Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum
Museums / Galleries, South Loop
Fodor's Review:
Navigate your way through the solar system with interactive and state-of-the-art exhibits that appeal to planetarium traditionalists as well as technology-savvy kids and adults. The museum uses computer games, videos, short films, and hands-on devices to teach physics and astronomy basics like the Doppler effect. Two different planetariums unlock the mysteries of the stars.
