You have to do the Dozin with Dinos sleep over package 2 that takes you on a behind the scenes tour. Awesome
Paula AOctober 11, 2011Get ready to spend over 2h in here. There is a lot to see and to learn in this place.
Chris JelkesSeptember 2, 2011Today is the opening of the 9/11 exhibit Wichita is free for all Chicago residents for one week. Please. Do this tip. Its life changing
JasonJune 22, 2015Too much to see here! Felt like I need at least 2 full days just to see everything.
Kristin NicoleSeptember 1, 2012Come early if it's a holiday weekend, the lines are really long otherwise- Raghul ManoharanSeptember 10, 2014Sue the Tryannosaurus Rex. Supposed to be the most complete Tryannosaurus Rex fossil ever discovered.
Check out the new exhibit on Gold! Would love to point out to my husband all the lovely Jewelry.
Julie ArrisonOctober 12, 2012The Oceanic exhibit is closed indefinitely. I was so disappointed as this was what I came for, but the rest was great.
Beth DentonDecember 28, 2012They used to give all teachers free admission. Not anymore. If you're from out of state, don't bother with your ID. So much for one of the only generous side benefits of being a teacher.
John SchneiderJanuary 4, 2010Toward the middle end of the Egypt exhibit, once down on the Ground Level Floor, see if you can find the Michael Jackson bust! Read more
Brad HobackMarch 19, 2011Skip the Undergound Adventure -- my 11 & 13 year-old daughters didn't like it - neither did we. Ancient Egypt is where it's at. Onsite food choice is limited to McDonalds, vending machines, & a bakery
Blow on down to The Field Museum on this windy Thursday and say hello to SUE the T.Rex.
JADotyApril 27, 2010To really see it all, set aside a couple of days. Facilities on the 1st floor are limited. More located on ground and 2nd floors.

"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."

"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 Also, some of the signage is slightly out of date (Queen Charlotte Islands in BC are now called Haida Gwaii)."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!"
