The Chicago Bears football stadium is right next door and it was game day. Fortunately the game was in the evening and we were out before the football crowds picked up, making it easy to Uber in and out. This was my second visit to the Field Museum, with the first visit about 20 years ago. This was the first visit for our kids.
One interesting thing about the Field Museum at Christmas is that it is much, much, much less busy than the Science and Industry Museum. The Science and Industry Museum has the large Christmas trees that are a big draw. We arrived in the morning and it was an immediate walk in to get tickets and walk through to the first exhibits. There is so much to see and do that if this is your first visit, I recommend you stick with the basic admission. You can pay extra for the special exhibit, but to be honest, there is plenty to see with just the basic admission. On a second or third visit I can see the advantage of the special exhibits. Oh, and the basic admission does get you to the dinosaur exhibit and Sue!
My kids loved Sue (T-Rex above)! My youngest kept asking when we were going to to the dinosaur exhibit. LOL!
The Field Museum was a lot of fun and a great way to spend a day in Chicago over the Christmas break.
