The Field Museum

The Chicago Field Museum is one of the best museums in the world. Plan to spend an entire day here as there is so much to see! My favorite exhibits are the NW Pacific tribes and Evolving Planet.

Buying the family membership was most economical for our family of 6, even though we only intended to visit for 1 day! Bonus: it is good for 13 months and for many museums across the nation!

The Field Museum is a must-see for anyone who could be interested in just about anything. Choose a topic, and chances are you could learn about it here. The dinosaur skeletons are truly spectacular. Read more

Very big Museum , humans & animals history, so many areas to explore, huge building, free of charge, close to Chicago Downtown. Convenient to get a car or taxi here. Very recommended place to visit.

One of the largest, most comprehensive museums around. They have different exhibitions happening all the time. You can spend all day here and only see a fraction of what they have.

Very big Museum , humans & animals history, so many areas to explore, huge building, free of charge, close to Chicago Downtown. Very convenient to get a car or taxi here.

Ticket prices are fairly expensive , try to get a Groupon or City Pass ahead of time. There's so much to see and do! Make sure to get there early and set aside plenty of time!

My favorite exhibits here where the Vikings and Evolution . Sue was cool to see but that's about all I really liked about the museum . Like a mini American Museum of Natural History.

Dinosaurs , pyramids, cave paintings , sharks - if you don't like the Field Museum then you must've never been a kid. Home to extensive assortment of magical displays highlighting all facets of history. Read more

I loved the dinosaur/ancient fossils exhibits , and the tattoo exhibit was so cool! I wouldn't bother with ancient Egypt though, it was really short and mostly just pottery.

The Field Museum has a large amount of exhibits , you'd need two days to go through everything. Their animal and plant exhibits should not be missed. Also, their special exhibits are indeed special.

We've been here 4.5 hours and barely scratched the surface. An absolutely excellent museum - probably the best I've been to. Only the Newseum in DC comes close. Don't miss this if you are in Chicago

This museum is huge. Be sure to come right when it opens because you will need the full day. Sue is not fully on display right now but you can peak in on where she is being stored.

Had a wonderful experience visiting all of the exhibits at the Field museum. So much to see! Be sure to arrive when it opens at 9am to ensure you have time to see it all. Great for all ages!

Probably one of the best museum experiences I have ever had. Between the Africa exhibit , the mammals of Asia, evolution of life & the remains of Sue: a truly unforgettable experience. A++.

Gigantic museum of natural history and anthropology. Could and should easily spend a full day. Annoying that they make you pay extra for some exhibits , but well worth it.

This has a really large collection. From animals, plants, cultural exhibits . Take your time with the exhibits and with the people watching .

If you want to see everything at this museum and actually take the time to appreciate everything, you will need several days to wander and enjoy. Not the best place for a quick visit.

Dinosaurs , Mummies & Gems-OH MY! Another great museum offering here in Chicago for the entire family. After visiting, you'll be able to go on Jeopardy and say "Alex, I'll take history items for 800."

This place is well-loved for a reason. It has cool interactive iPads in the current special exhibits . Don't miss the climb down into a mummy 's tomb, and travel through the Earth's Mass Extinctions!

Established in 1893 to house collections from the Chicago Worlds Fair , it is one of the largest Natural History museums in the world. Must see: Sue, the most complete and well-preserved T-Rex to date.

Lots to see in this beautiful museum ! The Evolving Earth exhibit is where the dinosaurs are & though the level of information is for about middle school , you're still sure to learn a lot!

Breakfast bistro on the main floor is delicious and a great deal! Full pancake , egg , meat combo for only 7 bucks. Ken is a great chef too. :)

A Chicago staple! You have to come here if you have a few hours to spare. Great for kids and families. Take a picture with Sue the TRex!

The museum was incorporated in 1893 as the Columbian Museum of Chicago, but the name was changed in 1905 to Field Museum of Natural History to better reflect its focus on the natural sciences.

Fun fact: The museum collections contain over 21 million specimens! Our favorite exhibit is the Grainger Hall of Gems , which features more than 300 diamonds and gems from around the world.

One of my favorite museums ! But don't come hungry -- they've replaced the Corner Bakery and McDonald's with high-priced, very low quality "Museum Cafe " food.

The museum is really amazing and really big!!! If you want to see everything, needs arrive too early in the morning and be willing to walk! But is truly beautiful

Such a great museum ! Get the membership and split up your visit over a couple of days. There is so much to see, you'll be exhausted if you try to take it all in, in one day!

The big draw here may be Sue (the world’s largest, most complete T. rex skeleton), but there are plenty of exhibits to geek out over, from the wonders of the 1893 World’s Fair to Egyptian mummies .

The Field Museum was one of the more wished for places throughout 2015’s I Want Somewhere holiday campaign. Where’s your somewhere? Enter to win a bucket list experience. Read more

The architecture of the great hall is stunning by itself, but the rest of the museum easily deserves a visit at least once. The special exhibits can be hit or miss.

This is an exhibit that changes every few months and make history a lot more fun for individuals to learn. This is a place where the brain gets to learn new facts.

One of the most comprehensive and entertaining museums in the world. Exhibit of the terracotta warriors of especially good.

The best taxidermy exhibit ever, which is not something I say a lot! Also, the "Machine Inside" exhibit was very cool!

Make sure you come here with a desire to learn and tons of time! Wicked cool exhibits . Very interactive and well done. Egyptian exhibit was hands down my favorite.

Leave yourself plenty of time to go here because there is so much cool stuff. Don't miss the evolution exhibit , the dinosaurs were so interesting. And thr giant sloth!

If you are here for Fare Thee Well , you must go see Everything is Dead. Plus, this is about the best museum you could ever visit. Worth every penny.

So many fascinating things to see at Field Museum . We're members now because many benefits like tickets to special exhibits , tote bag, etc. The bioluminescence special exhibit is enlightening.

So many things to see it will easily take your whole day to see everything. One of the greatest museum in the Chicago.

Last week, I went to there and visited Chinese region and Animal region. It is amazing and awesome place for me. I love there. It is close my University .

If you enter on the side where the bus stop is, for soldier field - make sure you go out the front side with the big field musuem sign. Great photo opportunities there of the city !

I live this museum . Great permanent exhibits as well as rotating ones. I loved the recent Vikings, voodou and China exhibits

It's an amazing Natural History museum . If you're a reader be there by 9 am and stay all day. You can also shop the stores. They carry fair trade items.

This is the second best museum of natural history in the U.S. The best attraction is the T-Rex Sue. If you're here make sure you visit the aquarium next door.

It's hard to summarize one of the largest & best museums in the nation, but suffice it to say that the Field Museum is spectacular by any measurement.

Came here on a Saturday. Expect to wait in line 30-45 minutes. And, don't think you can see it all in an afternoon. This museum will take you a day to go through. But, it's worth it!

You need a few days to get though this fantastic natural history museum . The Hall of Gems and the History of Earth are amazing.

The exhibits are all fantastic. You could easily spend two days there without seeing it all.

Fun for all!! Save your money by get a package deal and to avoid being in a line . Make sure you're in your comfortable shoes because to get the best out of this place, you'll walk a lot!
