I absolutely love the museum of science & industry. Its legit one of my favorite spaces in Chicago! The first time I went I spent over four hours there, and could have spent my day there easily. Such a fun, science-y place, with something for EVERYONE to love. There’s a ‘Main Street’ with a cobble stone street, there’s an actual aircraft detailing most parts of the plane, with a few hands-on stations, there’s the body, there’s animals, there’s exhibits about the past and the future. There’s a huge train and rail, that goes through cities, mountains, the beach, shows Chicago on a grand scale, it’s all magnificent. I don’t fancy myself a science girl but being there makes you WANT to see all the parts of a clock. Weird I know. I went especially for Christmas all around the World, which is an annual event where you get to see Christmas trees decorated from different places, like Puerto Rico, Japan, Columbia, Kenya, and the list continues. This year my favorite was definitely Japan, I loved the attention to detail in the origami created, but India and Thailand was a close second.

If in Chicago, have you ever been before? Outside of Chicago, does your city does something similar for the holidays?
