Lincoln Square is a historically-German Chicago neighborhood at the Western stop of the Brown Line. This fun neighborhood is anchored by Giddings Plaza, a pedestrian plaza with a historic-looking fountain just east of Lincoln Avenue between Leland and Lawrence. Its location just off the L and with narrow streets makes it a pedestrian-friendly location with lots of unique shops and restaurants for families to explore.

Many families come to Lincoln Square for its street festivals or for a concert at The Old Town School of Folk Music, which is not actually located in Old Town. But there's plenty to do, see, hear, and eat even after those events are over. Here are some great things to do with kids in the Lincoln Square neighborhood.

UNLIMITED ICE CREAM. For us, and I'm assuming for most families, that's the biggest attraction at the Museum of Ice Cream Chicago. Here, you can eat your way through an imaginative world of sweetness, along with one weird savory treat, and take plenty of selfies along the way. So purchase a ticket to the Museum of Ice Cream Chicago, and arrive with an empty stomach.

When you first walk into Chicago's CAMP, it looks like a toy store filled with games, puzzles, figurines, balls, scooters and more. But I'd actually describe it as a "purveyor of fun." Much more than a store, CAMP hosts events, shows, and immersive experiences for kids. We were lucky enough to check out their Doodles X CAMP immersive experience, and it was a great time. Buy tickets for Doodles X CAMP for a chance to peek behind the magic door and see what's there.
