O'Hare International Airport, Chicago
Terminal 2
At the permanent Kids on the Fly exhibit, your child's imagination will take flight as she mans the air-traffic-control tower or lands a fantasy helicopter or cargo plane.

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
Terminals B and C
This summer the airport unveils two mock runways, as well as bridges, cars, planes, luggage, and air-traffic-control towers, in its Landing Zone play areas, which are decorated with vivid murals of airplanes and brightly colored, padded floors.

The one at ORD is in cooperation with the local children's museum which seems like a great combo.

The new International terminal D at DFW as a McDonald's with several free electronic games and a play car to play on. DFW also has some for unaccompanied kids and groups that aren't open to individual travelers.

LIT has a small game room near the end of the terminal with 4 coin operated games for older kids.


Moscow (SVO) has a restaurant on the lower level that has a fabulous play room in a separate room complete with a sign in and attendant for restaurant guest.

Atlanta Has one at C-24, none in D terminal and I can't remember the locations in A, B, E, and T.


These Play areas are great for travelers without kids because the kids are not screaming in the business travelers ears at the gate.
