Never have the chance to visit The Field Museum during the day? This summer, explore our new exhibitions and events during evening hours on select dates. We’ll be open later with extended admission until 9 pm, with last admission at 8 pm, on August 1, and September 5. Come by to discover The Field’s vast collection in Specimens: Unlocking the Secrets of Life, get closer to dinosaurs than ever before in Jurassic World: The Exhibition, and experience the ritual, identity, obsession, and art of indelibly marking one’s skin in Tattoo.

Plus, in honor of The Field Museum opening until 9 pm , we’ve created Base Camp: a lounge where adults can drink, interact with our scientists, and take a break from exploring the Museum during Late Night hours. Base Camp will be open from 6 – 9 pm, featuring cocktails from Chicago luminaries including Nandini Khaund and The Whistler, a transformed bar, snacks, and little-seen specimens and artifacts from The Field’s collections. Each night Base Camp is open, it will have an entirely different theme and scientists presenting. Plus, Base Camp is free with admission to the Museum!
