Beat the Heat with Museum's Extended Hours

Looking for a way to beat the heat with the whole family this holiday weekend? The Field Museum is offering extended hours this Friday and Saturday, July 1 and 2, and will keep its doors open until 6:00pm (last admission at 5pm). Spend that extra time searching for mummies or uncovering dinosaur bones, the options are endless.

Don’t forget about our summer shows either, here for a limited time only. The Horse explores humanity’s long and prosperous relationship with horses from domestication to Polo and much more. Whales: Giants of the Deep dives into the mysterious world of Earth’s largest animal. See how whales evolved from land dwelling mammals millions of years ago and learn all about these fascinating creatures through hands-on activities and interactive displays.
