I'm stunned. As I was flipping through the list of The World's Most Beautiful Museums, half expecting to see an Illinois mention, I got Wisconsin instead.
Rockford Art Museum, Burpee Museum of Natural History, and the Discovery Center Museum all failed to make IllinoisTop200's list of the state's top 10 museums.
Your kids aren't even out of school yet and you're worried about finding inexpensive ways to entertain them for the next three month. Enter: Museum of Science and Industry.
As a kid, I saw a lot of museums. I've said before that I've seen most of this country from the back seat of my parents car, but we did stop the car occasionally, and when we did it was often in front of a museum of some sort. If you want museums, Illinois is your spot.
