"Southeast of The Loop, The Museum Campus is a 57-acre park that has three of Chicago’s greatest attractions: The Field Museum of Natural History, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Adler Planetarium. Each of these institutions is exceptional, but if you only have one day, choose just one and take the time to enjoy its collection. Even without the museums, the Museum Campus is worth visiting. Walking toward the planetarium on the peninsula that juts out into the lake, you’ll find the city’s best skyline views. Beyond the planetarium, Northerly Island is a great park with a small beach and a beautiful bird and butterfly sanctuary, along with more cityscapes views. The Museum Campus also contains Soldier Field, the city’s football stadium." - MATADOR_NETWORK

Out-of-state student tickets cost only $27 and it’s worth every penny. It would take over 3 days to actually get to explore this whole museum but a worthwhile spot to visit for at least a few hours if you have a chance. Exhibits are interactive and engaging with hidden details for those who’ve gone before. Genuinely one of the best museums I’ve ever gone to given to just how much history and culture is covered so well!

Went on a trip with my wife and stopped by the Aquarium. It was amazing! Lots of exhibits and a good amount of interactive options. We spent a lot of time there, but honestly it didnt feel like that long. I highly recommend doing the city pass though, the amount you save on tourist attraction admissions like the aquarium, Field museum, 360 observatory, etc is pretty crazy. Will definitely be going back on another trip.

This is my second favorite museum, only behind the Science Museum in Chicago. I highly recommend stopping here if you have the time. You can purchase tickets at the door. We couldn't see everything in just two hours. The exhibits include space exploration, ancient Egypt, a person working on real fossils, and one of my favorites: gems and diamonds.

There is a lot to see explore this place. With short time I have tried to cover some portion of the museum but I believe even whole day is not enough to see the place. I advise to take more time to see everything. Museum is so big and nice, I regret I couldn’t able to see everything. Hope will cover next time.

The Planet Nine show is amazing. I was also impressed with all the exhibits, especially the space walk room in the smaller kids area. It’s freaky.

What a wonderful experience. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes, because you will be doing a ton of walking! They have a cafe on the second level but it's pricey. There are tons of exhibits to view and take in.

The aquarium was great! The kids loved it and there was plenty of space for all the visitors to enjoy seeing the wonderful sea creatures.
