    This museum is wicked cool! I got lucky that I was able to visit for free as part of a dinner/party…read morefor a work conference I was attending. The place is MASSIVE -- you could easily wander for hours, but I only had about 1.5 hours so I went through some of the exhibits VERY fast. That said -- the German U-boat exhibit is particularly cool (you can even get on it/walk through it if you wait in a fairly long line!). They also had a Spiderman exhibit that was fun, a blue planet immersive experience that was just beautiful (and directed at raising awareness about microplastics/ocean pollution), several science exhibits about weather, and a couple other whole sections of the museum that I didn't make it to that was about the costumes/design from the movie "Wicked." There were several other areas in the museum as well that I just didn't have time to get to, but around pretty much every corner you'll find something unique, educational, and very cool! Lots of interactive stuff in the exhibits too, this place would definitely be very fun for kids like on a family trip, or a school field trip. My favorites were the WWII and U-boat exhibits, and the blue planet immersive exhibit. Would absolutely rec a visit to this museum if visiting Chicago and you only have time for one! It's super unique and VERY large so if you have a good chunk of a day you can definitely get your money's worth walking around here.

    This is one of my favorite--if not my absolute favorite museum in Chicago. There are lots of cool…read moreactivities. It looked like the museum had a wealth of information and knowledge. The exhibits appeared exciting and fascinating. They have a place where you can get food. The MSI has also hosted cool events in the past. There are lots of exhibits, so one can feel like there is enough activity to make the visit worthwhile. The exhibits were well done. The museum has a cool layout. Some exhibits felt larger than life. I lost count of how many times I went to the Museum of Science and Industry.

    One of my main reasons for this trip was the visit the Pokemon fossil exhibit. Not sure why there…read moreare not more reviews about it yet! Anyways, it's an additional add on to your base ticket pricing to go inside during a timed entry. Arrived at 9:15am like many other enthusiasts but I absolutely loved it. Once you walk in there's an Aerodactyl and excavator pikachu figure that is a great photo op. The exhibition itself walks you through the history of Pokemon and the different types of fossils that can be compared in the real world. This was so exciting to see and to go through. The life sized fossils were amazing to stand against and compare. Another photo op the end and that's where you get a voucher to purchase up to 5 items in the store with a limit 1 of excavator pikachu plush. After the Pokemon exhibit, there's a ton to see and do. My next favorite was the sue T REX exhibit and the dinosaur fossils too. There were the taxidermy animals too which were nice to see how many different species of animals there are in the world. The field museum is so big that you could literally spend the whole day here. So much to look at and see. Probably the best museum I've been to! Definitely worth checking out.

    One of the best museums I have ever been to (and I've been to a LOT)…read more They have great exhibits, and I always go look at the Plants of the World area when I go. My only complaint is the hours--there are simply not enough hours in one business day to see everything. They should do multiple day passes!

    Finally visited this River North museum during my return to Chicago. Since I wasn't a CHI/IL…read moreresident, the adult ticket price was $22, however you can also opt for the Pay As You Wish option, which is essentially Suggested Donation. While the museum is 4 floors, the exhibits weren't as plentiful. The 1st floor is basically their cafe. The 2nd and 4th floors are prob the floors with more artwork. The 3rd fl felt like an "in-between" floor. Thankfully, the Yoko Ono exhibit was on display, which featured several interactive activations, like a Wish Tree or writing on a wall, which were fun. Their Museum Shop also spans from floors 1-2. I wouldn't say that this museum has the popular artists. The overall artworks are a mix of abstract, photography, and mixed media. I wouldn't recommend it as a "Must See" for tourists, personally. However, I'm an art enthusiast and still thought it was a decent museum to walk through. Perhaps opt for the Suggested Donation for this one.

    I loved my experience! I really appreciate the free Tuesday nights for Illinois residents. That's…read moresuch a treat! Beautiful museum with multiple floors, excellent customer service, plenty of comfortable seating, cool gift shop, and a cafe and restaurant too. It has everything I need! The vibes are good here. I enjoyed all the floors and saw an impressive variety of art. I also wanted to see the Yoko Ono exhibit and I really enjoyed it. I appreciated how interactive it was. There were a few writing stations with activities, such as writing about your mom and taping it to the wall, and writing a wish on a tag and tying it to the wish tree. One room was blue and there were blue markers available and people were encouraged to add to it. Fabulous venue!

    This was the most wonderful experience! I highly recommend it if you're in Chicago. It's located in…read morethe Willis Tower, so if you're going to the Skydeck it's a quick little jaunt over before or after. I wasn't sure what to expect, and it ended up being so much better than I imagined! All the people working were friendly, knew what they were doing, and helped us have the best experience we could have. I loved every part of it, and it was awesome tying in all the senses to color! The tasting one was so fun, I ended up guessing mine right! I think my husband and I had the most fun with the partner drawing activity, that's a keepsake for sure, haha! Other faves were the poem and balloon exhibit and of course, the ball pit. We came with our 6 year old nephew but I think the adults had more fun than he even did! It was fun to let loose and be a kid again. I was thankful for all the fun photo ops, it made it easier to get great pics without having our phones out the whole time. The only bummer was the ice cream. We paid $1 per person for it and it was just one tiny little ball with a wooden spoon, and I could taste the spoon more than the ice cream.

She does NOT like this job and does NOT know how to speak to children or treat them. It was our child's birthday with all her friends from school and kept rolling her eyes at them to the point where I finally approached her and told her the way she is talking and behaving in front of children is unacceptable Please get this girl proper training She is NOT cut for a job around kids Rudest employee I've ever met
