I've been looking forward to going back to the Museum of Science and Industry since we went the first time when visiting Amy and Wade! First, we went to the omnimax and saw "Hurricane on the Bayau," a story about Hurricane Katrina. Since we've met Sean and Tina, we've learned a lot about the effects of Hurricaine Katrina, but we've never actually seen them. I was in awe at how people survived such a horrific tragedy, and my heart really empathizes and goes out to the people effected by this disaster.
Next up, Body Worlds 2! I was surprised that I wasn't icked out by Body Worlds...I was rather fascinated and surprised at the way they put this exhibit together. I'm not sure how I feel about the concept, but it was a learning experience, especially the prenatal section. (for the weak stomached, i'll leave it at that!)
One of the newest exhibits is the new INDOOR U-505 Submarine that was captured by the US in WWII. http://www.msichicago.org/exhibit/U505/index.html It was really neat....and a lot larger than I expected!
We also loved the chicken hatchery and it was really interesting to learn about the Coal Miners. Ohhh, and can't forget the Toy Factory, I felt like we were back on Mr. Rogers all over again!

Totally cool museum. I'd love to go (without toddlers of course) so that I could actually spend more than 5 minutes there. Neato activities you guys do!
Ooh, our kids would LOVE this now!
This was one of my faves when I went as a kid. I remember this teeney fairy castle that I loved and wanted. And of course the heart. They had Body Worlds 2 here in a Denver about a year ago, so that's cool that you got to see it next!
