Things to do with two 14 year olds and a 10 year old in chicago?|186027

We live near Chicago so we have been to all the museums and stuff. Are there any good arcades or amusement parks in less than a 45 minute distance. Not Great America to expensive. Thanks to any reply.

This water park is much more reasonable than Great America and a lot of fun.
