“Interesting Participatory Art but Make This Lower on the Priority List of Chicago Museums”
Definitely an interesting museum for looking at art from a different perspective. Most reviews say... read more

Overall it was definitely a cool place HOWEVER way too short of an experience for how expensive it is. Wishing there was more. We went during their winter escape special event. When we got to the exit of the museum we had to go back and ask the employee where the special exhibit was. It ended up being just a video of lake Michigan in the winter. Extremely disappointing. The museum says 1-1.5 hours to navigate through but it was definitely more like 20-30 minutes at best.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry your experience was not what you expected.
Our museum space and exhibits were transformed for winter wonderland theme, Iced Inn, with the addition of the Iced Inn Lounge, you should've received a complimentary s'mores pass as part of our food and bev experience. Our exhibits for Iced Inn were thematically and visually chilly with icy blues and white hues. A lot of our exhibits require guest interaction and we apologize if you did not have the chance to experience it fully.

This was a waste of time. Several of the exhibitions were broken- sensors not noticing us standing in the correct position. The first room, blue room , seasonal fireplace and one other not working. This cost almost $200 for a family of 4 and we went over a year ago and it was awesome. This new change cut corners and was terrible. We spent more time waiting to go into an exhibit than seeing the entire place.
Go to Illusions or Color Factory instead.
Totally disappointing!

The reviews here warned me that this was an average experience, but I really love Yayoi Kusama and went anyway. This was not my favorite Yayoi infinity room. The museum is fun, but way overpriced. Maybe for $20/$25 but at double that for a one hour experience, I think you can pass

Kept seeing ads on social media so we decided to check it out. My oldest son and I went to Japan in beginning of June 2023 and experienced Team Labs Tokyo so it basically set the bar for us when it comes to interactive/art experiences/exhibits. There are some cool parts of this exhibit that were cool and others fell short. The bathroom was a unique experience as well. However, it only took about 1-1.5 hours to complete and it wasn't that busy when we went, but wanted to enjoy each exhibit.
