We went to the acadamy of sciences as it was part of our citipass tickets. Its aimed towards children rather than adults, so a good day our for the family - adults may wish to pass this one buy (it was full of school trips when we were there).

This place is a must see for museum people of all ages. Easy parking in the underground garage now in GG park.

This place gets rave reviews from all over.....but I'm giving you our family's version. If you have a 13 year old, you may have missed the "window" with this place.

We are from Chicago, and Chicago museums blow this one out of the water for... More

The Academy was so much fun. I took my 6 year old daughter and 10 year old brother they had a blast. The academy is huge, and I really reccomend packing snacks and beverages. The parking was quite a distance however the walk was enjoyable.
