Plus Parking Membership

Plus Parking is an option added to a Chicago Children’s Museum membership. With a Plus Parking membership, Chicago Children’s Museum members have up to 8 FREE parks at Navy Pier garages during museum visits with children.

Plus Parking Membership Information and Agreement

  • CCM’s Plus Parking benefit is specifically for parking during visits to Chicago Children's Museum with your children. It is not designed to accommodate parking independently of museum use.

    • The Plus Parking benefit includes 8 free parks (for up to 5 hours per visit) in the Navy Pier parking garages. 

    • The Plus Parking benefit expires within one year of the purchase or the end of the membership term, whichever term ends first.  

    • If at the expiration of the membership, there are parks left on the parking benefit, members have 30 days to transfer the parks to a renewed membership.

    • If all 8 parks are used within the membership term, an active member can purchase another Parking Plus add-on of 8 parks for $150. The renewed add-on will expire at the end of the membership, unless there is a membership renewal within 30 days of the expiration of the membership.

  • Parking add-ons are non-transferable and non-refundable. 

  • Plus Parking Membership provides a maximum of 1 free parking validation per membership per day, subject to garage availability. The parking validation coupon cannot be combined with any other parking offer, validation, or valet rate. Free parking validation is good ONLY for parking at the Navy Pier garage (600 E. Grand Avenue).

  • Parking validation coupons are issued ONLY during the museum’s operating hours at the Tickets Desk. The CCM Gift Shop cannot issue Navy Pier parking validations.

  • The Plus Parking benefit is non-refundable. In addition, any parking fees paid in the Navy Pier garage or at other garages are non-refundable.

  • The Navy Pier garage is first-come, first-serve. Parking at another garage is at the member’s expense. There are no reserved spots for CCM members. On busy days (e.g., holidays, summer weekends, and special events), the Navy Pier garage may fill up and temporarily close. On those occasions, Plus Parking level members must either wait until Navy Pier security reopens the garage or park elsewhere at their own expense. Members are advised to arrive early on busy days and check the Navy Pier website for special events that may impact parking.

  • Plus Parking level members must show a photo ID each time they visit the museum. Membership benefits are not transferable. Caregiver names must be pre-designated and included on the membership. Parking validations are only available to Plus Parking members, and the member or designated caregiver must be present with children to receive the parking validation.

  • Plus Parking level members must present a same-day Navy Pier parking ticket at CCM’s Membership Desk to receive parking validation. The Navy Pier parking validation coupon must be redeemed on the date received. Do not pay for parking in advance.

  • CCM’s Plus Parking membership offer is NOT available to Navy Pier employees, MPEA employees officed at Navy Pier, Navy Pier vendors, or employees of Navy Pier merchants or tenants.
