Reviews of Museum Campus (Museum)

Marie Johnson

We toured the Aquarium. Went to Navy Pier on the water Taxi. Had lunch at Harry Cary's, and went on the Faris wheel. Look up free Museum days.Get there early for cheaper parking, it goes from $25. to $50. . A pretzel is $5.59. :) LOL.. Ya only live once....go for it! It was a great day.

Mike Johnson

It's a nice place to walk around, and adds a nice touch of nature in the middle of a large city. On our trips through we have never had any issues, and it always looks well maintained by the park staff.

Frank Gill

Great area along lake Michigan with Museums,Soldier field, and Northerly island concert venue.

Parth Lineswala

The most awesome place and a must visit place when you are in Chicago. It has the best view of city

Betty Crater

You need DAYS to see it all. But it is incredible! I live the gems and Jade section. China and Sue are awesome!

Rosemary Lobato

This museum is so beautiful. Especially the Ancient Americas section. My son goes crazy for all of the dinosaur skeletons- it’s a fun place to take the family. Also, the Mold-a-ramas are really cool.

Elizabeth

Only visited the Shedd Aquarium this time, but had lots of fun. Plan to visit again to see the Field Museum and Adler Planetarium.

Brian McGlade

Great area ! Beautiful parks. Great museums. Nice walking along Lake Michigan

Rob M

This was great place for the whole family, military discount great, one show was enough for three kids, food a little expensive but was good though. Great place to kick their imagination and get off those hand held games. Oh and on the Southside of the building is a small beach. Pay the twenty for parking it's next to the planetarium. Did not go to museum yet but will soon. Spent big share of the day between both beach and planetarium.

Nakita Benjamin

Great educational day for children with good attention spans... because it will take a whole day and a half to see half of each. If going without kids, it should be relaxing and intriguing

Andy H

We attended the Adler After Dark event that was very well put together. Amazing drinks, scavenger hunt, and great atmosphere. Also they have all gender bathrooms! They had specialty drinks for the Pride themed Adler After Dark event. They had plenty of bars set up and spread out. We ordered a pizza and it came out quick and delicious!

Elvia Montoya

A great place to learn and to walk. My little one enjoys to go.

Mitul Gandhi

The best place to take friends and family visiting Chicago. The view of the Chicago skyline from the waterfront is breathtaking. It's a fantastic spot for pictures they can take back with them of Chicago.

Omar Gomez

Maybe one of the best city places. Sad thing cops in this part of the city are the worse. City of chicago if we put cops to work let's not run out tourists away let's show them a good time hire professionals

Stacia Gray

I was honestly impressed with the overall animal diversity at this aquarium, however my experience was slightly dissatisfied because of the crowding of children there. I was a visiting tourist but I expected to have a lot more visitation at the exhibit due to the price I paid. I would've liked this place to have an adults section because screaming children are not what I want to encounter on vacation. Staff was very polite and the 4D movies are a must see!!

Zuhayr Mohammed

I loved the photo gallery it gives you all the details from who shot the picture what camera they were using and where it was shot.

Teresa Benton

Museum campus is nice. We visited the Planetarium. We were dropped off by an Uber and left on the Chicago tour bus. The planetarium came with two shows that were pretty cool. My 4 y.o. enjoyed her visit.

Aditya Kaveria

Great area. Parking and signage is an issue. Beautiful views. Aquarium is awesome!

Noel Maldonado

Great to experience. The astronomers that were there are all nice and answer all you questions while waiting in line. The magnification was not as good as I would have thought. I seen Saturn on my visit. I have seen Saturn on my telescope at home and it looked very similar.

Jori Ford

One of the most beautiful spots in Chicago. Museums are great, but walking the campus you have winding bike paths, expanses of lush grass, all accompanied by endless views of lake Michigan. And not to be forgotten, this is the path to access Northerly Island. One of Chicago's top concert venues.

