Color Factory Chicago

"This place has the cutest photo back drops. All rooms are fairly interactive! The ball put at the end is my favorite! There are cameras built in the walls to take your photos! I love the concept because all you have to do is scan the QR code! Be prepared to have your sweet tooth satisfied! Always a blast"

"You’ve never truly experienced color until you’ve visited The Color Factory! You will not only see color, but feel, taste, and smell it through hands-on activities in its many themed areas. We loved the music and in retrospect I am wondering if it was selected so you can hear color. Great for kids of all ages and adults, too! Many opportunities for fun family photos. Worth the money to experience it, but I’d definitely look for specials if there’s more than a few in your group."

"My experience here was much better than I had expected. There were so many different engaging activities throughout, and not just photo ops. First thing to note is that I decided to bring some family friends that don’t speak English; I was hoping it could be an experience we could enjoy together beyond the language barrier. It worked out fine. A few staff members spoke Spanish, and they had a Spanish guide that we were able to carry throughout the exhibits. There were definitely some nuances that the family missed but the entire experience was magical from the moment we stepped inside, and there were so many different kinds of treats throughout the rooms. All of your senses were activated! There were also plenty of activities for both kids and adults. One really cool feature was the placement of cameras that you could activate with the QR code and FREE download of your photos through email. The tickets were expensive for a big group, but we stayed and played in each room, spending almost two full hours inside. We got our money’s worth."

"My favourite thing I did in Chicago, by far. The fact that they set it up to take your photo at multiple points and send them to your email (for free) is genius. There were snack opportunities (not super vegan friendly), lots of fun experiences/sights, and even a complementary souvenir. The staff was nice and coat check was free. I really enjoyed my time here! Parking can suck though, so plan accordingly for the walking you'll likely be doing to even arrive."

"What an amazing way to spend a cold and windy Chicago day. This place was amazing and had my four year old son entertained for hours. He did not want to leave. The ticket value is worth it! There is so much more to the experience than I even thought. This was after reading the details on their website. The experience members were all amazing and kind. I think what made it so enjoyable was knowing that i didn’t have to worry about taking photos or videos because of all the amazing photo opportunities along the way. Photos that are completely free! Unlike other places that charge crazy amounts of money for just a single photo. Excited to come back again soon"
