I recommend checking their website for special exhibits before you go, and pre-buying your tickets on-line. Not that their permanent exhibits aren't great, too. Besides ...

Don't waste your money on King Tut

The museum on the whole is awesome, but don't waste your money on King Tut. He's not even there! The attraction was over-crowded; and since many others paid for the "audio tour" they were standing in front of...

King Tut exhibit was a disappointment!

I had been looking forward to seeing the King Tut exhibit for months. The way it was billed in the advertising truly made it sound as though the famous mummy himself would be there. Going through the crowded...

Don't waste your money on the Pompeii Exhibit

The Pompeii exhibit was so overcrowded, it was ridiculous! You could get more out of a book I believe. DO see the Egyptian exhibit, artifacts are amazing!

Somewhat boring...

While the musuem features the most well-preserved fossilized Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton as well as a life-sized Egyptian tomb, the endless variety of stuffed animals and fake plants was admittedly somewhat...

EXCELLENT

This was an excellent place to visit. It was not too adult for children, but not to childish for adults. It had wonderful exhibits and something for everyone. Informational with being boring

A WORLD CLASS MUSEUM

We recently had the opportunity to spend time in several of Chicago's museum's. The person who is reponsible for advertising the quality of the Field Museum isn't doing their job. Without question, this museum...

yesterday today

The collections of the Field are simply inspiring. Of particular interest is the native american tepee and the wonderful, large totem poles. The pyrmid display is also awesome, right down to the real mummy.

It's gigantic

There is a ton of stuff to see here and you really could spend the whole day without a problem. I do get a little irritated, though, with the additional charges for "special" exhibits such as Chocolate or...

Big pleasures

The Field Museum rocks--it is physically huge and packs an infotainment wallop. Sue, while impressive herself, is made even more interesting with a behind-the-scenes exhibit of facts, theories and restoration...

Spend a day ... or two

This museum is a great place to spend a day whether you're a kid or an adult. Tons of hands-on activities keep children interested and there's plenty to amuse and educate grown-ups, too. There's much more to...
