WHAT: Not just science, not just industry – a fascinating museum with amazing, relevant exhibits

The Museum of Science and Industry is one of our favorite recommendations for Chicago educational tours. The exhibits, demonstrations, and Omnimax presentations create some of the most amazing experiences you can imagine. It has exhibits on trains, space centers, and technology at sea. A miniature fairy princess house includes real diamonds in its chandeliers, paintings by Walt Disney, and the smallest bible ever written.

ToyMaker 3000:
An Adventure in Automation introduces you to several robots. They draw, dance, compete, and make toys right before your eyes. And these are just some of the permanent exhibits. Many unique and exciting things are showcased temporarily like the Harry Potter exhibition from now through September 2009. And don’t forget the Omnimax presentations and live science experiences that make you the center of the action. The Museum of Science and Industry is one of the most exciting attractions for students in the city and one of the most popular museums nationwide.
