Anyone ever taken young kids to the Field Museum?

We're thinking about it for our 6 and 4 y.olds, so I'm wondering if any parents out there have done it and what there is for that age. The older one wants to see Sue (the T-Rex). Also, do any Chicagoans have suggestions for where to park a bit more cheaply in that area?
Thanks!

1. We went with our three boys.. AGES ago

I'm sure the parking issues are different now.. We took the South Shore into Chicago & took a cab :)

They loved it.. but make sure they have on comfortable shoes..and don't try to do it all in one day :)

Is the aquarium still there?? They LOVED it:)

2. We went there a few years ago.

The Field Museum had quite a bit of hands-on stuff for the small-fry.
A huge change from when I had last been there 30+ years ago. :)
The Aquarium, Planetarium and Museum of Science and Industry took us a full week to go thru.
We walked from some huge old famous hotel whose name escapes me.
Nothing like getting in a mile or so of walking before actually walking in the museums. :eyes:
My feet hurt so bad I would put them in the bathtub with ice.:D
I'd consider a stroller for the 4 yo. :hi:
