Best Things To Do in Chicago in March with Kids: Egg Hunts, Superheroes, and Maple Syrup
Spring has sprung, just in the nick of time for Chicago parents who are starting to lose their sanity in the snow. Early March is maple syrup season, and families can learn how it's made at events all over town. Get out of the lingering cold by visiting newly reopened museums like the Museum of Contemporary Art or the Chicago History Museum, which reopens on Chicago's birthday! The Museum of Science and Industry celebrates Marvel superheroes, or families can play and learn about Pac-Man at a new exhibit at Chicago GameSpace.
If you missed big celebrations during the winter holidays, now might be a good time to put on some green for St. Patrick's Day events like Oak Forest Fleadh or Shamrock Our Blocks, which replace the South Side Irish Parade this year. And Easter egg hunts are popping up—try something different this year with a geocaching egg hunt or a brought-to-your-yard egg hunt. Welcome to spring, Chicago.
While we are trying to promote safer activities that occur outdoors or with social distancing guidelines in place, please keep your family and others safe by always wearing a mask and maintaining an appropriate distance. If you arrive at an event that appears too crowded, try using the “nearby” search feature on our event calendar to find something else to do.
