The Chicago Sports Museum is located in Water Tower Place on the 7th floor at 835 N. Michigan Avenue. It is adjacent to Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch restaurant.

For sports people, I assume the exhibits meant something to them, too, aside from getting to do things. I got to test my reflexes, "hit" home runs in a virtual simulation, and learn just how tiny my hands are compared to Michael Jordan's. Chicago has a rich sports history, so whether you prefer sports or history, I think the museum is worth the affordable...

The waitress forgot one of the orders for one of the people that was in our party. I got the nachos and the salsa that came with it was spoiled. When I stuck my tortilla chip in it, it started bubbling and the taste was hot and ranted. The manager change it out with a fresh one. But, to only realize that the nachos were horrible. My cousin got a pretzel and the dipping sauce had the some problem the sauce was bubbly and spoiled and the cheese sauce was horrible. Her cocktails drink taste like medicine.
