Solar Eclipse 2024 at the Museum of Science and Industry
Mon Apr 8, 2024
Various times
Age: 3 and up
Price: Included in Museum entry fee
Location:
Museum of Science and Industry
Join the Museum of Science and Industry to celebrate science in action with activities inside and out. Check out the eclipse up close with telescopic viewing of the Moon crossing the Sun's path through solar telescopes, watch a NASA livestream with the Museum's own NASA Solar System Ambassador, or participate in family- and student-friendly hands-on activities.
Can't make it to the Museum on a Monday? That's ok—an eclipse is a science you can do anywhere! MSI will have satellite activities at Millennium Park, the Michigan Avenue Bridge, Oak Street Beach, or the DuSable Museum.
