Field Museum of Natural History is located near lake Michigan. The museum has a huge collection of specimens. The exhibits include a Tyrannosaurus skeleton named Sue, Egyptian mummies, a nice gem collection and dinosaur skeletons.  

From the Gem collection.....Most of them were from Sri Lanka.


This museum is a good source of studies for students. Anyway it was not much interesting as I thought. We had our lunch from a Macdonalds inside the museum. Then rushed to the Adler Planetarium which is located nearby.

Willis tower is considered as the tallest building in the western hemisphere. There is sky decks set up for visitors for observation. Tickets can be purchased at Chicago Skydeck tickets.

We were heading towards the Willis Tower early in the morning because we wanted to go there before the mist fall like the day before. But ohh we were so unlucky so that the entire space was covered by the mist when we reach there. Anyhow we took the tour because we had no other option.

We could hardly see the ground from the sky deck for sometime and it totally got disappeared within few minutes.

It might have been a really nice experience if it was not misty. So watch out for mist if you are planning a visit to willis tower.

Then we left for our next target, Fields museum - Chicago.
