Historic Atwood Sphere:
Atwood Sphere, Chicago's oldest planetarium, was constructed in 1913. The sphere is 15 feet in diameter with 692 holes drilled through its metal surface, allowing light to enter and show the positions of the brightest stars in the night sky.

Experience the night sky over Chicago as it appeared in 1913. Although the star positions have not changed since then, we can see only a small percentage of these stars in our current night sky due to light pollution. Enter the Atwood Sphere to be guided through an audio experience identifying stars and the constellations they form.

Guided Tour:
Join us for an introductory tour and learn about the history and collections of the planetarium. You'll get an overview of the museum's galleries and be well prepared to plan your visit.
