Located on the top of the Willis Tower, the Skydeck is a small glass protrusion that offers the grandest views this city has to offer. From Montrose Beach to Chinatown, explore the city from a new perspective. Although busy, especially during sun set and rise, the view and climb up the tower is absolutely worth it. Buy tickets here!
The idea of this museum was made when Julius Rosenwald saw his child enthralled by an interactive museum display at the Deutches Museum in Munich. He wanted to share that same experience with his hometown of Chicago. The former Palace of Fine Arts was restored, and on June 19, 1933 the Museum opened with its first (and briefly only) interactive experience: The coal Mine. It was renamed to the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry on May 19th, 2024 in honor of billionare businessman Kenneth C. Griffin's generous donation.
