Sean really likes going to museums and Chicago has a lot of them to choose from (my favorite is the Art Institute of Chicago). He picked the Field Museum, an incredible natural history museum that we both really enjoyed! There were displays of animals from around the world, artifacts from different regions (I loved the Polynesian displays), and fascinating science displays (Sean spent more than an hour at a microscope station). However, we both absolutely loved the dinosaurs!
Maximo the Titanosaur!
Sue is the largest and most complete (90%) Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil ever found and it was very impressive! There is a really cool light show which shows which bones are not real and explains what they have changed from the original exhibit after studying the T. Rex (they positioned her shoulders differently and raised her tail). It was fascinating!
We spent most of the morning here and it was definitely well worth our time. I would highly recommend a visit if you are ever in the Chicago area.
