We won’t let your rocket boys and girls burn out their fuse up here alone. We have back-up in the form of some very special guests….

Our new friends from Hot Ground Gym™ will challenge your school-age children (ages 5 and up only) with their mobile obstacle course to test their endurance, balance and agility. Learn more about their program in Alli’s Hot Ground Gym Review.

For younger children, our friends from Busy Brains Children’s Museum will share their traveling exhibits that encourage learning, motor skills and discovery.

Because active kids need wholesome fuel for their playground adventures, our Official Snack Sponsor GoGo squeeZ will provide samples of their scrumptiously squeezable YogurtZ pouches at every stop on our tour. YogurtZ is “So Cool, It Doesn’t Have To Be Cold.” First come, first served – supplies are limited.
Please give a round of applause to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville for making this year’s tour possible. Parents will get to meet with folks from both Advocate Condell Medical Center and Advocate Children’s Hospital to learn about the resources available to support your family’s health.

As if you needed more reason to join us, your kids will have a chance to test out Stomp Rocket, the original 100% KID-powered rockets for active, outdoor fun. Run, jump, STOMP and send your rockets up to 400 feet in the air. We’ll select one lucky winner to receive a Stomp Rocket of their own at every stop on our tour!

Finally, our first 100 registered guests who check-in at Tour Stop #1 will receive a card good for one complimentary fountain drink with entree purchase at Roti Modern Mediterranean with suburban locations in Vernon Hills, Deerfield, Northbrook and coming soon to Kildeer.

It’s a Playground-Palooza at Cynthia T. Peterson Park with Little Lake County and Advocate Condell Medical Center. Register NOW to Rock the Playground at our series launch on Wednesday, June 14, 2017.
