Illinois Free Wednesday 

<p><em>Pre-Registered Illinois <a href="https://www.fieldmuseum.org/field-trips">field trips</a> are FREE everyday of the week!</em></p>
<p>Free Wednesdays are the perfect opportunity for you to explore our general admission exhibitions with your family or a group of science-loving friends. Adventure through the wilderness on a desert safari, explore ancient civilizations, and come face-to-face with prehistoric creatures&mdash; all in one place. The Field Museum has so much to explore, you&rsquo;ll need more than just a day to see it all. <span>But don&rsquo;t worry&mdash;Wednesdays are free for Illinois Residents.</span></p>
<p>Tickets for Free Days are only available to Illinois residents. For your convenience, free day tickets are available for advanced reservation online. Please present your proof of Illinois residency alongside your mobile tickets for express admission into the Museum. Tickets will also be available onsite subject to availability. Reservations are strongly recommended.</p>
