While it may seem hard to believe, the summer season of Chicago offers much more than the countless savvy music festivals, movies in the parks, and the mouthwatering food festivals.  Beyond Lollapalooza and the Taste, Chicago is home to some of the fascinating and engrossing museums—from the third century sculptured army of China at the Field Museum, to the 21^st century sculptured Lego sets at the Museum of Science and Industry.  Chicago’s museums not only offer an insight of the arts, animals, music, and cultures of the world’s past and present, they also present more than a dozen special events and exhibits for you to drink, work out, dance, and most importantly, learn something new.

Editor’s Note: All locations are Pokestops—catch em’ all.

Adler Planetarium – Adler After Dark

Adler Planetarium not only offers that but the new Adler After Dark summer experience adds drinks and live entertainment to top it off. The 21+ experience gives you open access, unlimited shows, and unique entertainment—possibly providing the best date idea you can get in Chicago (I realize how nerdy that sounds). The exclusive museum experience takes place every third Thursday of the month from 6:00-10:00 p.m., offering different themes every month.

DePaul Art Museum – Yogo in the Museum

With all the beer from the previous museum events, you’re going to need a little exercise to clock off those heavy calories. Bringing the museum experience a little closer to home, DePaul’s Art Museum offers the newest and most unique way to connect with artwork. Yoga.
