<\/a><\/p>\nMother\u2019s Room<\/strong><\/h4>\nThere is a small mother\u2019s room in Concourse C. (Turn right after exiting security.)\u00a0 Inside you\u2019ll find a comfy chair for feeding or pumping, a changing area, sink and hand sanitizer. A television shows nature images while soothing spa music plays.<\/p>\n
Yoga Room<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe Yoga Room is next to the Mother\u2019s Room and has the same television and zen tunes found in the Mother\u2019s Room. There are yoga mats, sanitizer, mirrors on one wall, and a decent amount of room to move. It\u2019s a great option for little yogis. More schools are yoga or meditation into the school day, but even if it\u2019s new to your child or to you, doing some easy stretches like reaching to the ceiling and touching toes as well as taking some deep belly breaths can be a great way for passengers of all ages to find inner peace (or get out some of the wiggles). This lovely sanctuary from the bustle of the airport has been empty all but one time I\u2019ve used it – it\u2019s the best kept secret at Midway.<\/p>\n

What to see<\/strong><\/h4>\nMidway does not have a specific children\u2019s area, but the B3 bomber suspended over the entrance to Concourse A gets some \u201coohs\u201d and \u201caahs.\u201d Have kids compare it to the planes they see on the tarmac. There\u2019s also a memorial to the Battle of Midway that can be good for older kids interested in history or the military and even those who aren\u2019t may enjoy seeing the photos of World War II era pilots.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nIn the retail realm, Kids Works is a store with all kinds of toys and items for little ones located not far past security.<\/p>\n
Pro tip: if you want to avoid them seeing the candy store that\u2019s right by the start of Concourse B, point out the gates on your right and have smaller kids find the gate number, have older kids guess where each plane is headed.<\/p>\n
Where to hang out<\/strong><\/h4>\nMidway Airport is in the middle of a renovation that promises more concession space and options.\u00a0(The most progress has been made in Concourse A.) The food court area is bright and spacious, with lots of places to charge and seating options.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nKids love the pod-like seats. Many tables have a good view of planes. If you have time to kill, this is a good spot to park for a bit.<\/p>\n
Where and what to eat<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe good news: many restaurants have kids\u2019 menus. The bad news: those menus are often tiny, with some offering just one option and many giving only two. Just look at it as a way to keep your likely already overstimulated child from getting overwhelmed, but check to make sure there\u2019s something they like before waiting in line.<\/p>\n
Concourse A has lots of new restaurants, including some avant garde\u00a0<\/em>options, such as Arami that offers sushi, and traditional Chicago favorites, like Billy Goat Tavern. The latter has one of the larger children\u2019s menus we saw with four options, including chicken tenders. Those aren\u2019t common, although Reilly\u2019s Daughter offers boneless wings. Neapolitan Pizzeria offers a pizetta for kids. If you\u2019re more of a burger connoisseur, check out True Burger. They don\u2019t have seating but are all close to the food court seating. Reilly\u2019s Daughter and Midway Pour House both have seating.<\/p>\nWe prefer that food court to the one between Concourses A and B, just past security. It\u2019s darker and doesn\u2019t have a view. That said, it is home to De Colores, which has tacos and burritos, meaning Taco Tuesday (or any other day of the week) can definitely happen. In Concourse B, big and littles also has tacos, including poke tacos for adults and a kids menu with fish or beef tacos.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Concourse B, there isn\u2019t a nifty seating area at the moment like there is in Concourse A.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nMost people just bring food to the gate and if you\u2019re going that route, check out the mac-n-cheese on the kids menu at Pork Chop. Windy City Tap Room has seating and its kids menu consists of grilled cheese and chicken fingers. Glacier City Frozen yogurt can be a fun treat \u2013 it is towards the end of the concourse.<\/p>\n
For breakfast, my favorite is The Market in Concourse B, which has both an assortment of muffins, breakfast sandwiches and fruit, as well as juices and milk. They also have peanut butter and jelly. There are also several Dunkin\u2019 carts in both concourses.<\/p>\n
Safe and happy travels this holiday season!<\/p>\n
