Great location. Exhibit and movie were informative. The volunteer staff Mitch even walked me to some closely landmarks, on a foggy and cold January.

We made a brief stop at the Chicago Architecture Center while exploring the city when rain surprised us. It turned out to be a fascinating and informative visit, offering insight into Chicago’s architectural history as well as future plans for expanding and repurposing existing structures. The local volunteers were very happy to answer any and all questions we had.
The center is definitely worth a visit, and we’d recommend going early in your trip. It gives you a deeper appreciation for many of the city’s buildings and neighborhoods, helping you see Chicago in a whole new light - especially from an engineering and design perspective.

While the Chicago Architecture Center conducts various walking tours, it also has several nice exhibits in their building. One of the galleries was under construction, so admission was half off, but the other exhibits about Art Deco buildings and the model of Chicago were very interesting.
