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.

  • Included in CityPASS

Adler Planetarium

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.

  • Included in CityPASS
  • 2 Hours

Museum of Contemporary Art

Much like the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art is an architectural masterpiece containing some of the world’s most important creative gems.

  • 4 Hours

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 14410.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Consigliatissima... Occasione da non perdere! CityPASS. Fantastica esperienza. Abbiamo usato questa formula sia per le principali attrazioni di New York City che di Chicago. Abbiamo risparmiato parecchio anzichè acquistare i singoli biglietti. Comoda la modalità di prenotazione. App e formula assolutamente consigliata!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value for all the major tourist sites My first time visiting Chicago and CityPASS provided me with a less expensive way to see the major sites - the Willis Tower, the Art Institute, the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, and the Adler Planetarium. It was a jam-packed but amazingly fun weekend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great customer service Not only was the city pass a good deal and we had an absolute blast choosing what to do, but their customer service was awesome! I accidentally double booked a city pass adventure with our tickets to see a show. When I called, they were so helpful and I was easily able to change.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Clarification Needed on Chicago CityPASS Inclusion I purchased the Chicago CityPASS 5, and overall, the experience was fantastic — each attraction was great, and the Shedd Aquarium was especially amazing. The only issue we encountered was at the Griffin Museum. When we tried to join the coal mine tour, we were told we needed to purchase an additional ticket. I mentioned that the pass stated it included one special experience, but the staff member said we would still have to pay. She also advised that the next available tour wouldn’t be until later in the day, even though the person in front of us had been able to choose their preferred time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great time! Glad we bought the pass, and had a great time in Chicago for the first time. My friend & I went to visit my son who recently moved there. We did the 2 "required" activities: Shedd Aquarium and Skydeck. We chose 360 Chicago, Art Institute, and Architecture River Tour, the latter being our favorite. Amazing & very different views from the Sears Tower Skydeck and the Hancock Building (360)--glad we did both!
