Museum of Science and Industry

This museum ranks high on the list of Chicago’s attractions because of the interactive presentation of science and technology that help make a visit a “hands-on experience” in the true sense of the word.

Among other things, visitors can board a model of a World War II submarine, walk down a reconstructed street from around 1900, marvel at a 16-foot walk-through human heart, ride in the cage of a coal mine or enter a flight simulator to be catapulted into space. Perhaps you’d rather take a journey through your body or discover the mysteries and secrets of Egypt’s Pyramids.
