During your student tour to Chicago, you should explore the Museum of Science and Industry. The team will examine fascinating exhibits, take a guided tour, and also participate in educational programs. The museum also contains an Omni MAX Theater.
There are various tour options for the group to explore. Participants can take tours such as The White City Then and Now Tour and the U-505 In Depth Tour. The White City Tour consists of an interactive exploration of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition which is also known as the White City. During the program, the pupils will have the opportunity to get a glimpse at some of the buildings from the fare through a 3D virtual simulation. After that, your group will go on an outdoor walking tour of the Museum’s historic features. Participants will learn about some of the innovations, people, and culture that made the White City influential, and also how those innovators and their inventions still impact our lives today.
