Spent much of the day there and needed another day. . Helpful staff and reasonably priced for what you see. The liquid nitrogen demonstration was fascinating. Took the train then bus. Really convenient way to travel to it.

This museum is huge and covers topics ranging from the planets, to the internet, transportation and the human body. You can easily spend all day at this museum. There is plenty to do for both children and adults.
This is the biggest science museum I've been in. When you come in, it's like you're in an airport or a big mall. Soaring ceilings, escalators, enormous front desk. Divided into themed sections, it's manageable if you decide what you want to see most and then if you run out of time or energy (which you will), you'll have seen...

My wife and I were both VERY disappointed. The only good we found was a very few interesting race cars, a train that was rare but disappointing inside and an airplane that had set a bunch or altitude and speed records. The rest was very kid oriented and hard to follow any since of order. The exhibits were real basic...

The Museum of Science and Industry is a very cool, hands on museum experience. It is also included on the Chicago city pass. There are tons of large scale experiments that you are able to do yourself. Highlights were the science of storms exhibit and the You! Experience. In the science of storms there are tornado, tsunami and avalanche simulators....

This place is fantastic. Where else can you see and tour a German U-boat? Nowhere!! My kids are 4 and 6- they enjoyed going down in the coal mine, seeing inside a 747, the animal bodies exhibit, seeing how a tornado and lighting are made, I could go on and on. We were here all day and could have gone...

As out of towners we tried to see whole museum in one day. Was too much. Many loud school groups throughout, crowds +++. Some of the exhibits were quite dated. Pay extra for things like the coal mine - it was worth it. Wish we would have boughttickets to go in submarine too. For sure get a CityPass to skip...

Really enjoyed the museum. It has exhibits for all ages and lots of interactive items. it is a huge place and you could spend pretty much the whole day in their. Beware though some of the exhibits require extra payment on top of your entrance fee.
The best science museum in the world!!! Loved it and you can easily spend the entire day there, especially if you have kids. The science section with the Tesla coil is very cool, loved the U-boat, bike exhibit and gears in the stairwell.
