Here is another great museum that's fun and of course educational. I know this is alot of Chicagoans favorite museum because of the interactive exhibits and the IMAX theatre. The first part of the construction of this collosial structure took place during the only time the World's Fair came to Chicago over 100 yrs. ago.
The museum is located on the north end of where the World's Fair was held. They also offer a free day once a week.
