Top Museums in Chicago

From the largest and most complete T-Rex to masterpieces and modern art, Chicago has it all. No wonder it’s called the "City of Broad Horizons," as top-notch museums aim to enlighten, educate and inspire. Whether it’s the vast collections at the Art Institute or learning more about planet earth and the solar system at America’s first planetarium it’s all in Chicago. Here are the most iconic museum stops to include on your itinerary.

Art Institute of Chicago

Just as the aerial view of the Chicago cityscape from Skydeck Chicago takes your breath away, so will the art of the Art Institute of Chicago. Within the walls of this grand museum are endless exhibits of both classic and contemporary artwork from around the world.

  • Included in CityPASS
  • 4 Hours

Museum of Science & Industry

Chicago is a big city. But even within the big city are big museums that are so fascinating and inviting, it could take days to explore each one from corner to corner. The Museum of Science & Industry is no different.

  • Included in CityPASS
  • 4 Hours

The Field Museum

The Field Museum encapsulates a variety of exhibits that bring the pages of history to life through works of art, sculptures, artifacts, and interactive activities.

  • Included in CityPASS

Adler Planetarium

Everyone looks up at the stars at least once in a while. At the Adler Planetarium, you not only get to look at the stars, you get the chance to immerse yourself in the wonders of the cosmos.

Museum of Contemporary Art

Much like the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art is an architectural masterpiece containing some of the world’s most important creative gems.

National Museum of Mexican Art

Chicago is a cultured city, through and through. If you saw the world in the stars at the Chicago Adler Planetarium, you’ll see a vibrant and beautiful new world in the National Museum of Mexican Art.

Chicago CityPASS
Vacationing with a family of 5
We have purchased CityPASS now for three cities: Southern California, New York and now Chicago. We have a family of 5 and this makes planning so easy and affordable!! Not to mention not standing in line for tickets!!!
Chicago CityPASS
The CityPASS was the perfect way to plan our stay in Chicago. I was able to show my daughter my favorite places in Chicago, and a few others as well. The CityPASS provided a better price, and skipping to the front of the line was like icing on the cake!.
Wonderful week in Chicago!
After doing much research about CityPASS and other group admission passes of the like, I knew I had to get the CityPASS. Chicago CityPASS gets you into 5 of the top sightseeing places - with an upgraded admission!
Great Price
My family came to visit us from Colombia. It was their first time in the states and I wanted to make sure their first vacation was more than what they expected it to be. When I came across the Chicago CityPASS online I knew it was just what I needed to make their trip memorable.
CityPASS Saved My Vacation and Marriage
We used Chicago CityPASS recently and it was a not only a vacation saver but a marriage saver. My husband and I would typically argue about which way to go and what to do next. The CityPASS was easy to use and offered detailed information as well as discounts.
Chicago CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 14285.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Money and time saver We bought CityPass tickets for chicago. We stayed for 5 days and visited one attraction per day from the CityPass options. It was definitely a save of money. It also helped us planning the trip as we had a collection of where to go from the attractions mentioned in the app. There were also CityPass staff and signs near two of crowded attractions to guide pass holders.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good Experience with CityPASS Chicago! Using CityPASS Chicago made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. The app was very user-friendly and worked without any issues. One great feature is that it notifies you when you’re close to an attraction, which helped us stay on track and make the most of our time. Almost everything was easy to access, and the whole process felt smooth and well-organized. Highly recommend it if you’re visiting Chicago!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Bargain and a Time Saver Both my friend and I bought a CityPASS for Chicago. It was a great way to visit the city and included all the top things to see in the loop area where we were staying. We used all 5 passes. On other travels I’ve seen similar passes but not for the “A list” sights. If visiting another city, I’d look for a CityPASS to buy. This was a bargain and a time saver.
