Well it is a school week and of course field trips lots, of children and more but it was a enjoyment and the security and register people were friendly i would love to go back in the future:) jo

I visited the Field with my 13 year old son. We had a nice time and actually saw all three floors in only a few hours. The exhibits were very interesting. Suprisingly, we enjoyed the huge selection of preserved animals the most. They have a specimen of almost every animal created! We didn't dawdle but kept moving and kept it interesting. The 4-D movies are very good and we loved both of them. Don't miss the Egyptian exhibit on the bottom floor--it's pretty good! All in all, a great attraction!

The Field Museum is a wonderful place to take children. You can have a great experience for adults as well. It includes all aspects of history from multiple cultures of the world. My favorite exhibit was the Ancient Americans. The entrance to it is a stunning video projection of mammoths that makes you feel like you really are in "ancient Chicago". The Egyptian exhibit was also good. I loved that they had stones from the actually pyramid. Very beautiful and authentic.

Seeing "Sue" the T-rex was definitely a highlight, but there are lots of neat things to see here! Some of the exhibits seem a little old fashioned, but there are plenty of others which are modern and fun with lots of interactivity. Our favorite was the Real Pirates exhibit! If you get a chance to visit while this exhibit is still open, definitely pay the extra admission! Also, this museum is HUGE, so I would devote an entire day to spend here.
