Event Network, a leading operator of retail stores for experiential attractions in the US, has announced its new partnership with the Obama Presidential Center, a 19.3-acre campus in Chicago’s historic Jackson Park.

Visitors will discover a global destination that tells the story of the Obamas and the power of ordinary people coming together to do extraordinary things.


They can get a close-up look at life in the Obama White House and explore the movements that shaped President and Mrs Obama, brought to life through engaging exhibits, unique artefacts, and hands-on interactions.

The Museum presents the remarkable story of President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, America’s first Black president and First Lady.

Spanning four floors, the exhibits explore the promise of democracy and the work of the Obama Presidency. Their challenges and accomplishments are rooted in the stories of the people, events, and policies that shaped them and continue to shape their legacy.

More than a museum

The campus aims to inspire, empower, and connect people to make a difference in their world through a variety of public spaces. Visitors can explore the Museum to discover the innovators behind democracy, enjoy the outdoors at the Women’s Garden or Wetland Walk, or relax with a book at the new Chicago Public Library branch.

The Obama Presidential Center is more than a museum—it serves as a place to gather, learn, and take action. Grounded in the belief that ordinary people can create extraordinary change, it combines culture, community, and civic engagement in a shared environment.
