The Walt Disney Birthplace

Plan Your Visit

Join us for an exciting journey through the early life of Walt Disney at the Walt Disney Birthplace. Forty-minute tours through Walt Disney’s childhood home take place on the last Saturday of every month.

Step inside the modest Chicago home where a global legend was born. Located at 2156 North Tripp Avenue, this guided tour takes you through the very rooms where Walt Disney spent his early childhood…the place that sparked the imagination behind Mickey Mouse, Disneyland, and a lifetime of magic.

Walk in Walt’s footsteps as our expert guides share captivating stories about his formative years in Chicago. You’ll gain a rare, intimate glimpse into the roots of a visionary whose work still inspires millions.

After the tour, guests get exclusive access to merchandise only available onsite—from the “Walt Was Here! So Was I!” t-shirt to limited-edition tumblers, hats, and crossbody bags. These meaningful mementos aren’t just souvenirs—they’re a way to carry the magic forward and help preserve Walt’s childhood home for future dreamers.

We are also pleased to announce that Right Bee Cider, our beloved Hermosa neighbor, is offering 10% off your entire bill when you bring in your tour receipt!
