5. What, no Air Zoo or Henry Ford Museum?

Michigan got not a mention. The Air Zoo in Kalamazoo is wicked awesome (the kids love the F-18 flight simulators), and who wouldn't go to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn? It was all I could do to get my kids out of there last time.

9. The Air Zoo Is Awesome.

Lost a little of it's campiness when they moved to the new building though.

7. They missed the Chicago's museum campus.

Adler Planetarium is part of a bigger group that includes the Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium. A little down the road is the Museum of Science and Industry and just around the corner from there is the Oriental Institute, which is fabulous for Egyptian, Mesopotamian and other ancient cultures, and has lots of mummies.

Chicago is full of top notch museums. The Art Institute is amazing.

8. Very cool

I'm glad they got the Science Museum in St. Paul, but the Children's Museum a few blocks away got snubbed. And no Duluth Aquarium? They have otters, dammit. Otters!
