Duane DrzadinskiMarch 3, 2013Got kids? The gift shop has plastic Mood Cups that change color when they're cold. Super cool item!
Pat LoftisJanuary 10, 2012Get their right when it opens or prepare for a wait. Print your tickets ahead of time to skip the line.
Michael GoldmanJanuary 7, 2011Make sure to get to the museum early. It's the one museum in Chicago that can actually take all day to see.
Trina BeanaFebruary 29, 2012Everything about this place is fantastic. Take at least 2 days to see everything.
