Dino Fest

To celebrate their new Spinosaurus, the Field Museum is hosting Dino Fest on Saturday, June 10. This event, held in the museum’s main Stanley Field Hall from 11am to 2pm, will feature:

• dinosaur trivia games
• touchable fossils
• a poetry station with the museum’s poet-in-residence
• a book fair
• dino crafts
• a fossil scavenger hunt sponsored by AppleTV+ and Prehistoric Planet
• a chance to meet and chat with the museum’s dinosaur experts
• presentations from the Field’s dinosaur curator Jingmai O’Connor and paleoartist Ted Rechlin as they share fun facts and explore who would win in a fight between Spinosaurus and T. rex.

The event is included with basic admission to the museum and features activities for all ages, from little kids to adult dino fans. Dinosaur-themed attire and costumes are encouraged. Come help celebrate the arrival of the world’s largest meat-eating dinosaur at the Field Museum and party like it’s the Cretaceous!

Spinosaurus at the Field Museum is part of the Griffin Dinosaur Experience, made possible by generous support from Kenneth C. Griffin.
