Toddler Friendly - I was worried our three year old would be bored but he loved wandering through exhibits, especially the just of animals and dinosaurs. He enjoyed it so much he cried the next day when we walked by it to go somewhere else because he wanted to go back! There are plenty of spaces to sit outside exhibits or in the basement vending machine area and you can bring snacks as long as you eat in designated locations.

Time Well Spent - The enormity of the museum defies description!!! Almost every subject on earth was on display in magnificent form!!! It would require several days to see them all and read the displays. The staff was very helpful, quite friendly, especially the security guards and some of the helpers, like Yvonne and Sabrina! Food was excellent too!!

Great time - Definitely give yourself lots of time to explore! There are many things tucked in nooks and crannies. Good walking shoes are a must! For people uncomfortable with actual bodies on display, be aware that the Field does have real mummies on display.

Expected a little bit more. - Field Museum was just good. Honestly I expected a little bit more. Is a very big museum, with many things, but some of them were irrelevant for me. The only thing that was really interesting was the earth and dinosaurs section, where is SUE, one of the most complete and best-preserved skeletons of Tyrannosaurus rex, among others types of dinosaurs. Outside of that, was just ok.

Viator should have a better way to scan tickets, our tickets were not on the system - Great museum, but horrible experience with Viator. Viator should have a better way to scan tickets, our tickets were not on the system for all the attractions during our staying. The people at front desk had trouble because the app don't let them scan the QR codes. We talked on the phone with one of the attending and she was able to help us out, but this was a stress that should've been avoided.
