“As a family-friendly hotel, we wanted to offer guests a safe and exciting way to play during their stay with us this spring,” said Jim Marino, general manager, Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel. “The Chicago Children’s Museum is a beloved family institution in Chicago, and this partnership allows us to showcase our existing family offerings while supporting children’s mental health and development through these challenging times.”
