I brought my fiancé here as a little surprise, and we both absolutely loved it! I managed to snag free admission tickets on a Wednesday right when they first became available. We parked in a nearby garage, which was a pleasant 15-minute walk to the museum, and arrived about 10 minutes before the doors opened. Once inside, check-in was seamless. Having not been here in almost 20 years, I was thrilled to be back. We headed straight for the Pokémon Fossil Museum exhibit for our 9:15 AM entry slot. The layout and design of the exhibit were fantastic. It kicks off with a great display of various Pokémon fossils and their real-world counterparts. (Fun fact: they actually have a fossilized piece of poop on display—no one believed me until they read the description themselves!). While I do wish the exhibit had been a bit longer, we had an amazing time. I also really appreciated the gift shop policy that limited purchases to 5 items per person, which kept things fair for everyone. If you or a loved one are Pokémon fans, I highly recommend checking this out!
Really nice museum! Their dino/fossil hall was incredible. Love how it walks you through time. Make sure you check out the earliest bird and Sue, the most complete TRex skeleton! They also are currently going through all their Native artifacts and exhibits to ensure utmost respect for indigenous cultures and people. We also went to the temporary Pokemon Fossil Exhibit. You do need to book your tickets in advance for this additional exhibit because they sell out day of. Anyone who loves Pokemon will adore this and anyone who is new to the franchise will be able to learn a lot!
The museum is great for kids and families. The Ancient Americas exhibit, which was the highlight for me. Some sections felt more geared toward children, the birds, and the Plants of the World exhibit relied heavily on models. The Egyptian collection was smaller than I expected. The Chinese exhibit was interesting but could benefit from clearer directions through the displays. Overall, a good museum with some excellent galleries.
MUST GO! Beautiful museum, have several floors just completely full of information! If you are interested in any science field they have it here. From ancient to most revenant, smallest organisms to largest creatures ever, they truly have it all! I would make an entire day out of this museum and make a trip to Chicago just for this!
It’s a pretty good museum jam packed with artifacts and interesting ways of presenting the information. I really enjoyed the well utilized large areas. We went during the Pokémon exhibit and had a blast . It even has a nice cafe if u get hungry . While there a middle school came and preformed for the museum guests and it was lovely.
