The Field Museum lists Pokémon Fossil Museum on its main floor through April 11, 2027. The exhibition gives families and fans a way into a conversation about fossils by starting with creatures they already know.

Ask each person to pick one creature or fossil to talk about afterward. If there’s time, add one other gallery and see whether the group spots a connection. Review ticket options on the museum’s site before heading to Museum Campus.
