14 Best Museums in Chicago | Condé Nast Traveler
"A comprehensive science and technology museum housed in a building constructed for the 1893 Columbian Exposition, the Museum of Science and Industry in Hyde Park takes up 14 acres and tends to draw families. Participation sells most of the exhibits here. For example, there's an authentic World War II submarine to crawl through, a coal shaft to ride down, and John Deere tractors to climb on—some of these experiences will be closed due to COVID-19 though. Science exhibits cover everything from human biology to storms and space travel (the actual Apollo 8 module is here). There's also an IMAX theater, with a separate entrance and shifting shows that play in repertoire." - Elaine Glusac
