This is an awesome experience. If you’re very interested in the Field Museum, especially Sue the T-Rex, this is a great tour. It’s a scheduled tour, so someone will meet you at the east entrance and guide you through the museum. You should arrive around 745-8am. Since this is about an hour before the museum actually opens, you can’t roam the museum unaccompanied, the tour guide will be with you the whole hour. But you can look at whatever exhibits interest you, and the guide will take you there and give you information. You get the museum to yourself for that hour, which makes picture taking and exploring fun and easy. Highly recommend.

Great to have the museum to yourself for an hour or so... the tour is supposed to start at 8am, so getting up early is a bit hard. We arrived 10 minutes early as requested, but our tour only started at 8h15 am with a volunteer of the museum who did his best to fill in for the docent that was supposed to lead the tour. The price gives you access to all exhibits plus 3D movie in the auditorium. (Although you need more than one visit to explore all of this amazing museum)

Our tour guide was wonderful! He has been at the museum for 7 years and totally loves his job. He was very knowledgeable.
