About Adler Planetarium

Adler Planetarium presents dome shows including Worlds Beyond Earth, where visitors soar through Saturn's rings, dive into buried oceans, and search for signs of life on distant worlds. The museum houses THE PAST IS PRESENT, an exhibit of ancient astrolabes, handmade telescopes, art, and literature that shaped humanity's understanding of space. Guests explore how researchers study astronomy and contribute to real science through interactive displays. The planetarium offers immersive dome experiences, field trips for school groups, and virtual programs accessible from home. The Cosmic Cafe serves freshly prepared lunch and snack options with views of Chicago's skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows. A Space Shop on the upper level sells educational toys, space books, and Adler gear without requiring museum admission. Illinois residents receive free admission on select days with proof of residency.
