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 14251.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastico! My best friend visited Chicago few months before us and strongly recommended us to go for Chicago CityPASS. He was absolutely right! All the experiences were amazing, interesting, and everything was perfectly organized, from the app to the checking of the reservations, to the personnel in each site. Obviously the possibility to save money for visiting multiple sites was also interesting! Well done!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely the best way to see the city! We bought the city pass for 2. We did the Science and Industry Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Willis Tower, John Hancock/360, and River Architecture tour. All five were outstanding! For an added bonus we were able to add on the tilt for $9 and also a 45 min lake tour for $6!!!! It was phenomenal. You had added extras like a 4D show at the Aquarium and an added tour at the museum we chose the coal mine tour. You also got priority boarding for everything. We did two tower tours so we could do one during the day and one at sunset and stayed till all the night lights showed. You can’t go wrong for the price! $149 for everything. If you are contemplating getting it…don’t hesitate!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Chicago Weekend CityPASS was very easy to book the events. We also had to reschedule the Skydeck, CityPass made this an easy task. I would use CityPASS if visiting other cities in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy even for an old gal I purchased CityPASS for my trip to Chicago. I am so glad I did! Quick and easy even for an old gal who doesn't always get technology. Easy to pull up the tickets at the location. A quick scan and I was in. I will look into CityPASS for my next adventure!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Buy the CityPASS Bought the 5 event CityPASS for our family. Perfect amount of attractions for our trip to see the key sights during the 4-days in Chicago (visited the free Lincoln Park Zoo separately). The Science/Industry museum is a 'must see' facility for kids and adults alike.
