SUMMARY:Field Family Night: Race Against Extinction!
DESCRIPTION:“Start your engines and come on down to the Field Museum for the Race Against Extinction! Our wildlife needs you to help them beat the extinction clock\, so gather your pit crew and join us for an evening in the high-speed world of conservation. Choose your wild racer from the Conservation Cup Series lineup and pull into pit stops around the museum to prepare them for the race – then cheer them on when they take to the Stanley Field Speedway! Remember – you don’t need your racer to be the fastest – you just need to refuse to let them lose. \nHang out by the track with real scientists and conservationists\, or purchase Tour tickets for a special look behind the scenes in Collections. Learn about wildlife conservation around the world\, including here in Chicago\, and gather the tools you need to make a difference at home! You’ll leave the Stanley Field Speedway prepared to be the Conservation Pit Crew for wildlife in your own community. \nAccess to all museum exhibitions\, including the Crown Family PlayLab\, Underground Adventure\, and brand new Reptiles Alive!\, are included with admission. Get your tickets for the Race Against Extinction below!” \n-Description from the Field Museum website
