An amazing museum, the Field Museum has one of the world's finest collections of paleontology and fossils. The museum is located in Grant Park.
Here are the must-see treasures and permanent exhibits in the museum:
SUE the T. rex
This is not only the museum's absolute signature attraction, but also the largest and best-preserved (with 90% skeletal completeness) Tyrannosaurus rex fossil in existence. Located in the Griffin Halls of Evolving Planet on the second floor, it is paired with special lighting and multimedia animations to let you fully experience the overwhelming presence of this apex predator from 67 million years ago.
Máximo the Titanosaur
Upon entering the museum's soaring main hall, this gigantic creature will immediately catch your eye. Máximo is currently the largest dinosaur known to humanity (about 121 feet long, weighing 70 tons in life). This replica is so large that visitors on the second-floor walkway can take photos directly at eye level with its head.
Inside Ancient Egypt
This exhibit simulates the interior passageways of an ancient Egyptian tomb, making you feel like an explorer venturing deep into a dark burial chamber. It features 23 real human mummies and over 30 animal mummies, detailing the embalming and mummification process with a deeply immersive atmosphere.
Griffin Halls of Evolving Planet
In addition to seeing SUE, this hall comprehensively traces the evolutionary history of Earth's life from single-celled organisms to human ancestors. Along the way, you can see precious fossils of dozens of prehistoric beasts, including saber-toothed cats, woolly mammoths, and Triceratops, offering plenty of educational value and visual impact.

the field museum was perfect to take the kids to! amazing dinosaur structures and it’s quite interactive. only thing I’d say is the bistro food is small for what you pay for but, it is delicious! recommend taking the kids here for a few hours.

There's a wide variety of museums, covering everything from ancient biological evolution to present-day organisms and artifacts. One of the most important exhibits is Sue, the T-Rex fossil, which is very cool!

It was a decent experience. A big part of the section I wanted to see was closed so it was a little disappointing but I liked the rest of the museum. I'll try to go back again to give it another try but it's a good learning experience about other culture's history and anatomy of different animal species.

I was expecting something better. Although the dinosaur area was spectacular. The tree area was cool.

Review of Chicago Field Museum of Natural History Tickets
The Field Museum of Natural History is overwhelming in size. Standing in front of the dinosaur fossils makes you speechless, and you realize how small humans are. The exhibition route is well-organized, so there's no time to get bored, and the explanations are easy to understand. I highly recommend it because it's a space that both adults and children can enjoy. I really recommend seeing the awesome T-Rex.

It is a large museum where you can see dinosaurs, nature, other animals, plants, and the history of changes by continent. We used the all pass and can easily see it in about 3-4 hours. There is also a cafeteria in the museum where you can have lunch. You may bring some light snacks.
