Dine beside a World War II German submarine. Take a photo in the swirl of a 40-foot tornado. Mingle as historic aircrafts soa ... r overhead. Picnic on the site of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition—only at the Museum of Science and Industry (MSI), the largest science museum in the Western hemisphere. With thousands of exhibits, artifacts and “wow” moments that last a lifetime, MSI is the premier destination for unique and engaging events. Steps from Lake Michigan and minutes from downtown Chicago, MSI offers one-of-a-kind and spectacular spaces that can be used alone or in combination for transformative corporate events, dinners, picnics, receptions, awards ceremonies and more.

Not only is the Museum a favorite for corporate events, but it’s also one of Chicago’s most popular venues for life’s best moments: weddings, holiday parties, graduations, proms, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and birthdays.