Alexis Ardon Flores

The Aquariums has everything you may ask, it's a wonder

xo ox

Nice view of the skyline!!!! Lovers lane

Carolina Lannes

Museum campus holds Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium and the planetarium. You could stay here for a few days to see all. Recommend getting a city pass if you plan to visit all attractions or check the free visit days.

Marisa Arevalo

Loved visiting The Field Museum on cool rainy days. There was a highlight tour at 11 am and I learned so much from our tour guide Yvonne. Go next Wednesday Oct. 9th: Free for Illinois residents.

A Google User

Very nice, you can rent a bike and walk around the place or have a picnic

Jonathon M

Such a great place to learn all sorts of things about natural history. If you're into nature, biology, and history definitely stop here. They have dinosaur fossils, accurate taxidermy, anthropological exhibits, and plenty of other natural science for you to discover

Jonathan Douglas

Lovely setting along the lake to enjoy the many museums and attractions on offer, or just take in the lake and skyline. The only downside is parking, where it will cost you an arm and a leg to park in spots that are quite a hike to where you probably want to be (unless Soldier Field is your destination). Given that public transportation also isn't very convenient (other than the bus), best to take a cab or ride share, or carpool.

Edward McClendon

Great if you can go on a free day. Dolphin show was a huge disappointment. There was no music or talking so the audience didn't even know the show started. After a few minutes, the trainers left and the audience was still started. You could hear rumblings like is that it. We stayed for a couple of minutes but soon realized, yep that's it. Not what we expected. Seeing the other tanks was nice and the large shark tank was so crowded it was impossible to get a good view. We're glad this was a free day because if we would have paid we would have been even more disappointed.

Jennilyn Vallejera

Great place for kids and adults. Visited Adler Planetarium and the Field Museum. Both were great!

Lauren Pagel

One of the best museums I've been to. The layout is very easy to follow and the exhibits are all very well displayed and interesting. The Gemstone Hall was my favorite...I could've spent hours in there. And of course, seeing Sue up close and personal was great. They have an informative video that plays every few minutes about her. Definitely worth the price. A must see if you visit the city!

Charles Bronson

Great place to take the family especially if you wanna WoW the kiddos. The Adler Planetarium has very awesome and visually mind blowing educational shows for learning about the solar system.

Colleen Rawson

Enjoyed that science and industry museum there are a lot of interesting things to see one of the largest train model layout I have ever seen. World war II Nazi sub is a well-done exhibit. Most of the special things require an additional fee beyond the standard admission. There is a cafeteria that serves a great Chicago hot dog. Parking is $25

Lalece Slack

The one and only Great Payton stands here ALWAYS.

Lindsey Smith

Outside of shedd's aquarium. Great place for all ages to to visit. Very nice dolphin show. And many other attractions.

Maiya Jones

Has a beautiful view of the lake. Very scenic, nice walking and bike path. Nice pla e to visit with the family.

Cynthia Fitzpatrick

We went on a free day. The views of Lake Michigan are beautiful. They had nice interactive exhibits for kids. One area was based on the planets and the other area was based off of space exploration. They also had movies to watch for $13 a show. We chose to go there for a few hours and not do the movies.

Andrea Bird

Easily accessible from the expressway. Parking was a flat rate for the day. Trolleys were available to take you around the museum campus at no charge. We went to see the Hamilton Exhibit ( which is now closed & moving). We stayed to eat & enjoy the lake view.

Konamaneti Sreenivasa Reddy.

Huge place all-round, neatly paved shore of sweet Michigan Lake, stadium seating to view the skyline and the boats sailing through, vivid flowers, green grass . A nice place to spend leisure time with family. Kids will enjoy deep the area. A jewel among many... of this lovely area.

