Museum of Science & Industry
One of the largest science museums in the world, right in Hyde Park.
Housed in the only remaining building from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, the Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) is a crown jewel of the South Side. It offers thousands of interactive exhibits ranging from a full-size replica coal mine to a captured World War II German submarine (U-505), and a 3,300-square-foot model railroad. Whether you're a history buff, a science enthusiast, or looking for an unforgettable family outing, MSI delivers an awe-inspiring experience.
