Zocalo Group Reviews

Amazing museum. Decently priced admission. Friendly and helpful staff!
I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

It was fun and a nice place to take children to explore. Very interesting exhibits and tons of information/fun facts. The Jurassic world exhibit was super exciting to have one of my favorite childhood movies from Jurassic Park come true (in a good way).

The specific exhibitions are paid a la carte and to enjoy it you have to pay the global amount of 38.00 $ US. We can however spend a whole day there is to see if we like the natural sciences he will say

A very nice place to go with family and little kids

Great place! So much to see really. Opt for the high end per person to get your best value.

A great place with a variety of art and history mainly from before the great industrial revolution. A great way to see how humans lived in previous eras.

The Field Museum is an awesome museum with amazing exhibitions.

Coolest most badass museum i have ever visited! I could spend 100 hours here and it wouldn't be enough

Great museum, the layout just flowed. There were so many great artifacts.

Very big. Used citypass made it easy and had access to everything

Honestly, I've never been here. But I love the brain scoop, so I'm rating it a 5 for Emily.

This place is a great example of how human curiosity can lead us to accomplish big feats such as knowing more about how we came on this planet itself. Please go here if you love dinosaurs or are simply curious and interested in science. You won't regret visiting it.

New dino display is awesome! Members night in the off limits areas is so fun! Appreciate the experience.

Sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso da questo museo.

I reperti sono tantissimi e il museo molto vasto.
Ho impiegato almeno 4 ore per vederlo tutto, senza purtroppo avere tempo di vedere tutti i dettagli.







Assolutamente consigliato!

Great artifacts. Small diner inside. Also a bartop with coffee and draft beer.

Sue is awesome. They have some great permanent exhibits. Check out the 3D theater and the Sue film. Only 20 minutes. The bottom level has a great play space for little kids.

So much to offer. Tough to do in a day, try to plan your exhibits ahead or do the whole museum over a weekend or multiple trips.

Fantastic experience. Way more than you can see in one day.

Of all the museums I have been to, this was definitely the best. There is just so much to see, read and study that I could spend here weeks and still not get bored and not cover everything. I spent half a day here and tried to cover as much ground as possible. This is definitely a must see place in Chicago. And yes, don't miss Sue, the world's best preserved and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex bones!

The exhibits were fun and educational! Had fun in the underground exhibit! The food was expensive and sub-par, so bring your own. The 3D was awesome! Plenty of things to see.

Excellent,. Nature, history and traditions in one place. Do not miss visiting.

The place, food, and exhibitions are good, but security guards are prejudice fools who should have their brains beaten out of their heads.

Top notch natural history museum. Excellent dinosaur, fossil, and gemstone sections and more.

One of the most education places in Chicago. The "Sue" exhibit is fascinating. I will suggest the 3D movie on T-Rex too, but don't take the small children. I loved the show but it's about a meat eating dinosaur that weights 30,000 lbs.

Amazing exhibits and so much science happening here!!! Best place in Chicago for kids.

The museum is quite large and has fantastic displays of animals and ancient Egypt. We stumbled upon an Egyptian tour guide named John that really made our day. He gave us tons of fascinating information and answered our kids questions happily ( they asked him at least 50!).
The only complaint we have is the bistro is incredibly over priced (plan about $15-20 per person) and the staff attitudes were quite bad. Skip eating there or bring your own food and enjoy it in the lower level vending/cafeteria areas.

Awesome dinosaur exhibits. Lots to see here. I will need to come back to see it all.

A variety of exhibits to entertain many different ages and interests.

First time visit. So much to see. Plan on spending a good part of the day wondering around the exhibits. Make sure you get a map so you can find your way around and mark off the areas you've been. make it a point to stop here. You won't regret it.

One of the best museums in North America. Huge beautiful building for viewing architecture, but the exhibits are large with lots to see in each. You get a full over view of what you are looking at - wildlife, planetary evolution, Indian culture, etc. It s easy to spend all afternoon wandering the exhibits.

I had a great time at this museum, we were there over the weekend and we found some really cool exhibits. I wish the Egyptian exhibit was included in our package.
I had the explorer pass, they should make it more clear on the app.

What an amazing museum. We went with the mummy exhibit and it was absolutely fantastic. There is so much to see here you could spend at least two days seeing all the sights.

And the dinosaurs! Our little gal loved seeing all the bones and interacting with the kiosks.

It it really a must see destination.

Massive museum with great exhibits. Spent 4 hours there, but easily could've spent 2 days looking through each exhibit.

