Ask Joyce

Hi Joyce – I hope you can help…I have one day to spend on some fun – last year we visited the Science Museum – this year I am debating between the Field and Chicago History Museums – I have a 10 year old son who is entering 5th grade (in Texas). He has heard of Sue so I know he would enjoy that – but wasn’t sure if the rest is very exciting?? I can’t remember ever going to the History Museum myself… What do you think?

Thanks! Karen Huber
