Tips from locals
Hidden in plain sight. This cute mini museum shows you how the elevated bridges work.
Learn about the history of Chicago's bridges, and walk along the Chicago Riverwalk when you're done.
This is one of my favorite museums. It's small, the size of a bridgehouse, but 5 stories high. You can do this museum in about an hour and the cost is inexpensive, only $6. You learn lots about our movable bridges, river and Chicago history. Great photos throughout telling interesting stories. From the top floor, you'll have one of the best views of Michigan Ave/Wacker Dr. in the city. Free on Sundays.
