Field Museum combined tickets in Chicago

Which Field Museum combo to book

Museum lovers. Art Institute of Chicago + Field Museum is the best-rated two-museum combo. Art Institute entry is a fast pass. The two are a short ride or a long walk apart along the lakefront.

First visit, three headliners. The Chicago Top 3 Attractions Pass covers the Art Institute (fast pass), the Field Museum and the 360 CHICAGO observation deck. A good fit for a two- or three-day stay.

Museum and a view. Skydeck Chicago + Field Museum pairs the museum with the Willis Tower deck and its glass ledge. It's the bundle with the biggest saving and good reviews. Field Museum + 360 CHICAGO is the alternative on Michigan Avenue; reviews are fewer and mixed.

Summer days. Field Museum + Lake Michigan & Chicago River adds a 1.5-hour sightseeing cruise. Cruises run at set times and may be seasonal, so check the dates.

Planning the day. The Field Museum sits on the Museum Campus by the lake, so the river cruise or a deck visit fits best later in the day, after the museum. Leave a few hours for the museum itself; it's big.

Is a combo cheaper than separate tickets?

Yes, a little. The Skydeck bundle is about 10% under the price of the two tickets; the others are about 5%. The Top 3 pass is priced as one product, so compare it with buying the Art Institute bundle plus a deck.

How the tickets work

You get a separate ticket for each part, usually on your phone. Observation decks and cruises may ask for an entry time or have set departures; the museums are day entries. Check the conditions and cancellation rules for each part on the booking page.
