Museum of Science and Industry
The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is one of the largest science museums in the world. It is filled with hands-on exhibits that let visitors touch, build, and experiment.
It is famous for a real German submarine you can walk inside, a giant model train city, and a coal mine ride deep below the floor. Families love watching tornadoes spin and giant machines whir in the huge halls.
A Real Submarine
The U-505 is a real submarine captured during World War Two, now resting inside the museum. You can step aboard and see the tiny bunks, controls, and torpedo rooms sailors used.
Hands-On Science
You can start a real indoor tornado, watch chicks hatch, and send balls through giant machines. Almost every exhibit is made to be touched and tried by curious kids.
Trains and Machines
A huge model railroad shows tiny trains rolling between Chicago and Seattle. Nearby, real airplanes hang from the ceiling and giant engines show how machines work.
