Great place, so much to see.
By Connor, 3/25/12
There so much to see, almost too much. The modern art is my favorite part. American Gothic was a little disappointing, because it is hard to find and really small, but everything ells is great. It is pricey, but worth it.

Courtyard Disappoint
By BONITA, 7/28/11
I have only one complaint................The Courtyard has been changed to a menu only facility - it has always been an option to the cafeteria dining area - this is fine - except - it should be duly noted when one is ordering their food at the cafeteria - once you've made that decision, you are not allowed to go out into the Courtyard to eat - I was there yesterday with my 2 granddaughters who were extremely disappointed - we've always eaten outside in past summers!

Very interesting
By ☣ Things ☭ and ☢ Stuff ☣, 2/24/11
I attended the Art Institute a long time ago now but I remember it was a very interesting day trip, even for someone with very little interest in art at the time.

Hot dog art!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/29/09
I loved the hotdog art that they set up for the kids. The atmosphere of the insatution was great! Lovely opera playing in the background while we walked around looking at the skydiving pickles. God I loved the picture of pooh bear sitting on the fence by his butt waiting to watch his bananas to grow! Very realistic! I wish they could have put the picture of the govener of California when he swam ontop of the fish while looking for his wife in its belly button.

Don't care for art...but I keep going back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/22/09
I'm no art nut, but this place is vast and enjoyable. I've gone a few times and find myself spending a few hours each trip. Great food inside also.
