Free Day at the Museum of Science & Industry for Illinois Residents

Experience groundbreaking permanent exhibits like Science Storms and YOU! The Experience for FREE! Enjoy all your classic favorites, from the Great Train Story to the Baby Chick Hatchery; and daily, live science demonstrations, like the spectacular chemistry show Bangs, Flashes and Fire.

Free general admission makes it a great time to experience additional exhibits and tours—like the WOW! Tour where you’ll gain special behind-the-scenes access to areas not open to the general public while learning fun, little-known facts about some of the Museum’s most popular exhibits. Catch a quick flick at the Museum’s Omnimax® theater—Chicago’s only five-story, domed, wrap-around theater—or check out the popular Smart Home: Green + Wired exhibit to learn more about eco-friendly living.

Must be an Illinois resident, with proof of address, to receive free general admission.
