Great Museum with so many options for all ages. Very clean and spaced well so as to not feel cramped in an exhibit.
Could not access my ticket :(

NY in Chi Town

We got to see a 3D movie and the T. rex Sue. Our kids 4 and 5 loved it! Tickets were easy to use. We spent two hours at the museum but you can spend well past that if you have the stamina. Back of the museum has an awesome view of the city.
A Field Day @ The Field Museum
Jim_B, Feb 2024
Get the all-access pass, otherwise you will waste a lot of time wondering what you are missing. This pass makes for easy entry. The Field Museum is an amazing must-visit; don’t spend more time than necessary waiting in line.
Museum Trip with my grandkids
Melvina_T, Feb 2024
I really enjoyed my trip to the Museum with my grandkids on Sunday. We had a wonderful time and will be returning soon.
Haven’t visited since I...
Patricia_H, Jan 2024
Haven’t visited since I was a teen. Sue the t-rex was great to see. Also enjoyed the animals of Africa and Asia.
Best museum ever!
Brandy_M, Jan 2024
This museum is one of the best....anywhere! Just remember to give yourself about 2 to 3 hours to see it all. And also the cafe is an amazing place to eat while there. It is convenient and the food is excellent. They have lots to choose from, so there is something for everyone.
Fantastic experience!
Jennifer_M, Dec 2023
The Kings of Europe ticketed experience was fascinating! The layout of the exhibit was very well done and the artifacts in the rest of the museum were amazing..Sue never disappoints! We have two sons in their teens so this museum is a must for us when we visit. The only negative I can mention is the parking...there is minimal clear signage and we had to park near the aquarium and then walk over. Go early before 11am to beat the crowds for entry and parking.
Nice

We purchased all access tickets but when we got to the museum the staff for exhibit kept telling us they were only basic after scanning the QR code provided.
Early Civilizations
Leslie_S, Oct 2023
The early history of people and how ancient civilizations developed.
Vivid details about tools and food and everyday life. Great short videos entertained and gave a little break.
