My husband and I took our granddaughter, age 2. We went at Christmas time 2008, when the museum USED to be at it's best with it's Christmas trees. The trees were a disgrace...looked like they were just pulled out year after year with no upkeep. It didn't look like a museum of any kind. "Displays" were few just put here and ...

it was very very very very very very very very very very cool

There is a lot to see and do, but the exhibits, by and large, remain static over the years. Once every 7 years or so ought to do it.

This was the most beautiful Science Museum my family has ever traveled to. We came from Frankfurt, Germany, and Chicago is truly a beautifully pleasant city! We fell in love with Chicago!
