great museum!! the staff was great and the price was incredibly reasonable for all you are able to see and experience for free! unfortunately, i can't give it 5 stars because an entire part of the egyptian exhibition is unavailable to wheelchair users - we were unable to find any access points for the second half of the upper floor part of the exhibition.
Great place to take kids. Very educational and fun! Lots to see for all age groups. We always spend about 4 hours with people who haven’t visited before. The 11 year old was greatly surprised and excited to discover the Pokeman Fossil Museum exhibit! There are some great galleries and as a lacrosse (LAX) family of three players, we totally enjoyed the history of LAX in the area “Native Truths.” There’s a couple virtual reality adventures, Gems and DNA displays, and the historic animals to see. The museum is well worth a visit.
Such a great museum, well organized everyone is very nice. Plus location so great we got to also visit the planetarium by just walking to it.
The museum was AMAZING! I had 2 kids with me. The oldest and the youngest 23 and 13. There were exhibits were both got to enjoy together and exhibits one liked over the other based on being age appropriate. I enjoyed it a great deal as well. The main attractions for us were the lions of Savoh, the Egyptian exhibit, Sue and the Gems. I highly recommend going BUT make sure you get there at 9am!! You basically have two hours before the THRONGS of kids, camps and loud people with no respect arrive. The one major flaw is the amount of people they museum lets in and the amount of camps and young kids. There definitely should be a reasonable system in place, where they can space them out, so others can enjoy. If you are an adult couple, good luck with the amount of noise.
Enjoyed the museum. Easy booking directions. Will use the app again for future bookings for other events talking place in Chicago.
Large museum!! Could easily spend a few hours here. We didn't have enough time to experience the whole museum, but really enjoyed the Sue exhibit and of course the Pokemon Fossil Museum.
First time through the Field museum with my wife and 8 year-old son. We came for the Pokemon visit and stayed for natural history exhibits. Pokemon was a hit with our kid (millennial dad also had fun) and the store at the end took their pound of flesh. The dinosaur exhibit with Sue was enjoyable as was the exhibit on Ancient Egypt. A highly recommended family outing especially for history lovers.
Plants of the world is amazing. I didn’t see this in any other museums. Guest lockers is digitalized and so easy to use. Dinosaurs are unforgettable.
I visited solo and five hours was not enough for this incredibly organized museum! Learned so much and was so excited to see " Sue" the dino!
I had not been to the Field museum in many years and there is a lot to see. We spent a couple of hours looking at different exhibits (I find the layout of the museum a little confusing) and then had a snack I. The cafe. The coffee bar is a plus. Then we went to the second floor and saw “Sue” and other dinosaurs. I am really glad I took the time to go there again after so many years
