Home to 65-million year-old 'Sue', the nearest to a complete
Tyrannosaurus Rex that has ever been discovered, the Field Museum explores the world's diverse environments and cultures. The entrance leads into the
Dinosaur Hall, which is filled with real and replica skeletons. The
Africa exhibit experience takes visitors from the city streets into the harsh but magnificently beautiful
Sahara and into the galley of a slave ship.
Inside Ancient Egypt is just that, with 23 real mummies in a recreated burial chamber.
Shrink to the size of a bug and burrow into the surface of the soil at the
Underground Adventure.
Weekends are most crowded.
