What you can expect

  • This in-app audio tour gives the highlights of one of the largest science museums in the world that brings pure delight to children and grown-ups.

    Opened as part of the 1933's Century of Progress Fair in a building from the 1893 Columbian Exposition, the museum has always been the place where generations came to see the future of science and industry.

    The tour brings you to the future straightaway, “taking you on a ride” on the super-futuristic Pioneer Zephyr Train and telling you about the future of energy. You will also be able to get enchanted by the unique Coleen Moore's Fairy Castle.

    On Level 2, you'll be taken to the swirling world of science by witnessing the real-size tornado and burning fire in motion (it's safe!) and learn about other natural phenomena such as tsunami and avalanche. Then, you will explore the impressive collection of trains, cars, and planes and “dive” into the history of the famous U-505 Submarine.

    After witnessing ground-breaking discoveries and record-breakers in history, delve back into yourself with the You! Experience where the human body is explored from the first cell.

    Choose to visit the Genetics Gallery to discover the secrets of genetics and see how real chicken babies hatch.
