The Country's Most Kid-Friendly Airports

Three Junior Flyer Clubs, in Terminals B, C, and D, offer a safe place for tots to use up their preflight energy. The Club in Terminal B is the largest of the bunch and features a runway, roadway, airplane, and control tower, and a new play area in Terminal A is features an interactive screen that tracks kids' movements. The Skylink tram system is a fun way to ride around and explore one of the busiest airports in the country.

O'Hare boasts two play areas for traveling tots. In Terminal 2, Chicago Children's Museum's Kids on the Fly exhibit offers aviation-related educational activities. In Terminal 5, the Play it Safe exhibit, sponsored by the Chicago Fire Department and Chicago Children's Museum, teaches tots about fire and home safety. Both areas are completely handicap-accessible.

Got more time to kill? The Airport Transit System is a fun (and free) tram ride that connects terminals. Kids will also love checking on the 72-foot-long Brachiosaurus model in Terminal 1 and the replica World War II fighter plane in Terminal 2.

In Terminals A and C, Logan offers two play spaces. Dubbed Kidport, both are designed by Playtime LLC, a company dedicated to building safe, soft play areas for kids. The Terminal A Kidport includes a tot-size replica of the airport's actual control tower, slides, and more. In Terminal C, there's a carpet designed to look like an airfield, and a mural of the sky to give the feeling of being midair.

For parents traveling with babies, there are rocking chairs throughout the airport, plus rooms dedicated specifically to nursing mamas.
