Kidell PowellFebruary 23, 2012Don't stay at exhibits to watch the videos, they take too long. Easier to read the plaques and admire
Mike LaMarMarch 13, 2011Haven't been here since I was a kid, but still enjoy it! Can't wait to bring my kids someday.
Shanlie Ann 🍃 @chi_shanMarch 25, 2010Go to the main Lobby and try to capture an explosion on your camera!
Geoff WebberDecember 23, 2012If you want to enjoy the cafeteria, start with extremely low expectations.
The membership totally pays for itself if you come 4 times in a year.
Travis TindellDecember 21, 2017Coolest museum I’ve ever been to. Trains were amazing. Lots to see and touch and learn for adults and kids alike.
The babies were donated and preserved from the Great Depression.
Always a great place to go on a day off or weekend. Bring the kids!
