Visited the museum on a saturday with my wife. It was quite crowded, I would recomend starting the day up early (we arived around 11:30, and it got more and more crowded). We stayed until closing, and didn't make all the exibitions, you could spend a hole day here. Took a tour of the U-boat for an extra cost off... more

Went to the museum just to see the Harry Potter stuff. We paid only to see the Harry Potter items. It was a little cheesy in the beginning (for the kids) but once in the exhibit it was better than I could have ever thought. Pay the extra $5 for the audio tour it is worth it. For someone who... more

We had gotten the City Pass and all the other attractions on it were all inclusive--this place wanted to charge you for every attraction in it! We were totally steamed that all the good things the place had to offer cost anywhere from 5-18 dollars per person on top of the admission cost-- bring lots of extra $ if you... more

We went specifically to see the Harry Potter Exhibit. We were not disappointed. It contained many of the costumes and props from the movie. Great care was taken to display these in interesting settings. Gift shop prices were high, but what can you expect. The Exhibit was $13.00 and General Admission to the museum was $13.00 for a total of... more

This is a must see for anyone visiting Chicago. Definitely a big bang for your buck. We paid the same price to visit the aquarium (which is also great), but only spent a few hours there compared to 5 hours at Science and Industry and still didn't see everything! The kids (ages 5 & 8) loved the place as well... more

I went with two girlfriends to Chicago, pretty much just to experience the Harry Potter Exhibition running now through the Fall at the Museum of Science and Industry. We are big HP fans and enjoyed the exhibit SO much! We walked through the whole thing once, which took us about an hour, and then before leaving we walked back through... more

The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is large and does a great job of making technology exciting. If you are visiting Chicago, it is well worth a look and will be different from your experiences in other cities. more

Visited over spring break with our two grade school aged children (8 & 10). The highlight for me was the U-Boat tour - really, just over the top. I'm still in awe. I've worked in coal, transport & oil and found all those exhibits to be very true to life and presented so all ages will enjoy & appreciate w/o... more

Tons of stuff to see here - definitely devote a whole day to this museum! Lots of neat, modern and interactive science and technology related exhibits. The U505 sub was extremely interesting and definitely worth spending some extra time there. Take your time and check out all this place has to offer! more
