The Chicago Museum of Science and Industry was built on the site of the 1893 World's Fair. Located in Hyde Park, the museum covers an area of 14 hectares and is the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere. The museum's display content is very rich, from basic scientific knowledge to cutting-edge scientific knowledge, which can meet various learning needs from children to adults. The museum has three floors, and each floor has four staircases, which are distinguished by four colors of red, yellow, blue and green, providing convenient visiting conditions for the audience. At the same time, the museum uses these knowledge points to form the entire exhibition, and the research on each knowledge point is very in-depth, and each exhibit can be participated in hands-on. Brain science is a well-known field of knowledge that is difficult to express, and it is even more difficult to engage audiences. What amazes us is that the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry has designed very good exhibits in this field. Here, you can see various natural phenomena in the Science Storm Exhibition Hall, visit the German submarine U-505 captured in World War II; you can experience the operation of a coal mine, and you can experience a five-layer spherical screen in a Chicago family. You can also witness the process of chicks breaking their shells in the chick hatchery. In short, there are many advanced technologies and interactive experiences waiting for travelers to experience in person.

The museum is fully wheelchair accessible with elevators, ramps, and accessible restrooms throughout. Assistive listening devices and wheelchairs are available for loan at the information desk.

Follow all posted safety guidelines, especially in hands-on and simulator exhibits.
