Between Valentine's Day, Groundhog Day, and Black History Month, there are tons of fun things to do with kids in Chicago this February 2024. Here's a list of the best.

Looking for things to do in February with kids? Let's be honest; every Chicagoan is relieved that it's a short month, but there are so many fun holidays and celebrations!

Start the month off with Groundhog Day—celebrate by seeing where the movie was filmed in far northwest suburban Woodstock. On the first Saturday of the month, Chicago families can celebrate National Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day at Jeni's stores in the city and suburbs. Celebrate Valentine's Day with the kids by dancing away the night at the Love Bug Dance in Naperville. February is Black History Month, and families can learn more at the Chicago History Museum and celebrate Black communities at Homan Square Park.
