This is one of the very best science/children's museums anywhere!! There was just so much to see, and we could have spent several days there and not seen everything.

Some favorite exhibits include the chick hatchery, the chemistry section (especially pushing the button that started Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" song!), "Yesterday's Main Street", the German submarine, and the space center. Altogether an amazing experience!!

This Museum is TOP NOTCH!

Tips on visiting:

1- Pack a lunch (food is expensive)
2- Buy tix in advance
3- Map out your visit in advance
4- Don't feel like you have to see it all in one day- It's impossible to take it all in!

I have been going to The Museum of Science and Industry since I was a child, and I still have tons of fun. My children love this place. They have great children's programs and you can organize one of their science labs for groups, or sign your kids up indiviually. If you plan to do the latter register early in the fall, because their labs fill up quickly for the entire school year.
