Have Questions & Suggestions?
Oaklee's Family Guide was started in 1999 by suburban Chicago moms who wanted to know the activities for kids around town. We figured that if we were looking for a family guide, then we knew other busy parents and caregivers needed it too! Our tree mascot, Oaklee, represents that gathering place in the neighborhood where friends go to hear about the family events, latest festival, party place, or great coupon. We hope that Oaklee's Family Guide helps you to make the most of the precious and fleeting time with your kids in Chicago!
For the latest in events in Chicago and family friendly places in Chicago for kids, use the search buttons on the home page. Or, to find individual businesses select the tabs for Schools for private schools, as an example, or Party Places and Services for birthday party options.

As a busy mompreneur, I know how hard it is to juggle everything. That's why I love providing a resource that makes it easy for moms to find time and places for family fun. Creating family memories is so important!
As a new parent you can often feel isolated and alone, especially if you don't have family around. Oaklee's Family Guide gave me a way to reach into my community, get out there, and start making memories with my little girl. Priceless memories and new friends...what more could a mommy ask for?!
Even though I work for Oaklee’s guide, I use it the same as any other mom. I plan our activities based on the calendar and the ads and use the coupons as well. Mom’s who use Oaklee’s Guide are the mom’s who know about the best festivals, classes, activities and events. I have been a loyal part of the Oaklee’s Community since I started my family and will be for years to come.

Oaklee's Family Guide allows me to be introduced to people who have worked hard to provide products and/or services that help families enhance their experiences and create memories in the Chicagoland area.

Ever since I was a child my parents always took my brother and I to events and interesting places in our community and beyond both for pleasure and enrichment. In continuing that tradition,) Oaklee’s is a wonderful resource that helps me with planning for my own family, and has given me some unique ideas for upcoming birthday parties as well!

I love working at Oaklee’s Guide because of the our family-focused mission and spirit of teamwork. We are always searching for the next great “family find” whether it’s an event, product or service. It’s great to work for an organization whose main objective is to help busy families find wholesome ways to spend more quality time together.

Oaklee’s allows me to work in an area that is relevant to the growth of healthy families. I feel like I can give back to the community on two levels by serving families and local businesses.
