- Amer MallahMarch 26, 2016You're in the presence of one of the rarest things in the world with Sue. Not only is she one of only 6 T-Rex known, she's the most complete
- Mike WalekeJune 29, 2018The ticketing process is not user friendly and the lack of a coat check for bags in summer is a mistake. The exhibits were pretty well done and I finally got to see the Tsalvo lions.
- Josh JamourJune 19, 2012Great way to spend your afternoon. They have free wifi in the cafe and if your lucky you'll be able to snag a power outlet if you need to charge your cell
- Daniel PhelpsMay 25, 2013This 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!
- DailyCandyFebruary 25, 2014The 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.
- John HankusJanuary 4, 2016Free admission every day the month of January. Check out the dinosaur skeletons and ancient Egypt exhibit. Named after the famous Chicago businessman Marshall Field.
- Kevin M. McNally, CMPAugust 21, 2018Dinosaurs, 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."
- Crystal R.October 8, 2017The staff was great and helpful. Make sure to have at least 4 hours to roam about. Sooo much to see!
- Katie McCormickFebruary 17, 2015It'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.
- Femke van GinkelApril 8, 2016It is a beautiful building with an extraordinary collection! A must-see!
- DanL NiermannNovember 30, 2013Sometimes, the best part is hearing young children appreciate the artifacts. "I bet just that one earring costs like $100!!!" I love these little conversations.
- Leandro VicenteOctober 25, 2014Near the museum you can rent bikes for a good price. When I went there it was $7 and you could ride for 24h!
- Linda MiklowitzJuly 8, 2013So 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.
- John MillsFebruary 18, 2017It'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.
- Gordan RedzicMarch 25, 2016Get a membership, completely worth it if you will make it out there at least 2x in a calendar year.
- Samantha LeeOctober 11, 2016Great natural history museum!! The evolution of life exhibit is amazing. Very well put together!
- Brandon SullivanFebruary 16, 2013Eh I guess I expected something different. My interests don't lie heavily in ancient American dishware & the yes-we-get-it ancient Egypt. Go to the Museum of Science & Industry instead. It's top-notch
- Jennifer StraubMarch 21, 2012Came 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!
- This place is amazing. Even the animal exhibits that are hundreds of years old. Plan on spending the day.
- Cheryl KJanuary 23, 2014Really enjoyed the evolution exhibit. I learned so much. Also liked the Egyptian exhibit. Also very educational.
- Ashley NelsonMay 18, 2015The museum is always eating exciting and interesting new exhibits. Permanent exhibits are also fun.
- Ash MaeFebruary 26, 2015Had an awesome time exploring the museum with my family. Only regret is that we couldn't see everything. The museum restaurant wasn't the best though and food was way overpriced.
- Sam LopezAugust 13, 2015Go on one of the museum highlights tours. WELL worth the hour if you like museums. Plus, it's free!
- Xin NiuJune 16, 2015There are a lot of interesting exhibits. They have the largest T-Rex skeleton in the world!
- Chris NatoliJune 30, 2015Great sections on Pacific islands, Tibet, and American Indians (totem poles are very impressive).
- Will St MartinSeptember 27, 2015One of the biggest museums I've been to. I used the CityPass, really good value for money!
- Abdelhamid RiahiJuly 30, 2015The most complete and well conserved trex in the world, also the Egyptian exposition and a lot more.
- Elizabeth WJune 4, 2011Be ready to spend a few hours here and for some tired feet. Student get a discount. I thought the all-access pass was worth it. Loved the Sue movie!
- Captain DeadpoolFebruary 27, 2017We checked out the Tattoo exhibit and it was a great time. February is free for Illinois residents too so come asap before the month is over!!!!
- Jackie MannAugust 21, 2015The mummy exhibit has been a favorite since I was a kid, not to mention the stunning architecture!
- If you have kids visit the Crown Family lab. My favorite is the gem room!
- Vira DongMarch 9, 2016Last 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.
- GinaJune 9, 2017My favorite museum. Dinosaurs, cultural artifacts and beautiful building by the lake.
- ArtSchools.comMarch 31, 2011The Horses exhibit is amazing! I really liked the vintage posters involving horses (rodeo posters, American old west-style ads, etc.) near the end. Check it out!
- StefanieNovember 29, 2014There for a private event (impressive space for it) but dying to head back for the Voudo: Secret Powers of Haiti exhibit.
- Khatina BrunsonOctober 17, 2013Easily one of the best history museums - hands down. Don't miss the Evolution Exhibit on the 2nd floor.
- ToryBurchJune 20, 2013Kids will love exploring the dinosaur and mummy exhibits in this massive, old building on the water.
- Tracy HitchinsJuly 18, 2010If you have little ones, make sure you check out the crown family playlab which is located right inside the handicap/stroller entrance. It's a great place for them to play and explore!
- Ricardo LucianoFebruary 6, 2015Sue! Is a must!!! City Pass great deal! Also the dinosaurs fossils are amazing!!!
- PhotographySchools.comMarch 31, 2011The gem exhibit was fun! You can't capture ALL that sparkle with a camera, especially that S-shaped diamond in the middle display. That thing is blinding!
- Sweta MohapatraFebruary 26, 2017Don't miss watching the scientists at work on the second floor! There's one on each side of the second floor
- MetroSeeker.comAugust 24, 2012A wide selection of penny smashing machines are located on the lower level Family Area. Smash some for us!
- Nikita BorisovJuly 8, 2017Biggest and Best museum of natural history I've ever seen. Allocate a whole day for it to cover at least half
- alexis browshJune 9, 2014Don't pay extra for the special exhibits--there's plenty to see for regular admission price. The world fair exhibit was especially disappointing.
