Today our first stop with the City Pass was to the Museum of Science and Industry. The museum was massive and had several impressive displays including a section of history and technology devoted to U-Boats, a film about Mummies, a Christmas display where Christmas trees were decorated to represent the holiday traditions of countries from around the world, a huge train display with a miniature Chicago, and a special exhibit on Star Wars. The Star Wars exhibit included many models used during filming, costumes warn by the actors in the movies, and several hands-on activities about robots. After that we headed to the Planetarium where we checked out a 3-D film on Mars. We took a quick "ride" into the first generation of a planetarium that involved a giant metal ball with holes poked through it to illustrate the night sky. After that we headed toward the traditional planetarium view of the night sky with a guided show about constellations as seen over Chicago.
After warming up a little at the hostel we headed outside of the city a little bit to a German restaurant for dinner.
