Hi There, kids love this place:

Also, TimeOut Chicago http://www.timeout.com/chicago/

Will have some good info on events and other attractions the kiddies like. Walking on the lakefront park and there is some great world class art downtown if the kids like that and don't mind walking a bit... http://wikitravel.org/en/Loop_Art_Tour

Have fun!
