Oak Park's main library sits right on Scoville Park, with a spacious, bright second-floor children's department that has puzzles, toys, and a pretend-play corner and several story times a week; step outside and the park playground is waiting once the rain stops.

💡 Tips
Open all day on weekends. Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio is a 10-minute walk, so there's something for the grown-ups too.
