Why Moms Love This
Big enough to explore in pieces so you do not have to do it all at once
About this activity
Field Museum is one of Chicago’s most iconic museums, offering immersive exhibits on natural history, dinosaurs, and global cultures. With plenty to explore, it’s a great option for a full or partial day with kids.
The museum creates an engaging, educational experience that keeps curiosity front and center.

Pro Tips from Lucie:
Arrive early and head to SUE and the dinosaur exhibits before the biggest crowds.
A membership can quickly pay for itself if you plan to visit more than once a year.
Plan for a full day - there’s far more to see than most families expect.
