    Camp is in an amazing experience for any kid interested in imagination. The workers are very diligent in catering to kids desires per a particular theme. The time we visited, they had camp that related to Bluey. For those not familiar with Bluey, Bluey is an imaginary character, which is a dog on a cartoon based out of Australia. The camp setting basically takes you to Bluey and the healers household, where you could play and do activities and games with the staff in each of the rooms of the house. It is very interactive and kids are able to not only have fun, but use their imagination to take them to a reality of a Bluey house. The value of admission is not cheap. Depending on the time of day the day of the week and the period during the year tickets can go anywhere from $35 to 50+ dollars. Given the experience, though, it's totally worth it if it makes your kids happy.

    We went to the Bluey Experience last month. We had a blast! My daughter loved it! There's a lot of different areas to play and really use your imagination. And I love the photo opportunity at the end. The tickets can be pricey, and I wish they had a lower rate for adults, but it's to be expected. The store itself is nice too. Of course it's a child's dream to run through and buy all the things. I joined the top bunk club and get 15% off all toys. They forgot to apply it to my bill when I checked out, and my husband emailed them shortly after and they quickly refunded me the difference. That was nice! They have free parking available in the attached garage but it's not much. We had to park across the street, luckily we had the correct parking zone permits.

    We've been here twice - once for doodles and again for Bluey exhibit, it's a lot of fun for kids and they do a great job with the sets and story interactions produced by the staff. Overall this was a really special experience for my kids and I would take them back again!

    This place runs revolving themes to provide an unique immersive experience for kids. Bluey was the theme during my visit. There is free parking available in the adjoining parking garage, just make sure that you park in one of the correct designated spots. There is also electrical vehicle spots available. I had no problem finding a spot and there were many still available. I highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance before your visit because their are only limited slots available and sell out fast. Once you arrive you check in at the desk that in conveniently located in the gift store. The gift store had a regular sized pick-up truck that you could get in for photos and also had a pop-a-shot on the back bed. The store was packed with a bunch of Bluey merchandise, which was surprisingly reasonably priced. There is a room in the back that your likes can color pages for free or paint pottery, pillows or paper mache at an additional cost. You will also find a Schmutz Schtation Slime Bar where you can use your creativity to make your own slime at an additional cost. The staff there was amazing. They were very friendly, engaging, and really into their roles. they kept the kids engaged during their entire designated time slot. The Bluey set was well planned out and constructed. It had a lot of attention to detail. You start your journey to "Australia" by walking down a hallway where the Bluey theme is played by the kids moving along the floor. They then use the magical feather to turn one of the staff members and then parents into "farm animals". There is Bluey's kitchen, her living room, her bedroom, a slide, a tunnel, a tent, doctor and a pillow/blanket fort. During our visit to Bluey land they had a dance party, played the freeze game, had story time, had the doctor diagnose them played keep the ball up and had the opportunity to be grannies, and just walking around from room to room, taking it all in. You end the tour by walking through a secret door and finding Bluey and Bingo where you have the opportunity to take a picture with them. They offer professional photos or they will happily take a picture with your own cell phone, which I rarely see, but greatly appreciated. They took a picture of my littles by theirselves and then with us in it with them. The entire thing lasted about 45 minutes from entering the hallway entrance to leaving the picture area with Bluey. They crammed a lot in that time frame and my kids really enjoyed it and had fun. And really for me, that is all that mattered. This is a really good family event for the littles. If cost is an issue you may just want to have one caregiver accompany the littles because there is no discount for adults and you have to pay full admission even though they are more than likely there to just watch the littles. I give this place my stamp of approval and highly recommend it.

    My kids absolutely loved the Bluey Camp while in Chicago, they went from room to room to enjoy all the different activities they prepared for the kids and took a photo with Bluey at the end of the tour. The souvenir shop was reasonable and overall this was a great experience. The value for everything was perfect.

    Camp is the perfect place for kids and families. They have an outstanding selection of gifts and toys, many exclusive. But more than that they offer experiences. The Bluey immersive experience is unreal, we are doing it for the second time today. An hour plus w the characters, reading stories, seeing their home, singing songs. And everyone who works there is amazing. Check it out!

