Field Museum will be free for Illinois residents all February

If you’ve been looking for a reason to visit Chicago’s Field Museum, then you won’t have a reason not to this month.

For the fifth year in a row, the Field Museum is offering free admission to Illinois residents throughout the month of February, according to a release from the museum. For a family of four, that comes out to $80 in savings, based on the cost of full-price tickets.

To get in, Illinois residents will need to bring a driver’s license or state ID, the release said. Library cards, student IDs, utility bills, leases, work IDs or check stubs will also get residents in the door.

“In February, usually Chicago and Chicagoland visitors come to the Field Museum instead of tourists,” museum spokesperson Natalie Dalea said. “Bundling free days in February allows the whole family to enjoy the museum at a discount to get out of the colder weather.”

Free admission includes all general admission exhibits.
