Indoor Places to Go

We always loved going to the Chicago Toy and Game Fair (ChiTAG)! It’s the biggest toy and game fair in North America that’s open to the public and it’s so fun to check out the newest toys and games. The fair went virtual for the last couple years, so there’s a lot of excitement this year as it goes back to an in-person event and moves to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont. Mark your calendar for December 10, 2022 from 10am-6pm and December 11 from 10am-5pm. And we are giving away a family pack, which includes five tickets to each day of the fair and parking!

This article is sponsored by the Chicago Toy and Game Fair, but all opinions are my own.

ChiTAG gives you the opportunity to review, play with, and test the hottest toys and games from around the world, many of which haven’t even hit the shelves yet! You may even be able to meet the inventors. There’s a huge variety of companies there, from small family businesses that have a passion for their products to large corporations with many divisions of toys and games that have previews of their newest creations.

You’ll also be in Rosemont, where there are so many other fun things to do too! The Chicago Wolves Ice Skating Rink at Parkway Bank Park is close by and free (skate rental is available for $8). There are several restaurants around the rink to choose from, an AMC movie theater and more. Sparkle Light Festival is also a few minutes away!