Mary Biancalana

Chicago's Museum campus it's a credit to Modern urban planning. It is very easy to walk between these major museums in a safe and uncongested way. There are plenty of other options for transportation including taking a human powered bicycle rickshaw, the water taxi, and even bicycles to rent. This probably has the most beautiful view of the Chicago City skyline including its beautiful Lake Michigan. I give this area 5 stars and recommend all visitors come to this area if they have time to see this lovely part of the Great city of Chicago.

jessica munZing

It's beautiful. Clean. Well taken care. Safe. The city is finally doing something good . Total tourist attraction, but amazing to play a tourist in your own town. We love this place

Aaron Degler

Excellent. The exhibits are great and well presented as most people state. Some information just doesn't change so there isn't a reason to update the exhibit (hence why the Field Museum is also known as the Natural HISTORY Museum). Beautiful taxidermy. The fact that lots of these items are real examples is mind boggling. There is FAR too much good stuff for one photo example to do it justice. Everybody finds their favorite.

Tracey Mattos

Great aquarium full of a wide variety of aquatic life. Only my second time there and now that I live here, will go a lot more. The wild area where the aquarium was over your head was amazing. Dolphin show was equally amazing.

Melissa C.

What an awesome experience! I took some out of town guests to the Shedd Aquarium and I was just as excited as they were. Can't wait to go again!

Ignacio Martinez Jr

Nice place to take a walk and take in the view of the city skyline. Well kept area no litter considering the amount of people that visit here.

Kat Bach

It's great for the family, date night, exploration... Good time had by all

Inez Suen

I have always loved the Field Museum and it never disappoints. It’s great for all ages and there is something there for anyone. Class A museum and incredible staff

David Hunke

Highly recommend if you're in Chicago and well worth the trip. Great location with stunning views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago Skyline. Quality exhibits and reasonably priced.

Nick Jones

Beautiful park area with amazingly easy access. Food options are sparse unless you want junk food. Great place to hang out on the weekend.

Reem A.Asad

Interesting and well presented items. Can be engaging for every age. The temporary exhibits add to the variety. Finally the staff is just wonderful!

Tyson

The Sheds Aquarium and Museum are both well worth the money. There are plenty of things to do here for the kids, and the museum has excellent facilities for toddlers to use the restroom.

Robert Moore

Interesting place. The entire park is good for walking around. The Field Museum was really nice. There are several spots to get good pictures of the Chicago Waterfront and Lake Michigan. Highly recommend for any tourist visiting Chicago.

jessie johnson

What a gorgeous place to didn't a day in downtown Chicago! There are several food vendors nearby and so many sites to see for both tourists and locals. I believe this place is very family-friendly but also perfect for couples and those of you walking solo.

K Alexander

Great place and an awesome location to view the fantastic Chicago skyline. I have attended Adler After Dark and Jazzin' at the Shedd. Both are great adult after hours entertainment whether with a date or friends, a great way to support the museums.

Aninditta Rao

Everytime I visit I am fascinated by the collection and natural history information displayed at the Field Museum. Evolving Planet, Plants of the world, Meteorites, Geology and of course the dinosaurs and fossils. Absolutely marvelous way to spend half a day. Take time to sit on a bench outside at the museum campus and take in the views of the city and lake. A must do when in Chicago.

Kevin Brown

My home town will always be a great place to come back too.

Iona Wilcher

Fantastic view of the lake, but admissions are astronomical. $15 - $20 is enough. Stop expanding.

Davene Davis

I love Chicago museums and you have some of the most iconic ones right here.

sandra cichocki

I love this area of the city. It's gorgeous with the big museums all in one locale. If you're up for a stroll around, you'll find some of the best views in the city out here.

Eric Steelman

We had alot of fun here at the planetarium. The kids loved it especially the show where they took us around the solar system.

Charles Davis

I really enjoyed the Museum Campus. I'm a born and raised Chicagoan who has lived all of my life in the city with the exception of my military service. I've seen museums in different states and countries but none beats the campus here. What I really enjoyed about it is seeing it all over again through my child's eyes he was so excited he practically almost forgot to break for lunch. Well anyway I'll be bringing him back for more adventures.

