Insider Tips

  • Time it right: Use your ticket within its valid window and arrive well before closing time so you are not turned away at the door.
  • Layer up: The galleries run cold, so bring a light sweater or jacket even in summer.
  • Plan parking: Nearby parking fills up on weekends and downtown traffic can be heavy, so build in extra time before your visit.
  • Eat before or after: On-site food options are limited, so plan ahead if you have specific preferences.
  • Go early for space: The museum feels quieter earlier in the day, making it easier to explore the interactive exhibits at your own pace.

FAQs

  • What are the museum’s hours of operation?

    The museum keeps shorter hours on Sunday than the rest of the week and closes on Mondays and major holidays. It is best to check the current schedule before planning a visit.

    The museum offers exhibits such as Sensing Chicago that are designed specifically for children, with hands-on activities included. Strollers are welcome throughout the galleries.

  • Are there any restrictions on bags or food?

    Large bags, backpacks, and outside food or drinks are not allowed in the museum galleries. Food can be purchased at the on-site cafe instead.
