I went on a weekday after making an online reservation because I wanted to learn more about Jane Addams and Hull House. There was no ticket cost and no wait, which made it feel like a very good value for the amount of history inside. The exhibits involve a fair amount of reading, but they are organized well, with artifacts like her Nobel Peace Prize, books, dress, and the model of the original house. The building still feels like a real home in places, not just a standard museum. It took me around an hour and a half at a steady pace. Parking around UIC is not the easiest, so public transit is probably the simpler option.

The museum was very interesting. There were no tickets to purchase but we did have to make a reservation on line. My favorite part was the death mask of Jane and getting to see her noble peace award

Really cool place, so much history there as Jane Addams and the women who surrounded her did amazing things. My only feedback is that there was some opportunities missed. The store was not one at all. I came ready to spend money for trinkets celebrating the visit and celebrating the field of social work during social work month and left with a couple of bookmarks.

Very cool museum with really interesting curation that invites you to explore what this place means in history. I don't think I've been to another house museum that felt so much like a place people actually lived, nor one that uses questions to such good effect to prompt guests to think critically about the place, the people, and the impact. Even Miss Addams' books are used as interpretive objects with bookmarks that tell you more of the study. I'm impressed and I really enjoyed it.

Really cool place! Tells the amazing story of fighting for women's rights in an era where this was practically un-heard of. I throughly enjoyed the tour and the artifacts they had on display. Jane Addams nobel prize is here, her books, and really interesting stories and personal accounts of the people she helped and vis-versa. Only downside was parking around UIC is not cool. I was blasted with a $75 parking ticket after my tour
