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.

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.

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 14089.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from 360 tilt is not included in the pass The City pass shows 360 Chicago observation deck and sky deck which is confusing. We felt 360 Chicago observation deck is 360 tilt and when we reached the tilt building we have to pay $11 for each ticket. When we ask them about the use of the city pass they said city pass only contributes $1 remaining $11 we have to pay from our pocket at that instant. We were a bit disappointed with the service. Thank you.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not enough days The pass is ok. But it gives you just 9 days to see everything. We weren't able to use all the passes during that period of time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great way to discover Chicago options I live in Ohio and have managed to put off visiting Chicago for over 40 years. I kept saying to the wife, "why?" I finally gave in and she found the CityPASS app, which was a great way to find out what is available to do and reserve tickets if needed. The 5 day pass was perfect for us. Getting expedited entry was nice. Especially at the Sky Deck. We bypassed the line waiting their turn. I wonder if there is a way to duplicate a pass for a 2nd day? We could have easily spent a 2nd day at the Field Museum, maybe even a 3rd.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful family trip to Chicago! We purchased CityPASS for the 5 of us. Since we did not all have the same time availability, we went to different attractions as we had the time to do so. The process was easy in every attraction, and they were all fascinating places to visit.
