National Fossil Day

National Fossil Day at the Field Museum brings out rarely seen specimens from the collections for a morning of paleontology that appeals to curious minds of all ages. Visitors can meet working scientists and try hands-on activities exploring prehistoric life, all part of the museum’s annual celebration on Wednesday, October 14, from 10 AM to 1 PM. The event is included with admission, and Illinois residents get in free on Wednesdays, making this an easy mid-week stop for locals.
