The coolest museum in Chicago, no competition whatsoever. I've been going on occasion for as long as I have lived in the city and each time, I learn something new. It's truly great for a weekend afternoon and good for all ages.

Beautiful museum and exhibits. We have taken the kids to the Christmas around the world, the traveling Walt Disney exhibit, Mirror Maze ( walk carefully ) Give yourself plenty of time as there is lots to see . We went as kids for field trip and enjoy going with our children .

DETAILS
General Info
The largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere! Housed in the only remaining building from the 1893 World’s Fair, MSI is a Chicago must-see. You’ll experience 14 acres of hands-on exhibits and have the chance to stand before a 40-foot tornado; climb aboard a World War II German submarine; take a run in a human-sized hamster wheel; descend into an Illinois coal mine; tour a fully functioning eco-friendly home; board a 727 hanging from the ceiling; transmit your pulse to a 13-foot, 3-D beating heart; and much more! MSI is not a place where you walk around quietly and observe. No way! You get involved in the fun—and learn—by doing. Just a few miles from downtown with convenient underground parking.The largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere!
