Little Lake County turns six years old in 2016–We’re big kids now!
In that time, we’ve learned a thing or two about throwing a birthday party…and we know it’s just no fun to celebrate alone. So we’re inviting you to climb aboard The Little Lake County Birthday Express! We’ll be making stops at five (5) locations in and around Lake County with our friends from Bright Horizons to celebrate with FREE birthday party playdates for our readers.
Birthday Express Stop #3 – Tuesday, February 23, 2016 at 10:00 a.m.
Brainstorm
625 N. Bridgeport Terrace, Lindenhurst
(847) 265-0610 | Facebook
*This event is best suited for children ages 3 and older.
Brainstorm is a unique educational retail store located in Lindenhurst that is owned and operated by a local family. They boast a unique product selection of toys and gifts to educate, create and inspire with free gift wrapping year round! On Tuesdays and Wednesdays through March 9th, drop in for their FREE Winter Storytime. Brainstorm was one of our 12 Shops of Christmas in 2014 as well as the proud sponsor of our Little Lake County Homeschool Resource Guide.
But a birthday party just isn’t complete without some party animals! Joining the fun will be our friends from Animal Quest. They will be bringing their exciting and educational animal presentation. Guests will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with live animals. Have your cameras ready for some great photo opportunities!
Animal Quest brings their expertise and love of animals all over Chicagoland to birthday parties, schools, libraries, festivals and more. Learn more about how Melissa’s son had an unforgettable birthday thanks to Animal Quest (see all the party photos.)
At each of our birthday party playdates, enjoy samples of Qwackers to fuel your fun! Qwackers are gluten free, GMO free, soy free, corn free and sugar free which means more of our little friends can enjoy them.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you at Birthday Express Stop #3 at Brainstorm in Lake Villa with Animal Quest! Admission is FREE but you’ll need a ticket for yourself and your kids to enter.
