    This is a beautiful museum. We didn’t get a chance to see the whole museum. There is so much to see. I would recommend visiting if in Chicago!

    The park is very nice, clean and organized and have that famous bean in it. It also has a big place for concerts. I went during a hot day in May but I think it even looks nicer in evenings

    Really fun, informative, and so much to see. We could have spent longer but we had been there for nearly 4 hours and just couldn't take in any more information. The day we went was crowded with lots of school groups on field trips so the whole museum was very loud, but it was still incredibly engaging. The human body exhibit stands out to me, also the Dark Universe movie (a $12 extra fee but worth it). We had to Uber there and back and it's some distance from where we were staying, so it was a fairly expensive day for us, but definitely a wonderful experience. We were 3 adults in our party, but there seems to be something here for everyone.

    A wonderful place to visit on a nice day. I stopped in Chicago for the day on my way out west. Chicago is an underrated city for shopping and beautiful lake views. Didn’t have time for the restaurants but would like to return soon
