My kids, 6 and 9, loved the Obama Presidential Center playground. Here’s what parents should know before going.

When the Obama Presidential Center opened its doors earlier this summer, so many things caught my eye.

The 19.3-acre campus within Chicago’s Jackson Park is home to beautiful native gardens, contemporary art, and historical artifacts.

Truly, all things I want to experience.

But as a mom with two kids who usually have some serious energy to burn, I was also quite thrilled to see how extensive the playground is.

It’s one of the largest outdoor playgrounds my children, 6 and 9, have had the chance to explore.

It’s split between two levels and offers a multitude of activities for kids of different ages and abilities.

Here’s what my family of four experienced during our visit on a cloudy summer evening.
