Positives:

  • Quiet conversation spots: Use the Sue Ling Gin Garden or Plants of the World dioramas for peaceful talks together.
  • Date-night vibe: Attend After 5 at the Field for extended hours and discounted date-night tickets on the first Tuesday monthly.

Challenges:

  • Peak-time crowds: Griffin Halls and Stanley Field Hall fill up by late morning on weekends.
  • Additional fees: 3D films and special exhibitions need extra tickets beyond General Admission.

We had the opportunity to be a vendor with Captured Moments Collective Photo Booth at the Field Museum during First Bites Bash, the opening night of 2026 Chicago Restaurant Week. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and exceptionally well suited for large-scale, high-profile events. From load-in to setup, the space is thoughtfully designed and efficiently managed, which makes a big difference f...

A truly word-class museum destination. I was there for 5 hours and didn’t see it all. I’ll have to come back for another look. From dinosaurs, to ancient Egypt, to a huge collection of taxidermy animals, to meteorites and unique rocks. This has something for everyone. There’s an onsite cafe selling sandwiches and salads that are tasty and unique beers named after Sue and the dinosaurs.

You’ll want to set aside at least 4–5 hours if you really want to take it all in. The exhibits are jam-packed with fascinating info about animals, dinosaurs and so much more. My favourite sections were the plant exhibit and the jade collection. Such a cool and immersi...
