    FAQs

    Where can I park at the Adler Planetarium?

    Public transportation is the easiest way to get to the Adler Planetarium, but there are a number of parking garages and lots including one right next to the Planetarium. There is also a parking garage at nearby Soldier Field, and there are metered spaces on many city streets if you get here early.

    Where can I eat at Adler Planetarium?

    Café Galileo's is a great spot to enjoy a quick bite for breakfast or a hearty lunch of prepared foods, soups, salads and sandwiches. While you dine, enjoy scenic views of the Chicago skyline.