    My daughter loved her time at Bluey camp. She played keepy uppy, she hung out in Bluey and Bingo's room, she loved the kitchen. If it could be done, seen, sat on, touched, slid down. She definitely did it

    We came to see Bluey last Friday for my son's fourth birthday. He absolutely loved it. It was a great experience. Everyone was super friendly. This is not cheap though it was $80 just for me and my child to go and it was about a little under an hour, this was something I asked grandparents for as a gift though my child loved it

    It's Chicago, so expect pricey, especially since your time is limited in the back room. Lots of fun, interactive things to do. You even get a bracelet that is used for a Scavenger hunt to earn props for a virtual character. Again, more time to experience it all would have been great, but at least it wasn't crazy crowded

    There's a few one star reviews and I was hesitant on making this place a destination for our Chicago trip but it was honestly so much fun for our family of three. Our son is five if that gives you any context for age. All three of the employees we interacted with were so engaging with the kids. I personally loved going into Doodle world and it was interactive for all of us to go on a scavenger hunt. I thought my five year old would be gone from the hunt but he was determined to find all the checkins. I LOVED that at the end we got a sticker printed of our custom made doodle. We did not add on any of the extra activities because of the negative reviews so I can't speak on those. The only thing that sucked was a grandma was yelling at her kids not to jump into the ball pit next to my kid and another kid. There were no signs saying they couldn't jump, it just said watch out for littles. Geesh let them be kids. Normally I would tell my son some people have different rules for their families and tell him to wait until they were gone to jump but we paid to be there and you only get an hour so jump son. Grandma was not happy and I saw her complaining to staff after. Things like that just suck because she probably got some sort of discount for being lame while we're having the time of our life and paying full price.

    Take your kid to a wild Bee and Puppy cat / Adventure Time inspired play world here. Thru a secret passage behind what appears to be a simple toy store (at $40 a person not including kids guardian), your kids go a fun technology and craft aided adventure. Sort of a modern more focused Chuck E Cheese, our nephew loved it and had a great time. Make reservations ahead of time and get there early. You have to wait in line even with a reservation which is weird. Staff was friendly and nice. Everything was pricy but the kids had a blast.

    OMG!! Definitely worth the money! My kids had a lot of fun!! We did too! So much to do and the hosts were amazing playing with all the kids.

We ended up upgrading our class to include paint as well as we got to know that without the paint we won't be able to use the things we made of it involves water. My friend made a cute cup and I made a not so cute vase. I would definitely say that but the end of the class, we were rushing a bit and would have appreciated some help and tips from the teachers but we didn't get any. We had to constantly ask about things and where the brushes were and where the paints were. Since it was our first ever class, we would have appreciated a bit more help from the teachers in managing our time and helpful tips on how to glaze correctly instead of having to ask everything ourselves when we are already rushing. Regardless, we had a lot of fun and can't wait to pick up our pieces soon!

I'd been to the ones on Southport and on Wells but it was interesting to see the difference in merchandise here. It makes sense--this location seemed to have more office-type merchandise, and for a location in the Loop what better place to sell office supplies? Heck, I even had to stop myself from buying some of the cute office stuff they have here, and I only work two days per week in the office and still don't have my office space fully set up at home. If you need a last-minute card, even if it's beyond the standard congratulations or birthday, this is a great place to stop. And it's directly across the street from the Clark postal station, so may as well get it in the mail immediately before you forget! They had several board games. I'm a board gamer but usually don't play the ones that get mass market attention, and I saw some more niche ones like Steam Up which was truly surprising. I'm not sure who's coming here to buy them but I am totally in favor of stores supporting small publishers. I also saw journals, notepads, coffee cups, and so on. There's no parking here given its location in the loop. Train, bus, and/or foot will be your options.

Our hotel was only a 10 minute walk from Pop Mart so my friends and I knew we had to drop by. This store is a lot larger than ours in San Diego so there was ample space to walk around and I didn't feel super pressured by others. The team here greeted us right away and asked if we needed a shopping bag, I was only getting one and I knew having a shopping bag would definitely cause me to add more. They had so many options for Cry Baby I really want them all but only chose one. Obviously they're blind boxes so I ended up opening it in store and immediately latching it to my purse. Again there were so many options, I even saw the tempura shrimp Labubu ipod case. I would have snagged it by my friend bought it for me for my birthday. If you're in Chicago and shopping I'd definitely drop by here and pick up a little trinket instead. The prices do range depending on what you purchase but I think mine was $32? So worth it for me.
