Chicago Museum of Science and Industry is one of the preeminent museums in the U.S. Constantly improving, the museum seems to always have new hands-on exhibits that interest adults and children alike. The museum includes a free tour of a German U-Boat captured during World War II, a re-creation of a coal mine that visitors can tour, and a model train layout that encapsulates almost the entire country. Here you could have a small food court, which is somewhat expensive, but a good place to grab a quite bite to eat and rest a bit.

The mission of any Chicago Museum of Art is to be an innovative and compelling center of art where the public can directly experience the work and ideas of artists, understand the historical, social, and cultural context of the art. The museums reflect Chicago ethnic diversity and boldly interweave exhibitions, performances, collections, and educational programs to excite, challenge, and illuminate the visitors and to provide insight into the creative process.
