KidsWork, which is the only children’s museum in Will County, opened in 2007 in a 6,500-square-foot building in Frankfort, according to the release. The museum attracts 40,000 visitors per year so it outgrew the space.Belinda Basso, president of the KidsWork Children’s Museum Board, said New Lenox officials offered a space to build a 12,000-square-foot facility plus an additional 4,200-square-foot outdoor play and picnic area, which was an offer museum officials “just couldn’t refuse.
The board is planning new exhibits such as a water feature, climbing exhibits or even a soundproof room for a drumming exhibit, Basso said. The museum hasn’t had an outdoor space before, Basso said, so the board is discussing outdoor climbing areas and garden exhibits.
