Amazing experience! So much to see and interacting activities. Very educational as well, Anne Frank was very telling. The submarine was cool to see. The blue paradox was amazing and my favorite! The vortex is cool to see. BASICALLY EVERYTHING IS COOL! That’s my highlight.

Returning to my favorite museum
The Tazewell and Anne Frank exhibitions were phenomenal! Neither should be missed. I just wish that the Tazewell exhibit had been given a more prominent place in the museum.

Fun fun fun
As a science girly, this science is massive! So many interactive activities and fun things to do with adult friends or the kiddos.

Expensive and ok
We went to the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry specifically to see the Anne Frank exhibit. It was okay, but I wouldn’t say it was a must-see. I didn’t really learn anything new, and it was crowded enough that it could be difficult—and a little frustrating—to actually take your time with the exhibits. The guided portion of the tour was definitely the best part.
One thing I didn’t love was having to purchase general admission to the museum in addition to the Anne Frank exhibit. We’re from the Chicago area and have been to Science and Industry many times, so we’ve already seen most of the museum and weren’t really interested in paying for general admission again.
Overall, I’m glad we saw the exhibit, and the guided tour was worthwhile, but I thought the experience as a whole was just okay rather than great.

Terrific Museum on our Chicago visit
This museum was wonderful. We were lucky to see the Anne Frank exhibit. We definitely want to come back because there is so much more to see.

One of our favorite days in Chicago
We loved every minute of our visit! Very clean & well organized museum, helpful staff and has something for everyone. Our only regret is not having enough time to enjoy all of the exhibits. Give yourself 3-4 hours

Everything spectacular
Entered at 1:30 PM exited at 5:00 PM
Everything spectacular especially the u505
I am taking off a star because the tour is only in English and there is no audio guide provided, so you have to act as an interpreter for the family at the guide's speed

Don’t miss this beautiful museum
We loved this visually beautiful museum. The U505 exhibit is astounding. You need at least 5 hours to get through it. Pay close attention to hours of operation as they change with little notice.

Great time
The museum was huge. We went for the Spider-Man exhibit and saw lots of other things that were thought provoking as well.
