Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum and Sky Theater:
The Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum - America's First Planetarium - was founded in 1930 by Chicago business leader Max Adler.

The Field Museum:
The Field Museum was founded to house the biological and anthropological collections assembled for the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. These objects form the core of the Museum's collections which have grown through world-wide expeditions, exchange, purchase, and gifts to more than twenty million specimens.
Museum of Science and Industry:
Take a virtual tour of the U-505 submarine, visit Colleen Moore's fairy castle, discover a robot production line, explore the Pioneer Zephyr, and more! See where science meets imagination.

Shedd Aquarium has been a Chicago icon and a leader in the zoo and aquarium profession for more than three-quarters of a century. At Shedd Aquarium, animals connect you to the living world, inspiring you to make a difference.
