Come check out Green Home Chicago downstairs by the East entrance; kids will love the recycling relay game ! #fmmn

My favorite museum in Chicago. Second Mondays of the month are free, plus other random days. Even if you don't catch a free day, it's worth the admission! DINOSAURS!

Be sure to smile at SUE, the largest and most complete T.rex fossil ever discovered. (She'll smile back at you with 58 teeth!)

It takes a while to see all the exhibitions. Good thing they have cafeteria. Fairly priced tickets.

The children's area closes before the rest of the museum. If you have kids, make sure you stop by here first!

There's a wonderful Chicago project on Instagram called #instagram312. When you upload your Chicago photos to Instagram, tag them #instagram312 to be included in the collection.

Take a picture with Sue, the largest, most complete T-Rex.

Very interesting, though you better prepare yourself to walk a lot.
Sarah KeenanMay 25, 2010
Check out the latest current exhibit and don't forget to go upstairs to see the neat meteorite collection, especially the meteor that landed in rural IL.

i'm pretty sure the wax figurines of the indians move when you aren't looking.......especially the chief. you've been warned
TopGolf BearSeptember 28, 2011
Place gives me the creeps. It’s like a cross between a graveyard and a taxidermist’s office. I’ll be at TopGolf with a beer if you need me.

a-mazing museum, interesting exhibits
Jason EppersonDecember 30, 2011
Here on a busy day...really annoying to be around all of these trashy people at such a classy museum. At the McDonalds, bottom of the barrel fries, no ice, and no free seats.
Paula FreireJuly 29, 2015
One day is not enough to see everything.
Marc SelemanJuly 7, 2015
It's expensive but you could spend all day here.

It’s basically an IKEA layout with dead stuff.

take the Saturday tour of the Egypt exhibit and get John. I think he knows more than the archaeologists that excavated the tombs.
Thomas AdamsAugust 24, 2013
Some cases in the dioramas had weird labels and the IMAX was not really an IMAX. But the exhibits were cool.
