  1. It Is an IQ Booster

Most people think museums are all about pumping knowledge into people’s minds. They are wrong. Museums are designed to stimulate the mind. All details and exhibits are there to excite the visitors’ imagination and maybe drive them to pursue knowledge more ardently. And that is what education is all about.

Museums also inspire critical thinking, empathy, as well as analytical skills. So, if nothing else, museums are IQ boosters – and not just for children.

  1. They Augment Socializing

And since all Chicago museums have café, bars or even restaurants, you will have plenty of time to get to meet people and possibly make friends that will give you the chance to explore other parts of the planet too.

  1. Local Community Centers

Museums are much more than arrays of artifacts. They are community centers, allowing visitors to learn a lot about locals, their mindset, a way of speaking, affection for their city – as well as concerns and problems. Yes, museums offer you the chance to meet Chicago from within, interact with its social tissue – and most seasoned travelers will tell you, that is one of the best things about visiting a place for the first time.

  1. Museums Are Often… Free!

Chicago museums are actually renowned for being quite affordable, even for big families, despite having some of the most impressive exhibitions around the globe. Still, they also offer open access to the public for several days throughout the year! You can also learn which days these are in advance and schedule your visit – especially if you have many children or plan on bringing along lots of friends.
