Located on the lakefront in Hyde Park, the Museum of Science and Industry, like its counterparts on Museum Campus, is a historic structure that has been renovated over time to improve its access for all visitors. It, too, is huge, with over 800 exhibits and 2,000 interactive opportunities. Most are accessible with a few major exceptions like the German U-boat, which can, however, be viewed from the ramps that wrap down and around the vessel. One can even roll onboard a real Boeing 727, suspended at balcony level.
