Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago

Complimentary parking is provided for evening events in our on-site, underground ramp with easy access into the building.

Evening events can start after MSI closes to the public. MSI is open to the public daily from 9:30 a.m.to 4 p.m., with extended hours (9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) during spring break, summer months, and the winter holidays. Special event start times are customized based on the client’s needs. Four hours of use are included in the rental based on the details of the event. MSI has wonderful private spaces for daytime meetings and events.

Event setup before the Museum closes requires prior permission. More comprehensive A/V and lighting setup may be done the night before with advance approval. Please speak with your Event Consultant if you have additional setup questions.
