Field Museum, home to giant T-Rex in Chicago
Since 1893, the Field
Museum in Chicago has housed exhibits from the famed World's
Columbian Exposition. We took what I'd call the "short" tour of the
Field Museum, which means we spent five hours and still hurried through
some exhibits.
Sue the T-Rex is THE star of the show but there is much much more to be seen. With a collection of over twenty million specimens today, Daniel Burnham, designer of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition would be proud. Read about our feature on the Field Museum.
When visiting Chicago, consider staying at the Best Western River North. Free parking, plus within walking distance to several Chicago attractions.
