In one museum with millions of adventures, embark on a journey the whole family will enjoy. Come face to face with Sue, the world-famous T. Rex, and learn about the Age of the Dinosaurs, when prehistoric giants like Sue ruled the Earth 67 million years ago.
Explore the ocean floor of an ancient Cambrian sea in Evolving Planet, when arthropods, sponges and mollusks populated these shallow waters. See, hear and smell the swampy forest that was Chicago 300 million years ago and meet the dinosaurs that roamed the land where we now live.
Step into the windswept world of Ice-Age mammoth hunters as you walk through an 800-year-old pueblo in Ancient Americas. Experience what it was like cooking, eating and sleeping with your family in one small room. Then immerse yourself in Tenochtitlan, the island capital of the Aztec empire, and discover what it took to build this awe-inspiring empire.
There’s even a place specially suited for your little Museum explorers! In the Crown Family PlayLab, pint-sized scientists can dig up dinosaur bones, harvest corn, play in a Pueblo, feel the rhythms of instruments from around the world and play the part of a woodland creature as they crawl, hop and fly – all in a place just for kids!
