Teen Approves - The T-Rex ‘Sue’ is worth the visit. My teenage son enjoyed the dinosaur exhibits but he wants to be a paleontologist, so he might be biased.

Time to reflect - So much amazing information and artifacts to see. I always learn something new and am given the opportunity to pause and reflect on our planet and its inhabitants.

Amazing Museum - We needed more time! There is so much to see at the Field Museum and we are planning a second trip to see the rest. Sue (T-Rex) was awesome along with the museum overall is very well put together for all ages, informative, interactive and entertaining. Highly recommend. Plan for a full day to get it all in and enjoy the restaurant inside the museum for lunch; they had some good options for a museum.

Wonderful-lots of history - The Cats and The Early Americas exhibits were awesome! I would suggest you allow at least 4-5 hours. I was there 3 1/2 hours and those were the only exhibits I went through. There are lots of other exhibits and things to do.

Some observations - Absolutely impressive! Make sure to select what you want to see because (at least in our case) one day was not enough for us to see the whole museum. The Egyptian and the Polynesian exhibitions are particularly great in terms of museography and of the items they hold. It feels a bit wrong that they are so far from the countries they belong to, but at least they are well preserved and can be appreciated by the visitors. It is more of a mix between a natural history museum and an ethnographic museum, because it has areas dedicated to cultures from around the world. We also visited the temporary exhibition on Cats and Felines. It was good overall though I think it should make more emphasis on important topics like environmental issues and conservation efforts, instead of making the conclusion about “sharing funny pictures of your pets”. Makes it seem childish and unimportant —which it’s not. The lockers have an additional charge, but at least they are affordable and easy to use. They should be included within the fare in my opinion, because (at least in winter) they are a necessity, not a luxury. The restrooms are clean and the staff is kind. The shop has interesting items but is ridiculously overpriced, so don’t even bother. In conclusion, this museums makes for a whole day visit, and is really worth it.

Love some Sue. - We enjoyed the museum, spent an entire day there. We started on the ground floor and slowly moved our way up. There must have been 20 school classes at the museum, but there is enough room for everyone. We enjoyed the live music as well. Sue was spectacular, we saved her for the very end and had her all to ourselves.

A+ museum - I don’t give it 5 stars just because you have to pay extra for other exhibitions but besides that, great museum.

Field Museum - We walked to the museum from our hotel and had trouble finding an open entrance. I imagine this was due to lower crowds in the winter, but some signage would have been helpful! The museum is massive, an easy way to spend a cold, snowy afternoon. We did get bored with exhibit after exhibit of taxidermy. While the Field Museum was definitely worth visiting, it's a one and done for us.