Samantha Moreno

Love the Big Bus Tours. Michael was awesome so passionate about the city he grew up in. Best tour guide ever. He knew so so much. But was also so young. We will be back soon and hope to get michael again on our big bus tours.

Grishma Bheda

Visited the Adler Planetarium which is good to know about space and achievements. Watch one fo their shows which are good. I watched Skywatch. The first whole weekend of the month you get free general admission if you have Bank of America debit/credit card.

Andre Barreto

Forget Navy Pier, for a taste of some of the best of Chicago head here insteas. It is for sports fans, for museum lovers, nature enthusiastics and everyone in between

Vishnu K. Lakdawala

Excellent aquarium. So much to see. Very well maintained.

Carlos Amador, Jr.

If you've got the time, spend some time here. You've got three major Chicago attractions. With influx of ride shares and boaters, be prepared to wait for buses. Or, if the day's nice, walk on the lake front path.

Bethany Saldana

Such a beautiful spot. I walked from the Museum Campus to the Hamilton Exhibition. I'd go again just to hang out by the water here.

Jessica Gaff

The dolphins are so freaking cute... OMG. They are incredible creatures with such unique personalities. Hearing them squeak spoke to my inner child. They are percious. It is a pretty cool experience and loved petting the sting rays. They come right up to the edge. We watched a dolphin show and watched them feed the beluga whales.

griff infinity

Best place to ride on the lake in Chicago. Great view headed north. Nice to sit and watch boats move from marina to the lake. Chill spot without the North Side overcrowding...

TheGrinch 7x

One of the best places to work by/at. Love the scenery and overall majestic atmosphere of the campus surroundings.

George Niemi jr

Many museums located here on a large campus. You could easily spend a day at each one of them. The planetarium was my favorite.

Hector

This is where you can get one of the best views of the city! Great for walking, and bike riding. Sit on the grass and stare at the lake. Museum, aquarium, and planetarium in close proximity of each other.

Amanda Sweetpeach

Great museum, educational, interesting, be prepared to pay $26 dollars to park in the parking lot unless you take public transportation.

Rachel Lyndsey

Went for the fourth of July to stay away from the crowds at Navy Pier. Fireworks were 15 minutes long and the place was nicely packed. Parking was not easy so rode bus out to campus, one bus full of people on the way back to the train system. Highly recommend the campus for the fireworks.

David Sherman

What a great experience. This is a fun place to take the family when you're in Chicago visiting or you live here. With all the museums close by you can have an incredible day visiting, learning and all a wonderful area. You can also spend the day just in the area taking in the lake shore. This is a place to learn about many things. I only review The Best of the Best. This is an area that you can explore and is definitely the best. Don't think about it just go and enjoy with your family. Trust me, it'll be the best decision you made in a long time. Share and like.

n l

Very scenic area. Good views of downtown and the lake if you are trying to get some good pictures. Not a speck of trash in sight and seemed to be a very safe place to walk around or jog. We were there early morning and again in the late afternoon.

Laura Neumann

Amazing museums quite close together. Can't go wrong

Alex Grippy

We went to the aquarium, it was really cool with a large variety of displays that we weren't able to see all of because they closed not long after we got through the line. The line is the reason for only 4 stars, waited about 45 minutes just to get into the aquarium, there was only one person doing tickets for GA people and one for people who have season passes. Besides the long wait time it was still worth it to see the animals.

Christine Canty

You can easily walk from the Elder planetarium, to the Shedd Aquarium into the field museum. There's ample parking and easily get on the bike path around all the buildings. Easy access to Northerly Island as well.

Southern Prairie Cattle

Great place to relax clean restroom and clean shower if you need one at no charge

Kevin Winklepleck

I took a day to visit the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum, spending about half the day in each. While I enjoyed both attractions very much, I'd definitely suggest spending a whole day at each attraction you're interested in. Each place has so many interesting exhibits that you'll wish you had more time to visit. I encourage everyone visiting the area to check out at least one of the locations during your trip.

