The Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago) in Chicago was rebuilt from the old site of the Palace of Art built at the Chicago Brother Remb Memorial Expo in 1893. This Museum introduces some common knowledge of natural science and the development history of industrial technology. It covers many disciplines such as earth, biology, climate and transportation, agricultural machinery and so on. It has more than 2000 exhibition booths. It is said to be the largest science museum in the western hemisphere. Almost every showroom has instruments or experiments for visitors to do. Here you can see the process of simulating various natural phenomena; you can visit the only German submarine captured in World War II - U-505 submarine; you can feel the operation of the coal mine; you can also witness the process of chicken shell breaking in the chicken hatchery. Participation and interaction are the characteristics of this museum, adults and children have harvest. All major museums in Chicago buy tickets, but they often have free opening hours (which can be checked on the museum's official website). There are restaurants in the museum (American fast food), but it's more expensive than outside. The museum is not far from the University of Chicago. It's a short distance from downtown. If you are not self-driving, you can choose the suburban train ME line to get off at 55th - 56th - 57th St. Metra Station and walk for about 10 minutes.
