It's a 190 North for kids and by kids!
Our gang steps aside and lets a few budding young reporters take the reins to show us the coolest and hippest kid-friendly spots Chicago has to offer!
We check out a mobile Dinosaur museum to visit some prehistoric pets, and become junior zoo-keepers for the day!
Plus, we head on down to Kline Creek Farm, and we get our Harry Potter on at Magicquest!
We also profile a rising blues star at Buddy Guys!
Kline Creek Farm
Moms, dads and children alike, you can now travel back in time! That's right, it's all thanks to a suburban destination where you can get a glimpse of what life was like back in the 1890's! Mark Nilsson & his pint-sized co-host visited the Kline Creek Farm!

Dinosauria
If your family thought the closest they'd get to dinosaurs is seeing them at the museum, think again! Two Park Ridge natives are giving kids a hands-on look at real dino-fossils through their fun, educational program! Janet's enlisted budding paleontologist, Sydney Torres, and together, they caught the prehistoric scoop on Dinosauria! For more information: www.dinosauria.biz
