Description

Located on Lake Michigan and voted 'Best View of Chicago's Skyline,' the Adler features the fully-restored Gemini 12 spacecraft flown by NASA astronauts Jim Lovell and Buzz Aldrin. The capsule is the centerpiece of the Adler's new permanent exhibit Shoot for the Moon, which highlights the exciting stories of space exploration and America's bold plans to return to the Moon. Try out your own Moon jump, test your lunar perception skills, or see the latest images from NASA in the state-of-the-art interactive exhibition.

America's first planetarium, the Adler offers two unique planetarium experiences. Explore Chicago's night sky and the mysteries of the constellations in the historic Sky Theater or launch into the outer reaches of space in the all-digital StarRider Theater, which is 55 feet wide and three stories tall. The Adler's astronomical collection dates back to 12th-century Persia and includes one of the world's oldest telescopes, real meteorites and over 400 sundials.
