Museum Campus with Chicago HoHo

Museum Campus Day (expanded)

The Museum Campus is a concentrated cultural zone — use the HoHo to move between these three anchors efficiently.

Suggested flow & timing

1. Morning (09:00–11:30): Field Museum — plan for 2–3 hours to see key halls (dinos, cultural exhibits).
2. Early afternoon (12:00–15:00): Shedd Aquarium — aim for the animal shows and main galleries (1.5–2.5 hours).
3. Late afternoon (16:00–17:30): Adler Planetarium — sunset skyline views make it special (1–2 hours).

Logistics & combos

• Foot traffic: The three sites are walkable along the lakefront; factor in transit time if reboarding the HoHo.
• Tickets: Combo tickets often save money; compare family vs single admission savings.

Family considerations

• Plan breaks between major exhibits and check daily show times for Shedd to avoid disappointment.
• Lockers and stroller-friendly routes are available at most Museum Campus facilities.
