Lulu ADecember 29, 2013Check out the planes and the human anatomy, also the weather phenomenon is pretty fascinating.
Ricardo RamírezAugust 9, 2015You can really have fun! No matter how old you are, in this place everyone feels like a kid.
- Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle is a classic, but don't forget to listen to the audio on the headseats. It's pretty hilarious.
Kathryne NunleyMarch 16, 2011Hot dog stand out front is an absolute MUST. Chicago-style dogs in Chicago. Don't miss it.
Samir ShahApril 4, 2011If you are in line you might as well buy tickets online using your phone and cut in front of everyone an head to the VIP line. Literally saved me 45 min!
Marcello MarcheseOctober 31, 2015Definitely visit the Robots exhibit sponsored by Google, well worth the 11$ 👏
Kaitlyn SassSeptember 11, 2013Had such a good time! Learned lots of new things, killed 4 hours, and it was free b/c we live in Chicago.
Monique MathenyJanuary 26, 2016I went during the free museum days & half of the displays were unavailable, ugh! 🙄

Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 2, 2011Don't miss the U-505 Submarine exhibit, the first enemy warship apprehended by the US Navy since 1815. -- Green Guide Editor

Kristi GrgetaApril 30, 2010Be sure to check out the old timey ice cream bar over by the "Yesterday's Main Street" exhibit. Great reward for kids! Read more
Jose VegaMarch 1, 2015This place need a change haven't been here for 3 years and all looks the same. Maybe I should wait 6 years to come back. I understand it the museum but just try something new.

Brittney GaultJanuary 30, 2013Every January and February check out the longest running juried African American exhibition, Black Creativity! Amazing!
Slim LzbnJanuary 28, 2012Go when they have the star exhibit..remarkable..and unforgettable..beautiful!!!!
During the summer and Christmas time take the #10 bus - it runs express to/from downtown.
Kristi DillmanJanuary 25, 2012Park in the $5 parking on the side of the bulding rather than in the $20 parking garage!
Carlo LozadaApril 10, 2014The museum is awesome but I didn't like that you need to pay extra for a lot of exhibits. Oh the flight simulator is horrible.
Angus BurtonMay 18, 2011The U-505 is worth seeing, but prepare to pay extra to walk inside it. If you don't like obnoxious throngs of school children, avoid this place on the weekdays.
GE AviationOctober 18, 2011See the story of transportation in the Transportation Gallery, and FLY through the history of aerial combat on an awesome flight simulator!
You can't leave without checking out the $3.5 million model train set. Absolutely EPIC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Train_Story
