Top Museums in Chicago

From the largest and most complete T-Rex to masterpieces and modern art, Chicago has it all. No wonder it’s called the "City of Broad Horizons," as top-notch museums aim to enlighten, educate and inspire. Whether it’s the vast collections at the Art Institute or learning more about planet earth and the solar system at America’s first planetarium it’s all in Chicago. Here are the most iconic museum stops to include on your itinerary.

Art Institute of Chicago

Just as the aerial view of the Chicago cityscape from Skydeck Chicago takes your breath away, so will the art of the Art Institute of Chicago. Within the walls of this grand museum are endless exhibits of both classic and contemporary artwork from around the world.

Museum of Science & Industry

Chicago is a big city. But even within the big city are big museums that are so fascinating and inviting, it could take days to explore each one from corner to corner. The Museum of Science & Industry is no different.

The Field Museum

The Field Museum encapsulates a variety of exhibits that bring the pages of history to life through works of art, sculptures, artifacts, and interactive activities.

Chicago CityPASS
Vacationing with a family of 5
We have purchased CityPASS now for three cities: Southern California, New York and now Chicago. We have a family of 5 and this makes planning so easy and affordable!! Not to mention not standing in line for tickets!!!
Chicago CityPASS
The CityPASS was the perfect way to plan our stay in Chicago. I was able to show my daughter my favorite places in Chicago, and a few others as well. The CityPASS provided a better price, and skipping to the front of the line was like icing on the cake!.
Wonderful week in Chicago!
After doing much research about CityPASS and other group admission passes of the like, I knew I had to get the CityPASS. Chicago CityPASS gets you into 5 of the top sightseeing places - with an upgraded admission!
Great Price
My family came to visit us from Colombia. It was their first time in the states and I wanted to make sure their first vacation was more than what they expected it to be. When I came across the Chicago CityPASS online I knew it was just what I needed to make their trip memorable.
CityPASS Saved My Vacation and Marriage
We used Chicago CityPASS recently and it was a not only a vacation saver but a marriage saver. My husband and I would typically argue about which way to go and what to do next. The CityPASS was easy to use and offered detailed information as well as discounts.
Chicago CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 14197.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Time and Cost Saver We did everything in Chicago it felt like!! The only think I wish was a little different was we made reservations for the Observation Deck and it was all clouds... would have loved to be able to reschedule this. But hard to know weather 10 days out

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 真冬のシカゴも存分に楽しめました 真冬のシカゴでパスを使いました。真冬なので観光客が行列ってことは少なかったのですがパスが便利なのは即刻いつでも予約時間を変更できるところです。予約必要なアトラクションもいつでも時間変更可能です。 アーキティチャークルーズは英語のみなので何をいっているのかわからずひたすら屋外で寒くて・・・・でも景観はとても美しかったです。 シカゴ美術館は圧巻。人も少なくじっくり鑑賞できました 水族館、スカイデッキ、クルーズ 美術館、フィールド博物館と楽しみました。

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pocket friendly! I bought my CityPASS to Chicago. I went to the Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, the Skyline and the Field Museum. We saved a lot of time and money. The purchase experience was user friendly and the support team contacted us immediately via app when we had questions. We were in a family trip, so purchasing and reserving our visits was super simple. I cannot recommend this enough.
