About Museum of Science and Industry

The Museum of Science and Industry is the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere, housed in the magnificent 1893 World's Columbian Exposition Fine Arts Building. After-hours corporate buyouts allow guests to wander freely through 14 acres of exhibits — including a captured German U-505 submarine, a full-scale coalmine, and the iconic 40-foot Christmas tree — with none of the public crowds. The Grand Rotunda is a breathtaking corporate dinner setting with coffered gold ceilings and marble columns.

Aurora is Illinois' second-largest city, and the run to O'Hare along I-88 and the Tri-State (I-294) is a daily reality for its executives and travelers.

From Joliet to O'Hare means I-55 north to the Tri-State — a stretch where traffic timing makes or breaks a flight. Our chauffeurs build buffer for the I-55/I-294 interchange and track your inbound flight on the return so you're met at baggage claim, not the curb. One flat fare, no peak pricing, regardless of the hour.

35–55 min📍 22 milesFrom $130

Elgin sits a straight shot down the Jane Addams (I-90) from O'Hare, making it one of our quicker northwest-suburb airport runs. Chauffeurs monitor I-90 construction and the Elgin O'Hare (I-490) progress to pick the fastest live route. Flat-fare pricing locked at booking — no metered surprises.

What Our Clients Say

Thousands of Chicago travelers book with Royal Carriage for airports, weddings, and corporate travel.

Our September wedding needed 3 vehicles — a Rolls Royce for us, a stretch limo for the bridal party, and a Sprinter shuttle for 14 guests. Every driver arrived 20 minutes early to the Drake. The coordinator handled our timeline flawlessly from ceremony through the reception at the Peninsula.

Arriving at Museum of Science and Industry — Museum of Science and Industry

Arriving at Museum of Science and Industry

The Museum of Science and Industry occupies the 1893 Fine Arts Building at 5700 S Lake Shore Dr in Hyde Park, a drive south of downtown along the lakefront. After-hours buyouts mean guests arrive in a window, so our chauffeur stages at the entrance and times the pull-up to the Lake Shore Drive approach. The Hyde Park location sits well outside the Loop, and on-site lots fill for large events, so we release curbside and hold nearby. For a museum spanning 14 acres of exhibits, a precise drop-off keeps guests heading straight into the Grand Rotunda, not hunting for the door.

Events at Museum of Science and Industry

The largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere hosts up to 3,000 guests for Corporate Buyouts, Holiday Parties, Fundraisers, and Team Building Events. A 3,000-guest buyout in Hyde Park needs staged group transport so the Lake Shore Drive entrance never gridlocks. For Holiday Parties and Fundraisers, vehicles sync to the program; Team Building Events run on agendas. With after-hours access letting guests roam past the U-505 submarine and the 40-foot Christmas tree crowd-free, planning against that 3,000 capacity and the southern distance keeps a corporate event flowing from curb to the Grand Rotunda.

Getting to Museum of Science and Industry in style

A 3,000-guest Hyde Park buyout is a volume-transport job over a real distance from the downtown hotels. A 56-passenger motor coach and Mercedes Sprinter shuttle run continuous hotel-to-5700-S-Lake-Shore-Dr loops in batches, while a 40-passenger party bus suits a celebration-minded corporate crowd heading to the after-hours event. A Ford Transit handles smaller crew and VIP groups on their own timing. We match coach and shuttle capacity to the guest list, sync the convoy to the lakefront route, and stage each vehicle at the entrance so guests head straight into the Grand Rotunda rather than hunting for the door in the dark. Coordinate the buyout transport at (224) 801-3090.