Phil Spencer

The kids loved this place! I enjoyed coming here as a child and now bringing my own here is a full circle experience. It was definitely busy but the flow is set up in such a way that it never seemed overcrowded. Lots of stroller accessibility if you need it. Definitely going to be bringing everybody back here at some point.

Jon Ferlise

All the museums in Chicago are amazing. Having traveled the world, I can say that these museums are absolutely world-class. Some of the best you will find anywhere. Buy the City Pass if you plan to be in town for a week or longer.

Anna Correa

Thank you for having the hotdog hook up in the park area! Lots of seating and lots of green space. Loved my walk through this area.

Jacob Kim

Parking will run you about $25, but it is just a short walk to the huge and expansive Field Museum, the famous Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium. Soldier Field is also right there, home to the Chicago Bears and huge stadium concerts and events. I’ve been to the Field museum about 5 times and still feel like I haven’t seen everything, even without the frequently updated exhibits. One of my faves, for sure.

TreeToker3Taker Official

As a Piña Colada campus worker, this area attracts several tourists & intuitive groups! This family friendly area has a variety of attractions & food for every 50 feet one comes across, never littered, very safe area! I cant complain about one thing, even if I tried my hardest to do so

Bill Breen

What a great place. Not just for kids. It's for everyone. And you'll come with some knowledge you wouldn't have known

Carole Harris

Jazzing on Wednesday evenings, scenic spot, Tour de funk was off the chain! Aggressive bystanders trying to take chairs. It's not going down like that....

Justin Tate

We did the Shedd aquarium and enjoyed it but wasn't impressed compared to others we have been to. Parking was really confusing but once we figured it out we realized it was going to be a walk there. The outside "food court" for the campus was a joke. Food quality was terrible and they only accepted cash.

Rishi Alain Mungal

You need at least 3 full days to enjoy the museum campus and the 3 major attractions contained within it - the Field Museum of Natural History, the Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium. Reserve a day for each to get the maximum benefit out of the knowledge and fun that they have to offer. Great for families

Eric Marcanio

A very interesting museum for all ages. It's big enough to spend hours in and is cheap for chicago residents! Students also get a discount

Michelle

Fantastic visit at the Field Museum on the free day. So much to see and be apart of. In the main lobby area there were students showing different bones, slides, animal fur, so much fun to handle and be up close to these items; and Maximo, the new dianosour is MASSIVE! The new area where Sue, the Tyrannosaurus Rex is really amazing, all the different skeletons, and how we all evolved. Mummies, and the Ancient Egypt section, China, the Hall of Gems....we loved it all!!!! We've decided we are coming back soon, and going to check out one or maybe two of the 3D experiences. We also will get another wax form made...it's not a visit to the museum without a 3d wax figure....:)

Scott P

This place is huge and nice. Was going to go with 3 stars, because parking is far away and very expensive, and then you have to pay another substantial amount just to get into the museum. Then even more of you want to see certain exhibits. Going to a museum, to learn, like in a library, shouldn't really break a family's budget. It also seemed very warm in there in my opinion, and it was quite difficult to find your way around, it is very large and labyrinth like. But the building is very very nice, and there are some absolutely awesome things in there. And the location, on the lake shore, is quite scenic. I saw the lions of Tsavo, that made the whole experience for me. Hope I spelled that right. Been waiting decades to see those guys. Was really cool. Chicago in general really needs to look into toning down the pricing on just about everything. When it takes over an hour to get anywhere, even if it's a few miles away, because they have done nothing with the infrastructure, kind of sticks in your crawl that everything in the city seems way overpriced. Where's the money going?

Ron Helm

I enjoyed walking around the Campus. Relatively few panhandlers, lots of families out having a good time, and reasonably priced Chicago Dogs.

