Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago

It’s been so many years since I’ve been to the Museum. I loved it as a kid and love it now maybe even more as an adult. It is a world-class experience. So many things to see and learn. Almost impossible to do it all in a day. We made the mistake of going on a Sunday, and on Sundays they open later than usual. For special exhibits it is worth paying for the Lego, the coal mine of course, and the U-boat. I would not pay for the flight simulator again. It was waiting a while in a line for a timed 3 minute experience in the simulator. We didn’t feel it was worth it. But everything else was spectacular. If you can only afford or have time for one extra thing, do the coal mine. If you can’t do an extra special exhibit, regular admission will still give you extensive access to many things.

This place has an internal parking lot which I wish I knew earlier. Also, it's better if you buy your tickets in advance otherwise you'd have to wait in a long line. This museum is a must-visit, only that if you're an adult, I would recommend to start your visitation with the third floor instead of the ground floor. On the third floor, you get a lot of hands-on with science stuff and recent technology. You get better exposure and can take better pictures. Come prepared to spend like 2-4 hours. It gets chilly inside at times. Of course, they have paid exhibitions which you can choose as per your liking. We went for amazing hikes in North America paid exhibition and the experience was spectacular. We were seated in a four-storey dome-based theatre with a movie experience so unique by far. Overall, the museum experience is worth the money, it's so much better for the young kids but the adults can enjoy it as much.
