The Field Museum’s field trip experiences offer exciting, up-close exposure to science and social studies in a historic Chicago setting.
School groups can enjoy a deep dive into Ancient American cultures or watch groundbreaking DNA research happen before their eyes. Students learn about evolution through fossils and dinosaur skeletons and discover what centuries-old specimens and artifacts can teach us about how we live today.
A journey through the Field Museum’s diverse range of exhibitions is easily tailored to curricula for groups of all ages, including pre-K, elementary school, middle school, and high school students. All school groups are welcome, including home school students. We also offer accessible tours and experiences for learners with disabilities.
If you're having trouble accessing the registration form, we recommend using Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge or a private browsing window with Google Chrome.

Groups of students with disabilities
We offer five unique guided tours for ages eight and up that are tailored to meet particular needs and preferences of students with learning, developmental, and intellectual disabilities. Illinois groups can register for these experiences using the general field trip registration form.
We recommend that these groups consider arriving around 11am to avoid the initial rush of field trip groups entering the building, eating lunch soon after arrival, and engaging in chaperone-guided exploration prior to a pre-scheduled 12:30pm guided tour.
