The Adler Planetarium

The last time I was here was with my grandparents. The planetarium includes dozens of hands-on exhibits that explain the workings of the universe, from faraway galaxies to our own sun and neighboring planets, plus historical walk-through exhibits chronicling the birth of modern astronomy. If you're a sky nut, this is the place for you. Maureen and I really enjoyed it, although we were suprised to find out the free admission days are only from Sept-Dec. We had a decent lunch here too.
