhurst, a kid-friendly live theater production of Elsa and Anna's tale from the Northbrook Theater Youth Company, and a girl-powered Frozen Power Tea Party in celebration of Frozen 2's fearless heroines in Brookfield.
Can't get enough frozen stuff? FREE ice skating at Millennium Park McCormick Tribune Rink starts this weekend, too. For even more fun things to do with kids in Chicago, keep an eye on our event calendar. Stay warm, and pass the hot chocolate.
