The Museum of Science and Industry had its start in 1933. The collection of artifacts ranges from a full-sized airplane, to a coal mine from Southern Illinois, to a zephyr, and more. We spent hours wandering around the museum, checking out the different exhibits. There was even a room which contained a huge fairy castle, built for a silent movie actress Colleen Moore, bringing her love of fairytales to life. There was a hatchery in the museum as well, describing the process of incubation, fertilization, and hatching. We were able to witness two chicks hatching in the time we were there. There were flight simulators to take rides in, and the one we chose was a space chase. The time there was cool, learning about the various industries that formed the foundation for industry in our country.
