"Local learning and some hands-on fun!"
This museum has added a new exhibit that we haven't had a chance to visit yet "Animal Architects." It goes through February 21, 2010. The website says kids can crawl through a beaver lodge, try building a nest, and look at live insects building homes together.
Tuesdays are discount days where kids get in free and adults are just $3. That's when I'd recommend going, as I don't feel it's worth the regular admission price (though the website does offer a $1 off coupon if Tuesdays don't work for you).
If it's a nice day, you can enjoy a picnic at the adjacent Lakewood Forest Preserve.

"Small museum with big ideas"
The Lake County Discovery Museum tries really hard to be something more than it currently is for families. And for that I am grateful. It's really close, included in our reciprocal membership and offers lots of activities throughout the year.
The last time we were there we only stayed for a couple of hours but the kids had a good time pretending, even in the history section, which I would've thought they'd be bored in.
The new exhibit just opened and we'll be going soon to see it: Prehistoric Lake County. I'll update once we've been there!
