“Great experience visiting the Field Museum with my husband and our tween daughters. Everything was easy and well organized. Our 11-year-old was especially fascinated by Sue the T. rex, which was a highlight of the visit. A fun, educational stop for families—highly recommend!”
Enter Chicago’s Field Museum at 8:00 a.m., before the public, for a roughly one-hour docent-led visit focused on Evolving Planet and SUE the T. rex. Guides such as Katie, Jacob, Eleanor, and Demetric bring the fossils to life. Afterward, explore the museum on your own through the day.
“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.”
Pick a river, a sidewalk or a plate.