Michael Limmer

One of the best in the nation. Great docents. Lots to see

Annette Jones

The after hour event's are wonderful, a different crowd appears when the stars come out. The events start with arranging the chairs and tables for the crowds of people the will come to share the space for a Wedding or Party going on. So come out and enjoy the place morning ,noon, or night.

Arthur Talbot

Shedd Aquarium is a national treasure. So many updates and exhibits. Purchased an annual pass for 4 adults so we can go anytime and take others. Great value! Pic related: sea turtle waving "Hi! '

Cu Phung

Best place to visit in Chicago. You can spend a whole day in the museum with all the exhibit available. Be sure to visit Sue, the most complete T-Rex fossil.

Jacqueline Ruiz

Fabulous place to go and staff is always ready to assist you in case you have any questions. Many new exhibitions!

Derrick Curtsinger

The museum and the aquarium was awesome and the grounds were attractive and tidy. Easily a two day attraction.

andres lopez

Great, fun, exciting place. I visited for Hamilton: the Exhibition. Was really interesting. If you are a history buff and love Hamilton and the founding of the constitution, definetly recommend. Staff was nice and informed everyone repecfully about when pictures/videos can be taken.

Sandeep Pinjerla

Don’t see any other place beautiful than this in Chicago. At dusk or in the night, this is the best place to view amazing skyline. During summer nights, this is the best place to watch fireworks. There is also paid parking along the street and can also be reached by ferry easily from different parts of the city.

Nousheen Merchant

Serenity ;) I love this place we usually go for sailing before its get very humid. So it was a great experience with our instructor "K" and couple who joined us. If you like adventurous person go and look for adaptive adventures and sign up for more.

Jon-Paul Grosser

Be astute to check out the evening sky line after an eventful day at the museum. Relax on the lawn and take in the moment.

Heather Homa

My kids love this place! Buy your tickets online to help get in quicker and easier. Super busy in there, but overall a fun family visit. Spent majority of time down of lower level watching the larger animals in tanks. Did the 4D movie, quick but kids enjoyed as well. Cost for 4 of us was around $160..so not the cheapest but spent afternoon there.

Billy Allen

The Field Museum remains as one of the most informative, important, and awe inspiring places in the nation to go to learn about animals, dinosaurs, human cultures, and our evolutionary roots. This is a stop that will be fun for all ages and is well worth the price of admission. I would plan on committing to anywhere from two to five hours to fully examine all of the exhibits and artifacts; though it could probably be rushed in 90 minutes if necessary.

George Trimis

Solid natural history museum. I enjoyed the Egyptian Exhibit, but lighting was poor. They had good examples of hieroglyphics in their original colors. The write-ups for the exhibits we're geared towards small children. Probably one of the best Egyptian collections in the US, but not as good as the Met in New York.

adrianaholden7

Beach over there is great because it isn’t crowded. Has more gravel and rocks than sand. The grass allows you to barbecue and you can find sea glass on the beach which my son loves to collect.

Kim Mallory

So much fun! So much to see! Bring the kids, there is plenty to do! Loved the Egyptian and China exhibits. Seeing Sue up close is one expierence I will never forget. Give yourself lots of time to truly take in everything.

Kelley Schroyer

The campus is easy to navigate to get to the museum you want to go to. Very clean and has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan.

Cody Brannan

Very well managed museun district and great outdoors area for people of any age.

Žarko Aleksić

Quite interesting museum. Plenty of interactive exhibits. A little bit more focused on kids activities than adults. Can't blame them for that. One of the most disappointing experience at the museum was the show "the secrets of the universe". If you value your time, choose another movie. It's not about science as much as it is about personal journey of CERN scientists. Everyone seemed disappointed after the show was over. Coal mine exhibit / experience was surprisingly good.

Josette Miller

A wonderful place to take the family and very educational too. The food in the restaurant is a little pricey though.

Sharyn Meffin

Beautiful foreshore walk and wonderful park surrounds museum campus. Clean and pleasant place

Judy Buelow

Was amazing. Really enjoyed the Hall at Gems. I am a rockhound and loved the history and more. And the souvenir pennies! Easy way to have small piece of the history to remember later.

