Jake SmithSeptember 11, 2012Check out the engraved diamond pin in the gem exhibit. It has the Dutch king's face on it!
Kirstjen LorenzJuly 28, 2015Natural history in an old fashioned setting. This is was Wikipedia used to be.
TakeThe FieldApril 13, 2012Come check out Green Home Chicago downstairs by the East entrance; kids will love the recycling relay game ! #fmmn
Jessie BarberApril 3, 2010My favorite museum in Chicago. Second Mondays of the month are free, plus other random days. Even if you don't catch a free day, it's worth the admission! DINOSAURS!
Suzanne ButlerAugust 4, 2013Make sure you have a lot of time to visit...there is so much awesomeness here!
Be sure to smile at SUE, the largest and most complete T.rex fossil ever discovered. (She'll smile back at you with 58 teeth!)
All Need LoveFebruary 7, 2011This Valentine's Day, we're transforming Sue's house into the ultimate festival of love, music, comedy, and martinis! Five stages, open bar, tickets on sale now! Read more
Roger GalantMay 21, 2021It takes a while to see all the exhibitions. Good thing they have cafeteria. Fairly priced tickets.
Mark HOctober 10, 2011Saw Sue at last! They have ppl around her exhibit to answer ur questions n the lady we spoke to was super enthusiastic n helpful!
venessa tarbellNovember 16, 2011The children's area closes before the rest of the museum. If you have kids, make sure you stop by here first!
Scott KleinbergMarch 10, 2012I just love the whole Museum Campus area. Gorgeous views and stuff to do.- Scott KleinbergMay 25, 2012There's a wonderful Chicago project on Instagram called #instagram312. When you upload your Chicago photos to Instagram, tag them #instagram312 to be included in the collection.
Kristine TagueJune 24, 2013If you're into geocaching there are a few near the field, including one near the steps!
Jason EppersonDecember 30, 2011Here on a busy day...really annoying to be around all of these trashy people at such a classy museum. At the McDonalds, bottom of the barrel fries, no ice, and no free seats.
Sarah KeenanMay 25, 2010Check out the latest current exhibit and don't forget to go upstairs to see the neat meteorite collection, especially the meteor that landed in rural IL.
MalloryFebruary 6, 2013i'm pretty sure the wax figurines of the indians move when you aren't looking.......especially the chief. you've been warned
TopGolf BearSeptember 28, 2011Place gives me the creeps. It’s like a cross between a graveyard and a taxidermist’s office. I’ll be at TopGolf with a beer if you need me.
Edward deGruyDecember 12, 2010take the Saturday tour of the Egypt exhibit and get John. I think he knows more than the archaeologists that excavated the tombs.
- Gregory TempletonMay 30, 2013Plan to spend an entire day here if you want to see most of the exhibits.
Duffee MaddoxAugust 25, 2017There's so much to do! Cannot be done in a few hours. Plan strategically.- The Crown Family PlayLab is open Thursday through Monday from 10 AM to 4 PM, last admission is at 3 PM.
Thomas AdamsAugust 24, 2013Some cases in the dioramas had weird labels and the IMAX was not really an IMAX. But the exhibits were cool.
Chris RobertsJuly 4, 2010The back of the pacific islands exhibit will take u into a secret back entrance to the ticketed climate change exhibit for free
mJanuary 18, 2012Make your way over to Alder Planetarium on a clear evening.. See the stars like you never have before!
Joanna FlammJuly 8, 2013The posted admission prices are high, but there's an unlisted "Basic Admission" price that is less. Just ask!

"Chicago is a great city, and this museum will tell you more about the great history. Relative small museum, easy to combine with a visit to the nearby Chicago Zoo."
Edwin Valenti - 7.0
"This is a long exhibit. Wear some comfy shoes. Also, some of the signage is slightly out of date (Queen Charlotte Islands in BC are now called Haida Gwaii)."
Toria L - 7.2
"Very busy section of the museum. A lot of reading material, so if you want to see it all, plan to spend the day just in this exhibit!"
