Adler Planetarium

Approx. Time: 2 hours
Activity Level: Easiest

At The Adler Planetarium, they continue to teach and entertain at the same time. The education process is alive and well and available for people of all ages at this Chicago institution. The Sky theater is the one most people think of when they think of the planetarium. You tilt back in your chair and take a look at the night sky projected on the ceiling. It reminds me of coming here a kid, but still keeps me captivated and always makes me want to learn more. Changes have certainly occurred since my last visit, as education is now high tech. An interactive computer graphic theater has been installed and more computers allow everyone to enjoy and learn at the same time. It has changed with the times, but The Adler Planetarium continues to teach and keep people interested in the world around us.
