About this event series
For 74 years, our members have had the rare chance to go behind the scenes, meet real scientists, and explore the museum like never before–and this year will be no exception!
What’s in Store?
- Get up close with rare artifacts and specimens-no glass cases, just discovery!
- Meet our scientists and hear about their latest groundbreaking research.
- Explore behind-the-scenes areas that aren’t open to the public
- Coming straight from work? We’ve got you covered! The Field’s Bistro and Explorer Cafe will be open, offering a variety of delicious meals and snacks for purchase. Grab a bite before diving into your night of discovery!
- Take part in family-friendly activities for kids of all ages.
- Meet the Museum’s Wildest Resident. Say hello to Rosie the tarantula, our eight-legged superstar!
How much wonder can you uncover in one night?
This event is exclusively for members–because curiosity deserves VIP access. Not a member?
Explore it all during Members’ Nights. Space is limited, so reservations are required.
Please note: The Field Museum will close at 4:00 PM (last entry at 3:00 PM) and reopen for this special event at 5:00 PM. Due to other events on the Museum Campus, the East parking lot will not be available.
Join us as we celebrate 74 years of adventure, discovery, and YOU–our incredible members!
