Field Museum Chicago | Guide & Review (2021)

[@starstruxtion]

I haven't been to the Field Museum since I was in 4th grade, and I'm so happy they kept the Jewels exhibit. It is by far my favorite one they have there

[@WanderlustWellman]

That's great, I'm sure that brings back memories for you!

[@RobertSpiller]

So you think New York is more prestigious than Chicago huh? Not even close at least for me. I prefer Chicago over NY any day of the week.

[@WanderlustWellman]

I would probably prefer Chicago as well, but I think generally NYC is recognized as more prestigious or at least more well-known than Chitown

[@marijaneplacek3090]

when I was a child and we would go there, my father would tell me all the animals were found dead on the street.

[@thathockeyguy395]

Ok first off don’t look at it as a museum but a library of life 2nd Chicago is more than a Midwest metropolis it has some of the smartest scientists and people of the natural feild 3rd have you done Brookfield zoo if not it is a must do

[@WanderlustWellman]

I think that is a good way to describe it!

[@whenisdinner2137]

Why would it be in New York? New York has everything else. Let us have this for God's sake

[@WanderlustWellman]

That’s what I’m saying, it’s good that Chicago has something world class!

[@alexismarquez3674]

THE SEVEN-TON T-REX AT THE FIELD MUSEUM IN CHICAGO IS JUST ONE OF THE CREATURES THAT HAVE WALKED THE EARTH OVER HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS. I KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE I MET MY FORMER SUITORS FLORENTINO S. SUSALO III IN ZAMBOANGA CITY MEDICAL CENTER WARD-2 NEUROLOGICAL-ORTHOPEDIC WARD ZAMBOANGA CITY. HE LOVES MY ATTITUDE.

[@elizabethandbriceida]

I love Field Museum you have to go, if you are resident there is some free days .

[@WanderlustWellman]

I agree!

[@bruce9635]

Can’t believe I lived in Irving Park a short time and never even went. It’s awesome!

[@WanderlustWellman]

It is a pretty awesome museum!

[@winstoncarter2119]

My mom took us here back in 2007, but I would love to go stoned. Would be amazing.

[@WanderlustWellman]

Haha that's great!

[@maherawad2338]

Wow I’m planning a trip to Chicago soon and the Field Museum is a must do!

[@WanderlustWellman]

Wow that is so amazing! Let me know if you need any tips on good places to stay

[@NinetyOneAdventures]

I lived in the middle of a rice field in Louisiana for about a year. I wish I was vlogging back then. My channel would be lit! 😂😂😂😂😂 LOL!!!

[@WanderlustWellman]

Hahaha I grew up surrounded by corn fields, I missed the boat too 😅

[@desiroo279]

How long were you there ? If we want to walk through everything, how many hours would it take ?

[@WanderlustWellman]

I'd say we were there for a solid 3 hours or so. And it really depends, some people try to read every single thing about each exhibit and that would probably double your time at the museum. I think walking through every exhibit could be done in as little as 3 hours or as long as 6.

[@desiroo279]

@@WanderlustWellman thanks for the reply!! With little kids , we may wanna keep 4-5 atleast I think!

[@AmbientMorality]

@@desiroo279 For what it's worth, we spent 6 hours and covered maybe 1/3 of the museum (not even counting ticketed exhibits). Wide range depending on how in-depth you want to go

[@punklover99]

It really is one of those "can't see the whole thing in a day" places. Ticketed exhibits are always changing. Check the schedule to see what's coming and going

[@bigraviolees]

The museum rotates, changes. You're seeing a different museum then I did in the same bldng

[@WanderlustWellman]

I believe it! Good to hear they keep it fresh.

[@sebastianhovenas272]

I'm a little disappointed that you didn't show the legendary Man-Eaters of Tsavo. They have a fascinating story

[@WanderlustWellman]

That's a good shout, I did film the nearby animals on display but I didn't capture them specifically! I totally agree

[@SgtSoda]

I’m heading up there soon for my first visit in about 5 years! Can’t wait to see the new stuff! Also, being of close Native American heritage: There is no need for any of you guys to feel any “White Guilt” for conquering the Americas in the same way that natives were doing it before Europeans arrived.

[@WanderlustWellman]

I'm excited to hear that you are heading to the museum! I hope you have a blast

[@cjwoods8216]

make sure to check out the science and indestry musem

[@bendaaa69]

Planning a trip to a city 5 year in advance? Lmao wtf

[@prod.dejavu7372]

[@explorewithmartha6297]

Great sharing, thank you 🙏🏾🤗💐 happy weekend

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks for watching 🙏 😊! Have a great weekend too 👍

[@SantosChronicles]

We have gone to the Field Museum and really liked your format and how you edited this video. You really put a lot of work on this edit. And I liked how you jumped from narration to action b roll.

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! I appreciate the insight :)

[@pappanalab]

Sorry for the nitpick but the paleontology nerd in me just has to get into the pedantic details. Sue actually hasn't conclusively been the largest T rex specimen for a while with Scotty beating her out (though like most things in paleontology this is debated) just slightly. She is still the most complete though being 90% done whereas Scotty is only 60.

[@explorewithmartha6297]

Heyy... I see plants🌱 from tropical country where I live Indonesian🇮🇩 👍🏾🤩🍀

[@WanderlustWellman]

I know right? It makes me want to come to Indonesia 🇮🇩 so much more!

[@jaybarber9011]

Some midwestern city? Wow!

[@WanderlustWellman]

No harm intended, I grew up in a mid-sized town in Michigan so I embrace the humble Midwestern identity!

[@JimmyEmerald]

To be fair about the taxidermied animals they were all collected a hundred years ago

[@WanderlustWellman]

Good to know, I appreciate you sharing this information

[@MonicaCoben]

Babe bring the girls and let's go to The Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum & Brookfield Zoo? Come stay a week in Chicago? Hey BBQ doesn't sound bad either!

[@KoneTravelVlog]

It looks similiar to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto . You can spend the whole day in there

[@WanderlustWellman]

No kidding! I’ve never been there, although I’ve been to Toronto a couple times and loved it, thanks for letting me know 👍

[@4kWalkinCanada]

Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks for watching!

[@FinMeg]

Awesome video 👍🏼😊

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thank you very much!

[@joeyweinstock2272]

Haven't been there since I was 8

[@drbrianmicheal]

"Keep in mind if you want to support museums and education"?

[@Lelapeace]

I was thre last month

[@WanderlustWellman]

Awesome!

[@alexismarquez3674]

ALEC ARENAS LOVES MY ATTITUDE WHEN I WAS STILL WORKING FOR UNITED AIRLINES TAGUIG CITY MANILA. I'M A SHY TYPE :)

[@whenisdinner2137]

Why are you calling them replicas when 90% of the skeletons are real?

[@yeetskeet202]

U look like Julian draxler

[@WanderlustWellman]

Idk about that my friend! I think I look more like CR7 😂

[@stevecochrane8799]

I support taxidermy
