Reviews

One of the best spots at Mag Mile to view the Skyline. It is surprising how too few people know that there an Whole Museum inside the southwest Bridgehouse ( the one near LondonHouse)  . The BridgeHouse Museum gives you a great insight on the history of the city and the Chicago river and also the historic significance of the museum. Also , from the top floor , you get to see one the rarest point of view of the traffic and all those people below.

What brought me here was two main things. It's easily accessible when walking between Millennium Park and Navy Pier, and it's free on Sundays. There are a few pleasant views and some interesting information, but I was easily distracted and not very impressed. For anyone with bad knees there are some narrow staircases and no elevator. I would not waste my time here again, as it was not for me. But to each their own.

Chanced upon this museum on the Riverwalk and paid $5 --$4 for students-- to get out of the sun.  Was surprised by how fascinating, and yet simple, the technical explanations of the bridge mechanics were, and the old electronics that were on display.  But what really made this museum unexpectedly wonderful was how it explained the entire history of Chicago through a very unique lens.  Definitely a bit of a hidden gem.

I walked and drove past this place a few times. I never knew that there was a museum in there.
