Science

Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry offers hundreds of hands-on exhibits covering physics, chemistry, engineering, technology, and applied math.

What families say
Families consistently rave about this one—expect a full day if you want to hit the highlights, since it's packed with hands-on, interactive exhibits (the U-505 submarine, storm exhibit, railroad displays, and Blue Paradox all get singled out as favorites). Reviewers with young kids report great experiences, noting a dedicated kids' energy area and exhibits kids can touch and build, plus friendly staff and easy public transit access. No real complaints surfaced, though several reviewers stress that trying to read every placard in detail will stretch your visit well beyond a single day.
