If you can't make it to Florida or California for the Universal Studios Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks, no worries! You can have a one-of-a-kind Harry Potter experience much closer to home!

A new pop-up experience called "Magic at Play" is headed to Chicago later on this year. The special event will take place at Water Tower Place on Michigan Avenue from November 11th of 2022 to May 14th of 2023. What exactly will the experience entail? The official website reads:

"Explore, climb, and play your way through three floors of fun inspired by Harry’s own adventures in discovering the wizarding world, packed with playful celebrations of your favorite places and moments."

The website also says that the experience is for all ages of Harry Potter fans, and will include "hands-on games, activities, and surprises." Guests will be able to order a Butterbeer or a treat from Honeydukes, plus make a stop at the Magic at Play Gift Shop, which will be open to the public. I cannot recommend Butterbeer enough! It's SO GOOD.
