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.

  • Included in CityPASS
  • time-clock-circle4 Hours

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.

National Museum of Mexican Art

Chicago is a cultured city, through and through. If you saw the world in the stars at the Chicago Adler Planetarium, you’ll see a vibrant and beautiful new world in the National Museum of Mexican Art.

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 14211.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Disapointed about cashback being declined Had a great time in Chicago and felt like the pass did save some money, however dispointed to see that they have declined my cashback on my return home, it was advertised on topcashback and showed in my account when i made the purchase back in Feb

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great experience My son and I had a great experience visiting Chicago and CityPASS definitely contributed to that. Easy to purchase; easy to use - a great way to see the city. My only criticism is that CityPASS mandated 2 of the 5 events you are required to go to - customers should be allowed to choose from all of them.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Cancellation of tour without prior notice! I bought my CityPASS for our walk through Chicago, everything seemed fine only that on the last day they canceled my most anticipated ride on the river First of all they did it without notifying us either by mail or by message and the worst thing is that we had set aside the last day to do it since it was a walk that we did not want to miss and on the contrary we were left without a walk and we lost a day that we could do something else or visit a museum. In the end without a walk and with a lost day!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good value CityPass was well worth the cost. However, on the third day of using our pass at the Art Institute of Chicago, it would not take it. We had a very helpful person who helped us get in with paying anything additional. It took a while to get this straighten out, so I was disappointed in the fact that the pass did not work for us.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Museums and City Views! We traveled to Chicago to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. We absolutely loved the museums and the included exhibitions with some of the attractions. Definitely recommend visiting mid mornings and no later than 2pm. Many of the attractions offer expedited entry and discounts to gift shops. Huge value, just bring comfortable walking shoes! Download the app to get advice for visitors and entry times.
