Pricing
Regular: $25.95 adult (ages 12+) / $14.95 child (ages 3-11)
One of the largest science museums in the world, featuring interactive exhibits like a U-505 submarine, a coal mine, and space exploration displays.
The Griffin Museum of Science and Industry is an excellent Chol Hamoed destination, offering vast, family-friendly educational exhibits in a respectful environment.
The museum is highly suitable for families, offering diverse, age-appropriate exhibits that can easily occupy a full day. While there is no certified kosher food on-site, the museum is located in Chicago, which has accessible kosher options in nearby neighborhoods like Hyde Park or further north. The environment is inherently modest and professional, making it very comfortable for Orthodox families. It is a premier choice for Chol Hamoed, though families should plan ahead for meals since on-site dining options will not meet kosher standards.
