Month: May 2016

Field Museum

Are you interested in Dinosaurs? I don’t mean going to a Jurassic Park like museum where there will be a lot of screaming, crying and wailing. No, I mean just looking back to when the dinosaurs still ruled the earth. What about taking a peek at the Ancient Americas or visiting the hall of birds? All these and more you can do for FREE on free admission days of the Field Museum on June 21, 22 and 23.

As always, save the date! June 21, 22 and 23. Let us all make the most of what is for FREE in Chicago.
