Getting There

• Public Transit - CTA Bus

  From downtown Chicago, locate the nearest bus stop for the CTA bus route #146. Board the bus heading south towards the Museum Campus. Stay on the bus for approximately 15-20 minutes, and watch for stops near the Field Museum. Disembark at the 'Field Museum' stop. The museum entrance will be a short walk from the bus stop.

• Public Transit - CTA Train

  If you are near a Red Line train station, board the train heading south towards 95th/Dan Ryan. Get off at the 'Roosevelt' station. From Roosevelt, transfer to the #12 bus heading east toward the Museum Campus. After a few stops, disembark at the 'Field Museum' stop. The museum entrance will be a short distance from there.

• Biking

  If you prefer to bike, you can rent a Divvy bike from any nearby station. Head southeast on the Lakefront Trail, which runs along Lake Michigan. Continue on the trail for about 2 miles until you reach the Museum Campus area. Follow the signs to the Field Museum, where you can securely park your bike in the designated bike racks.

• Walking

  If you are within walking distance, simply head south towards the Museum Campus. Walk towards 18th Street, then turn east onto the path leading toward the lake. Follow the signs to the Field Museum, which is located at 1400 S Lake Shore Dr. It should take approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on your starting point.
