One of the Best Free Things to Do in Naperville This Weekend

Touch-A-Truck is a beloved annual highlight that turns the museum’s parking lot into a playground of trucks, loaders, and more. It’s designed for the whole family to enjoy without breaking the bank.

What to Expect at Touch-A-Truck

Get up close with a variety of real vehicles including moving trucks, garbage trucks, sleeper trucks, and more from local partners like Reebie Moving and Storage, Groot, Navistar, and Naperville Public Works. Kids can touch, explore, and let their imaginations run wild with transportation-themed activities.

Additional hands-on elements include a Big Van Wash, mini muddy car wash, sensory bins, and a Blu Track racing station. Shaved ice will be available for purchase to keep everyone cool.
