Want to save some coins in the coming months leading up to the holidays?
Good news! Chicago's own Field Museum is offering free admission every Tuesday through Christmas 2023.
There are some ground rules though, see below courtesy of Secret Chicago:
Illinois residents will be able to enter the popular natural history museum completely free of charge between 10 am and 4 pm provided they bring proof of residency.
According to the Field Museum website, “tickets for Free Days are only available to Illinois residents onsite and cannot be reserved in advance. Please ask a Guest Relations staff member when you arrive at the museum and be ready to show your Illinois proof of residency.”
In addition to an Illinois identification card, the Field Museum has stated that the following are also accepted as valid ID:
- Illinois lease
- Illinois library card
- Illinois student ID with photo
- Illinois utility bill
- Illinois work ID or check stub
- Illinois driver’s license
Free admission includes all general admission exhibitions, such as Evolving Planet, The Ancient Americas, and Inside Ancient Egypt whilst All-Access passes and Discovery passes can be purchased for discounted prices for both adults and children.
