Too Much for 1 Day
There is so much to see and explore. Get rest before coming and go see the things you’re interested in first. There is so much to see and experience that it can’t be done in a single day.
My kids have very different tastes and we split up. There was something of intense interest for both.

Honestly.
It’s an awesome experience and also wear comfortable shoes or sneakers so you don’t get tired because there’s a lot of things to see and a lot of walking.

The early mummy gets the worm….😂
Fantastic. If you are a museum person doing the early admission is worth every penny. Our tour guide was great and we didn’t have to fight the crowds. This is an amazing museum and would recommend it.

Get the Extras... worth it!
Even though sometimes it is annoying to have to pay extra for some installations, it is worth it here at the Field. The extra admission (I am sure) helps with the installation and creation of the "extras". We saw "After the Dinosaurs" and the detail, stories, timeline and everything made it a wonderful experience for the family. We used to bring the kids here all the time (from Wisconsin) when they were younger, and now that they are teens they are still fascinated by it all!
