Griffin museum is a Viatour must see

Elesa_H, Jul 2026

This museum is WORLD CLASS. This museum is great for families or friends trips. Extremely well designed and activities for all. Docents are helpful with all events. The Ann Frank exhibit was exceptional. Loved the U-505 exhibit.

The museum itself is wonderful. But the second party ticket sales didn’t work right and had to go through a a hassle when we got there, but the employees at the museum were helpful and friendly. Don’t book tickets they viator

A lot of the activities in the museum were out of order and a few things required a separate ticket, but overall a good way to spend a few hours.

Good day

It was full of discovery, and interesting things. I gave it a lower rating because of several of the hands on exhibits were inoperable.

There is so much to see, read, and learn about - the ticket price is really a bargain for what you get. If I lived anywhere close to Chicago, I’d invest in a membership. I hope to be back someday soon.

Wish I had more time. We couldn’t see everything. Will return and spend the whole day. The Tesla coil was cool and so was the fire machine.

I totally loved the experience and the new spider man exhibit they have going on right now. Haven’t been here in awhile so it was good especially for bringing back some memories. Love the blue, red, yellow, and green theme they have now. Definitely an arts lover playground. Can’t wait to return!!!!

My family enjoyed the museum. There is a lot to see, learn, and explore. We would certainly return, again. We were disappointed with the Spider-man Exhibits, though. We felt like the museum admission was reasonable, but paying an additional $22 to walk-thru some Spiderman memorabilia was not worth it. It was not very interactive. It needed a fun video history, or movie montage to be more engaging and worthwhile. Unless you're a diehard fan, it was a waste of money.
