About this place
Adler Planetarium is America's first planetarium and a museum located in Chicago, Illinois, housing one of the largest collections of historic scientific instruments in the world. Families can explore exhibitions including Stargazers Hub, Mission Moon, Universe In Your Hands, and Chicago's Night Sky, which feature rare objects spanning from the early medieval period through the Space Age, including one of the world's oldest telescopes. The planetarium offers immersive experiences allowing visitors to soar through Saturn's rings, dive into buried oceans, and search for signs of life on distant worlds.
Good to know
If you are a member here
A membership to Adler Planetarium carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.
- the full ASTC Passport Program list Science centers and science museums. Not valid within 90 miles of here.
Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
