Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum

There are several exhibitions, including the history of the astrolabe, the history of telescopes, the history of compass, etc., the second layer of modern cosmic exploration, cosmic radiation, the existence of aliens, the big bang, light pollution, etc. Three-story modern space exploration, moon project, family event hall, souvenir shop and so on.

The theater Grainger Sky inside the museum is worth seeing. But the rest can be a bit boring if not for astronomers. There will also be staff explanations and demonstrations. If you want to stay long, bring lunch and take a break at the lake.

The Adler Planetarium is a public museum founded in 1930 by the Chicago businessman Max Adler at the northeast end of North Island on the shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago. Adler is the first planetarium in the United States.

Adele Observatory is a good place to go, this is a similar science museum, you can learn about astronomy through a lot of large equipment, the planetarium is also unique in its structure, the circular structure is very suitable for the appreciation of astronomy knowledge.

You should know what you can expect. You can learn all about the universe and solar system here. You can stay here all day, and still be very interested in what they offer, or you can just walk through it in two hours. The length of the tour depends entirely on your (your child) interest. The entrance fee is a bit difficult to understand. There are some good shows there but you need to pay extra. Although this is a bit strange, you can book only two shows at the beginning and then go back to the counter to book the next show (after you have seen the first one). Be prepared to queue up when buying tickets, especially when the kids are on holiday. If you know what you want to see here, you can buy tickets online. The view outside the planetarium is also beautiful. Please also make time to visit outside the planetarium.

Easy to navigate, beautiful exhibits; didn't have time to see a show but I will be back!

Awesome planetarium for anyone to visit and learn more in depth about our solar system and so much more out there.

Great place all types of a activitys for the kids

I've only been here a couple times and I love t every time. The sky room is where my rival schools prom is being held. It's beautiful.

Adler After Dark is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Also, the view of the skyline from the planetarium is ridiculous. Highly recommend if you have the time.
