Adler at Night is the planetarium’s Wednesday evening program. The Adler has offered free general admission to Illinois residents during the program. Check its current event listing for the date you want, ticket requirements, and any separately priced shows.

If you’re going with friends, pick an indoor meeting spot and make the outdoor stop optional. On a clear evening, step outside after the visit and look back toward the city from Museum Campus. The view makes a good finish even if the group is ready to head straight home.
