Chicago Architecture Center Exhibits Admission

Overview

The Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) was founded in 1966 as the Chicago Architecture Foundation to save the historic Glessner House. Since then, the CAC has grown to become one of the largest cultural organizations in Chicago. Visit the CAC to view our 4,250-building scale model of Chicago, shop in our award-winning store or participate in a fun family event in our ArcelorMittal Design Studio.

In our Skyscraper Gallery, explore supersized scale models of famous skyscrapers, including Jeddah Tower, soon-to-be the tallest building in the world!

On the Chicago Model, view more than 4,200 buildings in one spectacular room at the cinematic and interactive Chicago City Model Experience.

At the Chicago Gallery learn how Chicago became the "city of architecture," with a look at its fascinating neighborhoods, housing styles and famous architects.

I was in Chicago for a few weeks, and made the excellent decision to join the Chicago Architect Center as a member for a year. This gives you access to all the walking tours (either for free or $10) as well as to the Center's exhibition, and I did as many of the tours as I could during my stay in the city. You can cover the cost of the annual membership by doing as few as 3 or 4 tours. All of the guides / docents are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly and you learn a lot about history as well as about the buildings themselves. Thanks a lot to the docents I met: Burt, Steve, Ed, Lisa, Bill, Brent, Joann, Mitch, Darcy, Jill, Tony, Joan, Rick Jessica.

A big yes to arch center walking and boat tours. Epic fail for the $14 arch center admission. Besides the epic model of chicago, there is nothing worth seeing. The other exhibits are pretty juvenile. Really basic info. A shame with the amazing history of architecture in chicago that the center is so lightweight.