RODNEY RAMOS

The great places to visit - Shed Aquarium, Adler Planetarium and The Field museum. Soldier Field hosts the Bears and many other sportinging events and concerts. This area boasts some of the best views of the city and lake.

Warren

Several museums worth checking out all in one area. I really enjoyed the Field Museum. I could spend the whole day there. The Aquarium is way overpriced so my family skipped it.

Marcia Nickels

It is a wonderful place to walk around. There are many options to choose from. Walking outside in that area and Burnham Harbor on a nice day is relaxing.

Christopher Berckmans

Beautiful place with wondrous attractions. You need at least a day per museum to even see part of it.

Dominique Horon

We walked to the Field museum, and Shedd Aquarium. It was a nice walk. The area is a lovely expanse of walkways parks and sculptures.

Adrianna Hodges

Loved the field museum! Awesome attractions/exhibits! If you have a long walk there, I'd recommend the train or an Uber because we did a lot of walking there from a restaurant, a lot of walking at the museum, and then walked all the way back to Navy Pier. My feet were definitely hurting!

Sandra Kosierowski

There are so many things to see. We barely brushed the surface in 4 hours! My kids who are 9 and 12 enjoyed themselves. It's also super awesome that they allow the reciprocal program!!!

Maureen Rzasa

What a beautiful landscaped Campus overlooking Lake Michigan. It's breathtaking.

Emily Miofsky

Great area to walk and view the city skyline and Lake Michigan.

devo n

Beautiful lake front area.....3 museums. The grassy areas are really nice, a few spots to get some food. The lakefront is beautiful from here!

Chris Denver

Visited for the American Heart Association's Heart Walk; joined by the IFG Team! Great Day!

MARY LOU TAYLOR

It is so fun seeing kids get so excited when fish come right by the glass

Mary Radek

Kind of expensive between parking ($25.) And admission for my family was $140., but it is a very rewarding experience. I can visit through the end of the year on this admission (would have to pay for parking of course) plus got a really nice tote bah included.

Joelle Mbatchou

So many museums can be found here! My favorite still remains the field museum. It's also a nice place to do a picnic or just lounge outside as there is a very nice lawn in front of the field museum. I'd also recommend walking by the pier that leads to Adler planetarium; you'll get an amazing view of the Chicago skyline.

Steve Bird

Beautiful wide open area for Bears fans to have PreGame fun. Music ,food ,and lots of beer which, by the way, is cheaper than it is inside Soldier Field. All in all it's a great time. They have it Right On.

jarrod london

This whole campus is simply beautiful they do a great job at maintaining the area and keep it very clean. And the views of the city here are breath taking. Everything is in walking distance from each other. These pictures were taken by the planetarium.

Pete Horeyseck

Love this place. Field Museum is so interesting to visit, wish every time I could see more.

Katarina Vukasinovic

Wonderful place in Chicago with amazing views over to lake Michigan and downtown Chicago. Here you can find the Field museum, which is the museum of natural history, Shedd aquarium and Planetarium, all well worth visiting.

TheAngryman1967

My son enjoyed it as well as I did. It was fun to watch and experience the exhibits took me back to my childhood.

Mike St John

This place has the giant Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Alder Planetarium to it. The alder is cool, and also a bust currently as they are remodeling some of the best attractions. The Shedd is a great place for seeing all types of aquatic animals. The field Museum is massive with tons of exhibits of every type of natural beauty from rocks, to dinosaurs to plants to animals

MOUNTAIN TOP CAPITOL

This campus is impressive...multiple popular museums in one area however these museums are very large so it’s a bit of a walk between them, but no worriers there’s many pedi-cabs in front of each that can quickly get to each one..

