Nestled on the edge of Lake Michigan, the Adler Planetarium is a shining gem in Chicago's Museum Campus. As America's first planetarium, it proudly stands as a beacon of science education. Inside, you'll discover one of the world's most impressive collections of historic scientific instruments. But that's not all. The Adler also houses rare books, manuscripts, archival treasures, models, and photographs that paint a vivid picture of our quest to understand the cosmos.

When you visit, you're not just walking through exhibits; you're embarking on an adventure through space. The immersive theater programs are a must-see.

And while you're there, don't miss the stunning views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan. It's a perfect spot for a selfie with the cityscape as your backdrop. Whether you're a space enthusiast or a curious traveler, the Adler Planetarium will leave you starry-eyed and inspired.
