Thanks to President's Day, my daughter had the day off from school but the baby's daycare was still open. So, I took the rare opportunity to have a daddy daughter day at the Museum of Science and Industry. This Chicago science museum is, by far, my favorite museum of the Chicago Museums, although because it is also the furthest from where I live, we only just recently became members.

This trip was particularly enjoyable to me because of the mirror maze. It was part of a larger, beauty in nature / beauty in patterns exhibit, and it blew my mind. I had a hard time fully comprehending what was happening, and it was amazing. 

The unfortunate part about this museum, however, is that things are frequently broken. And while the giant Newton's Cradle actually worked for the first time that I'd ever seen, the giant laser fire creator machine wasn't working. 

Also unfortunate about the museum is that the pizza is quite terrible.

But other than that, there is so much to see and touch, and this is where the Museum of Science and Industry really sets itself apart and ahead of the other Chicago Museums. The trend in museums, not only in Chicago but across the country, seems to be to incorporate more touch and interactivity. The Museum of Science and Industry naturally lends itself to that, and other museums, like the Art Institute and Aquarium, are struggling to find ways to innovate to the trend.

After a few hours, my daughter asked to be taken home because she was so exhausted from the activity, but we had really only seen a fraction of what the museum has to offer. And now that we are members, I look forward to coming as frequently as possible.

Thanks for watching. Leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!
