Description

Enjoy hands-on activities and live science experiments with this ticket to the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry. Be inspired to innovate as you explore this museum that is housed in the only remaining building from the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago.

Discover over 400,000 square feet of fun hands-on exhibits allow you to learn by doing. Take a closer look at the science behind the weather with recreations of nature’s most powerful phenomena: tornados, lightning, fire, tsunamis, sunlight, avalanches and atoms.

See a giant Tesla coil that zaps 1.2 million volts of lightning above your head. Take a tour of your digestive system. Go on a run in a human sized hamster wheel. Board a 727 hanging from the ceiling and descend into the Coal Mine. Learn about both the history and the future of space travel at the Henry Crown Space Center.

Step into the exciting world of one of the most beloved superheroes of all time in Marvel's Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing – The Exhibition. In this immersive exhibit, you'll see rare comic books, view props and costumes from your favorite Spider-Man movies, explore cutting-edge interactive installations and take photos with life-size statues of your favorite characters, like Miles Morales, Ghost-Spider and, of course, Spider-Man! Open through February 8, 2026, this exhibition is not included in general admission and requires an additional ticket.

Located just a few miles South of Downtown Chicago, with convenient underground parking, this is the place to discover the joys of science through interactive exhibits, hands-on activities, live science experiments, special events, and 3-D movie screenings.
