Museum of Science and Industry

When visiting the Windy City, the Museum of Science and Industry is a must-see. The museum features unique and hands-on exhibits for all ages. Climb inside the 1960s 747, a German U-505 submarine, or one of America’s first diesel-electric passenger trains.

You can also visit the baby chick hatchery or dissect a cow eyeball. Furthermore, explore Yesterday’s Main Street, a detailed 1910 Chicago street scene, or the dizzying Numbers in Nature mirror maze. The museum has over 2,000 exhibits, displayed in 75 major halls. The museum has several major permanent exhibits.

Kids ages ten and under will love the interactive experiments in the Idea Factory. Multiple restaurant options will satisfy even the pickiest of eaters, and those bringing their lunches can take a break at one of the designated seating areas.
