Underground MISadventure
Limited Run: October 3–November 2 | Included with an All-Access Pass
Something eerie is stirring beneath the Field Museum. This fall, our beloved Underground Adventure gets a Halloween makeover—becoming Underground MISadventure, a creepy, crawly, and downright spooky twist on an old favorite.
Shrink into the shadows with Svengoolie as your guide
Every visit begins with a special video welcome from Chicago’s legendary horror host Svengoolie, who sets the stage and leads you into the strange and spooky world underground. From there, you’ll “shrink” to 1/100th your actual size—smaller than a penny—and creep into the soil beneath our feet.
Meet the creatures of the dark
Down in the dirt, the underground comes alive. Encounter a cast of chilling characters, from a towering mole cricket to a wolf spider waiting in the shadows. Along the way, you’ll discover just how much life depends on soil—spooky or not.
More than dirt—it’s the stuff of life
Soil sustains our world: nourishing plants that become our food and clothing, fueling ecosystems, and supporting every living thing. This hauntingly fun twist reveals the mysteries of what’s beneath us—and how fragile our underground world really is.
Whether you’re braving the insect underworld or getting hands-on with soil samples, Underground MISadventure blends Halloween chills with scientific thrills—guided all season long by Svengoolie himself. Step inside—if you dare!
Join Us After 5!
Check out Underground MISadventure after hours at Halloween Underground MISadventure with Svengoolie on Tuesday, October 7th from 5pm-9pm.
Come face-to-face with things that go bump underground…if you dare!
