Illinois State Museum

Why Scout picked it

The Illinois State Museum is suitable for a 2-3 hour educational visit, especially good for families or those interested in Illinois' natural and cultural history. Expect low to moderate cost if there are special exhibits, otherwise, it can be free for general admission.
