The Museum of Science and Industry opened its doors in 1933. The Museum of Science and Industry, one of the largest science museums in the world, is home to more than 35,000 artifacts and nearly 14 acres of hands-on exhibits designed to spark scientific inquiry and creativity. They have welcomed more than 175 million guests in 75 years, and their ongoing mission has been to inspire the inventive genius in all of them with world-class, permanent exhibits such the U-505 Submarine, the only German U-boat in the United States; or world-premiere temporary exhibits such as 2008’s Smart Home: Green + Wired.
In addition to our fun and interactive exhibits, the Museum’s Center for the Advancement of Science Education is continually developing and facilitating student learning labs, after-school science clubs, teen volunteer programs, teacher development classes and community outreach—all ways in which the Museum’s seek to make science come alive for children of all ages.
This is one of Chicago's best tourist spots as it appeals to a variety of ages. A visitor can have fun while learning something. Be sure to check out their coal mine and U-505 exhibits. A family can easily spend an entire day here.
