This day of our trip we spent in another massive museum: The Field. We covered a massive breadth of topics as we worked our way through the building.
We started off learning about creatures that feed on the blood of others. Then we explored Unseen Oceans, all about the deep sea and how it is explored.
Next we explored ancient Egypt, walking through a reconstructed tomb complete with mummies, which kinda creep me out. There were many other Egyptian artifacts, including a wooden boat that sailed on the Nile river.
Our education shifted to animals, where we worked our way through an exhibit the shank you down to the size on an insect and then you walked through the ground, learning about all the creatures that live there. In the next exhibit, we learned all about the bio-mechanics of animals.
We finished our day in an massive exhibit called Evolving Planet, which walked you through all 4.5 million years of Earth’s history, era by era, in great detail. In the dinosaur era, we got to view Sue, the famous T-Rex skeleton.
For dinner, we had some good Greek food, and the continued our culinary tour with dessert from another Chicago icon: Garrett Popcorn.
