    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.
