    A museum all to ourselves
    snowsescon, Nov 2023
    This was a very unique experience. We were 2 of 3 people on the tour so it truly felt like we had the museum to ourselves. This museum is filled with interesting exhibits and covers history, science, different cultures, and many more fun topics. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. If you wanna avoid the crowds, i recommend this tour!

    We loved the tour. Are guide was wonderful.. we were lucky that it was just the three of us so it was a private tour. Then we where able to explore the rest of the museum.

    Wonderful experience! Turned out we were the only two people on the tour which made it extra special. Highly recommend this one! Worth every cent.
    Personal tour of the Sue exhibit

    Awesome experience We had early access with no crowds. Our guide was very informative and friendly. I highly recommend doing this if you want a personal tour without crowds.
    Do it again

    Guide brought early earth to life. Smart, well- spoken, warm. Best hour of our 4 day trip. Please tell people to go to the East entrance
    educational, reflective and awe inspiring

    the dinosaurs exhibits were the very coolest and a very close tie was the tour we took that discussed and showed us how the world evolved to what it became today .
    Worth it!
    Misty_R, Mar 2023
    It was nice to get in early before the crowds. You get to take pics and look around. Tour guide was very informative. It is a huge museum so you won't get to see it all before opening but an hr without the crowds is nice. You get tickets to all shows as a plus.
    Really good Museum tour experience
    Susan_G, Feb 2023
    It was amazing walking around with my tour guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable, before anyone arrived. I was able to take some really great pictures of the exhibits that I liked. My tickets also gave me entry to a 3D movie experience which was awesome.
    Early Access Worth Every Penny!
    Cynthia_T, Nov 2022
    With the early access, for an hour, we were the only visitors in the museum. It was definitely worth it. We had a guided tour of the part we were the most interested in, which was the fossils. This to me is the only way to visit if you know this may be you're only time to experience the Field Museum.
    Worth the extra money.
    Noel_C, Oct 2022
    Was worth the extra money and early time to have a private tour before the museum opens. Tour guide was very knowledgeable but did not overload us with information as we interacted with the exhibits.
    Great museum

    Response from Host, Jul 2022
    Thank you for visiting the Field Museum. The Early Access tour is one of four ticket packages guests can select when purchasing tickets through Viator. The Early Access tour description notes that guests receive a one- hour early entry with a personalized tour. It is a great way to see the Museum before the general public arrives and take pictures without the crowds. Guests start their visit with a personalized tour of the Field's awe-insipiring and ever-popular Griffin Halls of Evolving Planet and spend time with SUE the T. rex. SUE is the world’s largest most complete T. rex ever discovered. After the private tour, guests are free to explore the Museum on their own.
