Family Room Membership
A family membership built for real life.
Kids get room to play. Grown-ups get room to work, connect, eat, relax and breathe.
Choose the membership that matches how your family actually uses Family Room.
What you're really joining
Somewhere your whole family actually wants to be.
Why Family Room?
Built for kids. Built for the adults who brought them.
Come when you need us.
Membership gives you a dependable place to go without having to plan another activity every time your family needs out of the house.
Where family life already happens.
Our spaces are in dense Chicago neighborhoods so Family Room can fit between school, daycare, work, errands, activities and home.
Kids play. You can exhale.
Our spaces center unstructured play for children and comfortable places for caregivers to sit, work, have coffee, meet a friend or simply relax.
See them without hovering over them.
Clear sightlines make it easier for caregivers to stay connected to their children while giving kids room to play more independently.
Designed for real family movement.
Strollers, little bodies, bags and different physical needs all require room. Our spaces are designed to make moving through Family Room easier for families.
Family pricing.
Membership is designed around family use rather than turning every visit into another round of per-person purchases.
Bring your own.
Bring lunch, snacks, coffee or whatever your family needs, subject to our house rules.
No constant upsell.
Once you're here, the goal is to use the space — not spend the visit being sold another thing.
Memberships
Choose the way you use Family Room.
Select, House and Signature are family membership tiers. Professional Caregiver Membership is designed specifically for a named nanny, au pair or other professional caregiver.
Select Membership
Your regular Family Room.
$125/month
Best if you primarily use one location.
Select gives your family unlimited access to one Family Room location.
That's your regular place to play, work, meet a friend, eat lunch or simply get out of the house.
Includes
- Unlimited access to one selected Family Room
- Caregiver-present play and coworking
- Family pricing at your selected location
- Member Flex Access at other Family Room locations
- Member childcare available at $30/hour
Visiting another location?
Scan in when you arrive and scan out when you leave.
Member Flex Access is $15/hour, prorated, with a $30 daily maximum.
If you start using other Family Room locations regularly, House probably makes more sense.
Member Flex Access
Your Select location isn't a boundary.
Your day doesn't always stay in one neighborhood.
Select members can use another Family Room whenever they need to.
Scan in when you arrive. Scan out when you leave. You pay only for the time you actually use.
$15/hour · prorated · $30/day maximum
Use multiple locations often? House removes the meter completely.
House Membership
Every Family Room is your Family Room.
$185/month
Best for families whose days don't happen in just one place.
Family life moves around.
One child is at daycare. Another is at school. Later there's an activity across town.
Maybe a sibling needs somewhere to play while you wait.
One day your kids need room to run. The next day they want somewhere quiet to draw, build or settle in.
House means you don't have to decide which Family Room is "your" Family Room.
Choose the space that works for your family that day.
Includes
- Unlimited access to all Family Room locations
- No Member Flex meter
- Caregiver-present play and coworking
- Different spaces for different moods, ages and parts of your day
- Member childcare available at $30/hour
- Family pricing and House-level benefits
Member Childcare
For the little gaps in the day when you just need an hour.
Sometimes you don't need a full-day sitter.
You need enough time to run to the store. Take a shower. Finish a call. Go to an appointment. Exercise. Pick up another child. Or get one thing done without bringing everyone with you.
That's what Family Room Member Childcare is for.
$30/hour for one child
+$5/hour for each additional sibling
How it works
- Available for children of any age
- 1-hour minimum
- Up to 3 hours per booking
- Book additional time in 30-minute increments
- No last-minute booking fee
- Available to Select and House members
- Care takes place onsite at Family Room
Your child stays in a familiar Family Room environment with our trained team while you step out.
Family Room is an insured business, and care happens onsite rather than through an unknown sitter coming into your home.
And if something opens up in your day at the last minute, we don't add a last-minute booking surcharge.
Short, flexible care for the parts of family life that don't justify hiring a sitter for half the day.
Signature Membership
Every Family Room + time back.
$349/month
Best if childcare is already part of your monthly routine.
Signature includes everything in House, plus childcare already built into your month.
Includes
- Unlimited access to all Family Room locations
- No Member Flex meter
- Caregiver-present play and coworking
- 6 prepaid childcare hours each month
- Nearly 10% savings on prepaid childcare hours
- Additional childcare available at the current member rate
- Signature-level member benefits
Regular member childcare is $30/hour.
Six hours purchased separately would cost $180. With Signature, the portion of your membership covering those six prepaid hours works out to about $27.33/hour.
That's about a 9% savings for committing to childcare you already expect to use.
Use those hours to work uninterrupted, run an errand, exercise, make an appointment, take a shower or simply get some time back.
Additional siblings using childcare are +$5/hour each.

For the grown-ups, too
You don't have to entertain your kids every minute.
Family Room is designed so children have room to invent what happens next while caregivers remain nearby.
You can play with them.
Or have coffee.
Open your laptop.
Talk to another grown-up.
Sit down.
You're allowed to relax here, too.
Professional Caregiver Membership
Give your caregiver somewhere better to spend the workday.
$75/month
All Family Room locations · Monday–Friday
Give the professional caregiver your family already employs a Family Room to use with the children in their care during the workweek.
Professional Caregiver Membership includes Monday–Friday access to all Family Room locations for one named nanny, au pair or other professional caregiver.
A family may purchase and pay for the membership, but access belongs only to the assigned professional caregiver.
This is not childcare provided by Family Room.
It gives the caregiver your family already employs a comfortable, useful place to take the children while doing their job.
How it works
- $75/month
- Monday–Friday access
- Access to all Family Room locations
- The family can purchase and pay for it
- The professional caregiver can purchase it
- Assigned to one named professional caregiver
- Only that caregiver may use the membership
- Not transferable to parents, relatives, friends or another caregiver
- Does not include childcare provided by Family Room
This membership exists to support professional caregivers while they are doing their job — not as a discounted family membership.
Not sure?
You don't have to join first.
Family Room isn't members-only.
Come for Drop-In Play or spend a Discovery Day with us before deciding whether membership belongs in your routine.
If you start thinking, "We could come here all the time," that's when membership makes sense.
Membership billing
Your first partial month is prorated. Membership then renews automatically on the 1st of each month.
All memberships have a 30-day minimum term and continue monthly thereafter until cancelled according to Family Room Membership Terms .
Membership use and childcare are subject to Family Room House Rules and applicable childcare policies.
