 | America's first planetarium, the Adler, is home to more than 35,000 square feet of exhibits. From scale models of the solar system to ancient astronomical instruments and interactive adventures, the exhibit galleries provide a passageway for you to explore the universe. The Adler is the only museum in the world with two full-size planetarium theaters. Powered by brand-new Digistar 3™ simulator technology, the StarRider Theater is a completely digital, virtual outer space environment. Since the Adler Planetarium opened in 1930, the wonder of the stars has been visible in the historic Sky Theater. The famous Zeiss Planetarium projector is capable of accurately reproducing the movement of every aspect of the night sky. Visit the Adler Planetarium and get ready to be transported out of this world. |  | If you hear the word "museum" and immediately think "boring", you haven't been to Chicago's fascinating Field Museum.
