Explore the wild side of romance at Chemistry in Nature, an adults-only night celebrating the strange and spectacular world of animal mating behaviors.
Wander the museum and drop into pop-up storytelling sessions where experts share unbelievable courtship rituals&mdash;from birds that dance that attract the female gaze, to animals who take fighting for love to a whole new meaning.
Plus, put your own skills to the test with hands-on, interactive activities that let you experience the science of attraction firsthand. Test your nose at pheromone sniffing, guess animal mating calls, or discover which animal reflects your personal love language. Then embark on our Courtship Quest, a playful way to meet new people, spark conversations, and discover what &ldquo;love in the wild&rdquo; really looks like.
Follow the clues, and you may even unlock entry to a hidden speakeasy tucked within the museum&mdash;a cozy retreat for the curious and adventurous.
Whether you seek love, friendship, or science, join us for an evening where nature&rsquo;s chemistry comes alive.
Tickets include light snacks, beer, wine, and our specialty cocktail. Additional food and beverages will be available for purchase.

Poetry Pop-up

A group gathers at the corner of a diorama case. One man sits a desk with a typerwriter. He looks up to a family of three standing over him. The man in the middle stands with arms around the other two individuals. Both are smiling down at the man seated at the desk. A black box with a glass front holds a rock specimen and is propped up against the leg of the desk.

See the Field Museum in a whole new light! Families and groups with kids ages 6 to 12 can spend the night at the museum during Dozin' with the Dinos.
Stay up late with scientists as the Field Museum comes to life in games, challenges, and stories throughout the night. Will you dissect owl pellets and identify animal tracks to become the next great wildlife detective? Or, will you embark on a paleontologist's expedition to learn how fossils form? Take on these adventures and more with the Dozin&rsquo; Institute for Nocturnal Observations (DINO) on our late-night mission of discovery. Then, grab your flashlight and explore the halls as the lights go out. This is a night at the museum you won't forget!
