Overall, the exhibits were of high quality and in good condition. The exhibit on sports was outstanding. The activities were engaging, both posing questions and providing answers. I enjoyed reading about the history of photography and some trivia about the space program. The more static ones tended to be the historical displays, such as actual old airplanes hanging from the ceiling.
Some exhibits are above eye level for kids, especially small ones.
The museum is popular with school groups, and was quite busy the day we visited. It would probably be worse on Thursdays, when there is free admission. It is possible to see only a small part of the museum in one day. He did not see every single thing nor spend enough time with the favorites. Michael thought the Museum of Science and Industry was far more interesting than the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, which we had visited a short time earlier.
