An absolute wonderful must-see museum in Chicago. There is so much to see and do here that you could truly spends days here. The big downside here is the distance from the Loop, so be prepared for an expensive Uber and a good drive.

    Nice diversity in exhibits. Beautiful building and interior design. They switch art collection very often so go often you will be surprised. Sometimes it might not be your taste but still fun to check out new trends and artist. There's a cute cafe on the basement as well serve pretty good coffee. Farmer's Market out front on the Tuesday mornings but they aren't allowed dogs to go into the farmer's market! That was a bit disappointed. Love the Tuesday night Jazz, ordered a wine or beer and cheese and sit on the lawn. I saw people bring their own picnic basket too. a wonderful way to enjoy Chicago summer! love this museum

    The Science and Industry Museum likes it very much. They are all scientific and technological objects. Many planes are suspended on them. It feels very shocking. There are quite a lot of cars here. I like the feeling of visiting here. There are quite a lot of tourists.

    Although the Chicago Science and Industry Museum is a certain distance from the city center, it displays a variety of science and technology, and there are many interactive scenes, which are worth a visit. The museum is mainly divided into German submarines, various bicycle displays, auto show areas, coal mines and related Apollo 11 moon landing introductions. In addition, the museum mentions that the melting of glaciers caused by climate change is very educational. giant doom theater Awesome, walk into the theater, the screen surrounds all the seats, and the audience is lying down watching a movie. I saw the scene about secret of universal, and the feeling of being surrounded by the screen was too shocking. There is a whispering gallery that is quite fun. The interactive area has hurricane simulation, impact force, tsunami simulation, hot air balloon rise, etc. There are also genes involved. It is definitely a good place for young and old to increase knowledge,

    It has to be said that the location of the Museum of Science and Industry is somewhat biased compared with other popular scenic spots. It takes more than half an hour to get there by bus from Loop, and it takes longer if there is a traffic jam. But the exhibits are worth the time spent on the road. It is suggested that the tour time should be about 2 hours. It's very suitable for parent-child travel. There are many small projects that can be experienced. It's more interesting. Children can learn a lot of knowledge about science and industry. I was impressed by electrostatic exhibits, maze mirrors and so on. The ticket included a film, the one chosen by the Great White Shark. It's OK. The screen is a large ball screen, which makes people feel immersed. Museum of Science and Industry is still worth recommending.

    Although the museum charges a high fee. But it's really a good place for children, including adults, to learn about science. We visited a robot exhibition sponsored by Google. Through interactive participation, we can understand the formation of tornadoes, experience the strong characteristics of hurricanes, make waves and lightning by ourselves. Because English is too poor to support my interaction, many projects are confused and don't know what's going on. There are also special projects that need to be paid separately, such as exploring underground to experience coal mining, boarding German World War II submarines and whaling boats. The museum includes industry, natural phenomena of the earth, biological nature, flight aviation, human mystery and so on. It's as popular as the Washington Space Museum. There are American children everywhere who enjoy themselves. The technologically powerful United States has done a really good job in science popularization. Our country needs to learn too much. American parents are so keen to take their children to museums, I also lament once and again.

    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.
