Great place to see the sun or the moon depending on what event you are at. Out behind the planetarium !
The telescopes inside are ideal for looking at the moon and (safely) observing the sun.
Open to the public during special observing events as well as the third Thursday of every month during the planetarium 's Adler After Dark events .
Go the third Thursday during Adler after Dark ! Pretty awesome!

We've been here 4.5 hours and barely scratched the surface. An absolutely excellent museum - probably the best I've been to. Only the Newseum in DC comes close. Don't miss this if you are in Chicago - Kristopher Weiss
