If one museum can hold a re-created coal mine, a Zephyr steam locomotive, a German U-Boat, a Boeing 727 and an Apollo 8 spacecraft, you know it has to be big. The Museum of Science and Industry certainly is that, with more than 350,000 square feet holding more than 800 exhibits. An adjoining 342-seat Omnimax theater offers panoramic movies.

After a day of touring the museum, visit the neighboring Jackson Park. Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, who designed New York's Central Park, the park covers two square miles and includes a bird sanctuary, a Japanese Garden and a golf course.

Do not forget about the Hyde Park neighborhood that surrounds the museum and the park. Designed in the 1800s by renowned architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, this neighborhood is home to The University of Chicago, one of the nation's best. Long on the National Historic Register, the neighborhood retains an air of dignity and sophistication with vintage architecture, formal gardens and tree-lined streets.