Pretty much every animal on the planet is stuffed somewhere in this Museum. The Egyption exhibits are really top-notch, as are the dinosaurs. It was annoying that our CITYpass would not cover the special exhibition on the clay soldiers

Wonderful museum. Love to see it all, could easily spend a whole day here and we did!

It is interesting to see that a beautiful museum fossil is really interesting and that some of the sections are boring. It is interesting that the people who are renovating the Esenler are working in a live compartment so that they can be seen from the outside

Have been twice and have had a great experience both times. My son and I were treated to an early morning lesson by one of the curators making their rounds in the Egyptian area. He took the time to take us around and point out a lot of different facts and made the experience very personable. Also visited several years prior when the King Tut exhibit was touring the country. I enjoyed the museums artifacts better than the traveling exhibit. So much to experience a simple review cannot do it justice. Will come back next time we are in Chicago.

A must see! Sue, the T Rex and the Fighting Elephants in the Grand Hall start your visit. Great dioramas and exhibits. The dinosaurs are cool.

nice, but the food was a little pricey and we had to wait 2 hours in line [in the rain!!!] to get in to find out they were letting members[us] in before the other people, next time if you ever go there make sure to check everything out!

An amazing ongoing collection of human and natural history. There's a Noah's Ark worth of animal specimens that you'd have to travel the world to see and a constantly updated collection of art and craft from around the world. A destination not to missed if you are in the Chicago area.

Awesome place with great historical artefacts including the giant the rex sue

Beautiful place, full of much knowledge. Dedicate a whole morning

Need at least two says to cocer this awesome museum. Friendly staff. Great customer experience.

Had an excellent time at the Field Museum! I will admit that I had a difficult time finding a more accessible entrance, and rather than walk all the way around the building, I chose to walk up the front stairs. They do offer wheelchairs to those who need them and have elevators clearly marked on maps that they hand out to every guest. Some of the exhibits are a bit difficult to maneuver, one with rather steep, long ramps in it, but we managed and had a great time otherwise. The special exhibits available are incredible, and I enjoyed myself immensely. I definitely want to come back here again!

The atomoshere was nice everybody was hrlpful. But sue is way too hyped

Great place to learn about history, look at the skyline, and entertaining for kids!

Wonderful, Sue and the amazing Paleolithic Venus ...

If all the exhibits were working I would rate 5 stars.

Amazing museum, a bit overwhelming if you spent a whole day here you could enjoy ever6 exhibit. It is quite exhausting if you're trying to do other things as well.

This museum is a must see for all out of town visitors and locals alike. The care that goes into each exhibit and display is world class, and the sheer variety and scale of their collection could take a week to view thoroughly. The museum itself is historical, yet modern and well kept. It also has exhibits for young and old and everyone in between. Definitely worth a special detour.

Definately an iconic museum. Vast collections of different time periods and topics. Sure to please the whole family.

This place is amazing. One of the best museums in the world.

A beautiful bastion of science, history, art, and culture. I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to see some of the Terracotta Warriors.

The Field Museum is the best. I like attend this place every couple months. Last time I attended some exhibition about Ancient Egyptians. It was my favorite, bc I'm crazy about Ancient Egypt. I really recommend to everyone go there. And if you resident IL or student you can get tickets for $15.00. So, have fun!

Came to see the Sue exhibit with the whole family and just loved being able to see and explore so much more! I highly recommend this museum to anyone visiting Chicago. There is so much to see we weren't even able to do it all in the 5 or so hours we were there.

Always a fun visit. Some of the best Native American and Pacific Northwest/Artic Native collections around, really amazing.

Awesome - my favourite was the animal displays- I did the basic package which was well priced for what I got

The musseum has a great collection, many different things to see, you definitely need more than 3 hours just to see the basics. I wish they would suggest a path to walk through the rooms without missing anything or having to come back. Nice staff, clean restrooms.

The only problem was that they have so much technology there it interferes with you phone service

Great experience, wonderful exhibits. Does not offer discount for military retirees

Family favorite to visit from out of town. Food extremely limited for multiple food allergies, my son allergic to top 8 + (but soy oil ok) can eat the fries downstairs without a reaction.

Spent the day with my 5 mth old and 10 mth old. They loved all the things to look at and touch. Blessed the bathrooms had changing tables easily accessible. Wasn't crowded and was elevator accessible for the strollers. Only wish we would have bought some attraction tickets. Parked at the stadium parking across the way which was heated so babies didn't get chilled.

I brought my nephews here and spent hours here. They never got bored with any exhibit.
