Top Museums in Chicago

From the largest and most complete T-Rex to masterpieces and modern art, Chicago has it all. No wonder it’s called the "City of Broad Horizons," as top-notch museums aim to enlighten, educate and inspire. Whether it’s the vast collections at the Art Institute or learning more about planet earth and the solar system at America’s first planetarium it’s all in Chicago. Here are the most iconic museum stops to include on your itinerary.

Art Institute of Chicago

Just as the aerial view of the Chicago cityscape from Skydeck Chicago takes your breath away, so will the art of the Art Institute of Chicago. Within the walls of this grand museum are endless exhibits of both classic and contemporary artwork from around the world.

  • Included in CityPASS
  • 4 Hours

Museum of Science & Industry

Chicago is a big city. But even within the big city are big museums that are so fascinating and inviting, it could take days to explore each one from corner to corner. The Museum of Science & Industry is no different.

  • Included in CityPASS
  • 4 Hours

The Field Museum

The Field Museum encapsulates a variety of exhibits that bring the pages of history to life through works of art, sculptures, artifacts, and interactive activities.

Everyone looks up at the stars at least once in a while. At the Adler Planetarium, you not only get to look at the stars, you get the chance to immerse yourself in the wonders of the cosmos.

Museum of Contemporary Art

National Museum of Mexican Art

Chicago is a cultured city, through and through. If you saw the world in the stars at the Chicago Adler Planetarium, you’ll see a vibrant and beautiful new world in the National Museum of Mexican Art.

Chicago CityPASS
Vacationing with a family of 5
We have purchased CityPASS now for three cities: Southern California, New York and now Chicago. We have a family of 5 and this makes planning so easy and affordable!! Not to mention not standing in line for tickets!!!
Chicago CityPASS
The CityPASS was the perfect way to plan our stay in Chicago. I was able to show my daughter my favorite places in Chicago, and a few others as well. The CityPASS provided a better price, and skipping to the front of the line was like icing on the cake!.
Wonderful week in Chicago!
After doing much research about CityPASS and other group admission passes of the like, I knew I had to get the CityPASS. Chicago CityPASS gets you into 5 of the top sightseeing places - with an upgraded admission!
Great Price
My family came to visit us from Colombia. It was their first time in the states and I wanted to make sure their first vacation was more than what they expected it to be. When I came across the Chicago CityPASS online I knew it was just what I needed to make their trip memorable.
CityPASS Saved My Vacation and Marriage
We used Chicago CityPASS recently and it was a not only a vacation saver but a marriage saver. My husband and I would typically argue about which way to go and what to do next. The CityPASS was easy to use and offered detailed information as well as discounts.
Chicago CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 14420.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loved my CityPASS CityPASS was great! It was my first time visiting Chicago, and it was great to have the VIP admissions to attractions such as SkyDeck because it got me in and out an on my way so I could see more attraction. I was also thrilled to have access to the exhibits at the Field museum that are not included with general admission, they were the highlight of my museum trip. It’s such a great value, even if you don’t hit the maximum number of attractions you’re still getting a bargain! Definitely going to look into this for other cities.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just love it! I absolutely loved my experience with the Chicago CityPASS! It made exploring the city so much easier and way more affordable. I got to visit top attractions like Skydeck, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Field Museum without worrying about long lines or buying separate tickets. Everything was super smooth and convenient — the mobile pass worked perfectly and saved me a lot of time. Totally worth it if you want to make the most out of your trip to Chicago!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Visita de 6 noches y 7 días en Chicago Lo recomiendo muchísimo. De verdad ahorras mucho dinero, de las 5 experiencias que fuimos, en todas contemplaba el ingreso a todas las exposiciones o filas rápidas, que generalmente tienen un costo extra de la entrada general. Entonces el ahorro termina siendo bastante. Volvería a adquirir el CityPASS en Chicago y en todas las ciudades que esté disponible.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good value and convenient CityPASS was very convenient and even the attractions that needed booking were very easy to book. We were also able to skip the line for skydeck ledge which saved time. It would be much nicer if there are no musts in the pass because we didn’t want to do the aquarium but it a must to do on city pass.
