Chicago’s Balloon Museum features 18 rooms of interactive! inflatable art, color, and emotion, including the biggest balloon ball pit. EmotionAir by the Balloon Museum is an immersive experience that transforms inflatable art into an emotional journey.
This exhibition invites you to play, reflect, and explore, with every room evoking a different feeling. The contrasts between rooms are striking, from bright color and motion to darkness and sound.
Designed by world-renowned contemporary artists, EmotionAir combines creativity and craftsmanship, making it an amazing experience for both kids and adults. However, some darker rooms may be intense for very young children.
EmotionAir is open in Chicago now through April 6, 2026. Author's note: Unique art experience in Chicago.
