- My husband and I visited Chicago last year for a short vacation, and included a trip to the Adler planetarium -- great exhibits and shows (downtown Chicago was a great place to visit overall!).

- Going to the Adler Planetarium is a lot of fun. Sitting in the Theater as they bring the Universe right next to you is a rush. I think its time to take my kids there.
