The Field Museum in Chicago was AWESOME. Sue, the T-Rex was better than we imagined. My five year old son loved it! In fact, my 5 year old was interested throughout the entire museum. The King Tut display was a little disappointing and very expensive.

I think the Field Museum is an okay place to visit. I think I went here expecting a lot of neat things, but was disappointed to find that this museum was costly and not really all that interesting. The exhibits that were included in the base price were really not that great and anything that seemed unique and interesting cost more. They had a bunch of exhibits, but nothing really outstanding or mind boggling. The one thing I did like here was the jewels room, which housed many precious and priceless jewels and stones. If you are visiting here, make sure to bring along your student ID, because it will save you a few dollars on admission. There is also a McDonalds in the basement of this place for those of you looking for something to eat as you browse.

This is a must see in Chicago! They have wonderful exhibits for the whole family! I highly recommend the Ancient Egypt exhibit which includes 12 mummies and two rooms from an actual Egyptian tomb!

I'm going to be honest on this one...the Field Museum wasn't my favorite place. I found it a bit boring, I mean how many stuffed birds and bugs can you look at? I think it was placed very conveniently near the Aquarium, Planetarium, and Soldier Field. I would pass on this one...I know it's one of the gems of Chicago, but it was a disappointment for me.

One of the greatest historical museums in the World, the Field Museum is a must for any tourist to pass through Chicago. It houses several galleries of exhibits, some limited exclusives. Millions of authentic and original artifacts you may see here within this Greco-Roman style museum. There is something for everyone, from rooms filled with priceless gems and precious stones set on black velvet to adventures through Egypt, complete with real cased mummies and carefully preserved papyrus. It will take weeks to make a thorough tour.

What struck me on first entering was the peculiar smell. This enormous building, because it has held so many artifacts from the past, has taken on an ancient aroma to add to its beautiful atmosphere. There was never a moment when this place didn't surprise me in its authenticity.

The exclusives in 2002 were exhibits on the history of pearls and chocolate. Millions of pearls, from a queen's crown and scepter to the crude, unprocessed thing itself lined the walls. Going back to Moctezuma's Mexico to experience the chocolate of then was fascinating. I remember a model cacao tree inside, this being my chief interest as a chocoholic.

Because I am an artist, I particularly loved the stuffed animal gallery, the "Nature Walk". This is a HUGE gallery filled with exotics around the world. Everything to an artists and animal lovers heart is in here.

Exhibits on culture, science, history can all be found in the Field.
