阿德勒天文博物馆的点评
点评：This place was a bit of a disappointment to me. Some of the negative reviews (here on Trip Advisor) argue that this museum is only interesting for children but, in my opinion, it doesn’t even come to that: I think the only public for this are space-nerd kids.
To a regular visitor, this isn’t very attractive. It is not dynamic enough, the explanations are either over-complicated or over-simplified, and it doesn’t explore its more interesting topics (there are way too many rooms dedicated to instruments and technical data).
Maybe it’s just me, but I would’ve made one room for each planet —even having different temperatures and colored light— instead of showing so many telescopes. Or imagine one room dedicated to black holes, for example: cold and with a constant 'empty' noise, where we could learn about their formation and their dangers in a way that doesn’t feel made for toddlers or for physicists.
And don’t get me wrong; the museum mentions all of this, but in a rather simple format.
The history exhibition is not any better. They briefly mention relevant people or civilizations that discovered something but, again, with no museographic efforts. Also, they don’t mention the Mayans in that part.
I will say though that I liked the room where they talked about light pollution. Now THAT is well made! (And clear… and important) Really glad an environmental issue is being discussed in this museum, and showed to the younger audience as it is.
I would also like to point out that for those whose first language is not English, I just don’t see this visit working out. Some parts have signs in Spanish, but then they suddenly disappear, like they forgot to translate the rest haha. And I don’t know if the movies/shows are presented in different languages throughout the day, but at least in the ones we saw (in English), they had no subtitles.
Our City Pass ticket included two movies/shows, so we chose one about the Chicago Sky (and the stars that can be seen at night) and another one about the Solar System. The first one was in a big auditorium and it was more of a presentation, so a host would use a light to point at the screen and explain it. It was interesting, though I would’ve personally preferred it if it had been a 3D IMAX movie. I think that place is ideal for a more cinematic and immersive experience. The second one was in a smaller theater and, luckily, it was a movie this time, but it was —surprise, surprise!— childish. Which is a shame because the subject was really interesting.
Lastly, I’d also like to mention that they don’t have any storage for wardrobe (coats or backpacks) —or at least they didn’t on the day of our visit— and during winter that is really uncomfortable/inconvenient, as you have to carry things around during your whole visit.
Anyway. Despite everything, I didn’t entirely hate the Adler Planetarium, but I was expecting way more —and I also find it particularly disappointing because I know this place has the potential to be a bit better.

翻译：这个地方让我有点失望。一些负面评论（在 Trip Advisor 上）认为这个博物馆只对孩子有趣，但在我看来，它甚至没有达到这个程度：我认为这个博物馆的唯一观众是太空迷孩子。
对于普通游客来说，这不是很有吸引力。它不够动态，解释要么过于复杂，要么过于简单，而且它没有探索更有趣的主题（有太多房间专门用于仪器和技术数据）。
也许只是我，但我会为每个星球做一个房间——甚至有不同的温度和彩色光——而不是展示那么多望远镜。或者想象一个专门用于黑洞的房间，例如：寒冷且不断有“空洞”噪音，我们可以以一种不适合幼儿或物理学家的方式了解它们的形成和危险。
不要误会我的意思；博物馆提到了所有这些，但格式相当简单。
历史展览也好不到哪里去。他们简要提到了发现某些东西的相关人物或文明，但同样没有博物馆方面的努力。此外，他们没有在那部分提到玛雅人。
不过我要说的是，我喜欢他们谈论光污染的房间。现在那做得很好！（而且很清楚……也很重要）真的很高兴这个博物馆正在讨论环境问题，并向年轻的观众展示。
我还想指出，对于那些母语不是英语的人来说，我觉得这次参观没什么意义。有些地方有西班牙语的标志，但后来它们突然消失了，就像他们忘了翻译其余的一样哈哈。我不知道电影/节目是否全天以不同的语言呈现，但至少在我们看的那些（英语）中，它们没有字幕。
我们的城市通票包括两部电影/节目，所以我们选择了一部关于芝加哥天空（以及晚上可以看到的星星）的，另一部关于太阳系的。第一次是在一个大礼堂里，更像是一个演示，所以主持人会用一盏灯指向屏幕并进行解释。这很有趣，不过我个人更喜欢 3D IMAX 电影。我认为那个地方更适合电影和身临其境的体验。第二次是在一个较小的剧院里，幸运的是，这次是看电影，但 — 令人惊讶的是！ — 很幼稚。这很遗憾，因为主题真的很有趣。
最后，我还想说的是，他们没有任何存放衣柜（外套或背包）的存储空间 — 至少在我们参观的那天没有 — 冬天这真的很不舒服/不方便，因为你必须在整个参观过程中随身携带东西。
无论如何。尽管如此，我并不完全讨厌阿德勒天文馆，但我期待更多 — 而且我也觉得特别失望，因为我知道这个地方有潜力变得更好。