Cinthy Thomson

Like to walk around before I get it and enjoy those exhibitions

Mark Swift

Went to the Field Museum only but was just due to a lack of time to visit the other museums. Really liked how all the museums were right within walking distance and didn't require a lot of time to travel and park at different places throughout the City.

Tom Bazan

Several great opportunities are within walking distance of each other. Catching everything would take more than a day...but would be well worth the trip! Plus, the shore gives a fantastic the view of the Chicago skyline.

Yota Xiong

First time in Chicao and visited the pier. Great place to walk around. Parking fee is outrageous. We parked at the pier. We lost track of time and ended up on the outside of the pier 15 minutes before closing. Were trying to find our way to the garage. Going back into the pier was the only way back to our car. Srcurities were rude. Instead of giving us direction to the garage, they just kept telling us to leave. Very unfriendly employees.

Krystal Aranda

Absolutely beautiful museum! They have a wide array of exhibits and fun activities! It is very well kept and definitely a must see when visiting Chicago. The dinosaur fossil exhibits are jaw-dropping and it will blow your mind.

Susan Robinson

Grandson enjoyed see Sue the Dinosaur. Staff very friendly price was reasonable.

Shital Chaudhary

It was very cool to see dinosours fossils! Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in biology and previous history. Lots of things to learn.

Jackie Sanguy

Great food. Dynamic views of lake Michigan with all the lovely sail boats. We went there on a very sunny day

The Tax Lady

Absolutely loved the Museum Campus! A lot of interesting information to see and learn about. Great for the whole family and family reunions.

Wojciech B

Always something to see and do. Nice walk along the lake.

Cheryl Ridenour

Get a City Pass. Visit all of the Chicago Museums - Shedd Aquarium, The Field Museum and Adler Planetarium. They each take the better part of a day to see. They are all fabulous in their own way. They are great for children and adults. You will do a lot of walking but there are places to sit and rest if you need it. There are places to eat on site. Don’t forget to walk down the sidewalk between the Field Museum and the Adler Planetarium and have a great free photo op with the entire Chicago skyline in the background!

Great place to take a stroll. The buildings are awe inspiring. The art decor of the buildings leave you wondering how it was put together. Thank you for a wonderful experience

I absolutely love that Chicago has so many different museums! The Shedd is one of my favorites. Along with the Planetarium. Highly recommend

Beautiful walk to all Museums and taxi boat ride to Navy Pier, open and beautiful. Biking, jogging, and A few Hot dog stands

Great aquarium but you have to pay for extras. Make sure you buy tickets online ahead of time, it will save you a line wait...I literally bought my tickets on my phone at the door and walked right in otherwise it was a 30-45 minute wait. The aquarium itself is spectacular but you do have to pay for extras and certain shows.

This area is superb. Whether a walk jog or bike ride the views and paths are great. On top it has a few museums and statues walking distance from each other. Parking lots are nearby and public transportation is very handy This is great to go and spend all day checking things out. Eating from vendors and just relaxing enjoying the whole experience.

This is a pretty cool place I would stop here if you have a chance. If you look at my photo you will see a very happy customer. He was smiling because he was able to get so many things to look at how happy he is smiling definitely come here if you’re ever visiting in the areaThis is a pretty cool place I would stop here if you have a chance.

A little pricey, but the Aquarium was great, a good 3 hours and you can see it all.

The Field Museum was one of my best museum experiences to date! The sheer number of quality exhibits is staggering. You could spend a couple days here and still not see it all, so plan accordingly! Highlights were Sue, the T-Rex, and the exhibit which walks you through the evolution of life on Earth. The dioramas were a lot of fun as well. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Location, location, location. By car or public transport, very easy to park also. Either take two days to vist or make multiple visits to really explore this great museum.

Very fun and creative atmosphere that was entertaining for my 16 month old son who was very engaged throughout the museum. My wife, he and I really enjoyed ourselves and it took me back years ago to when I last went. Can't wait to go again. Side note, food in the cafe is expensive but good. For kids the mac and cheese was really good.
