 1/31/2012 | | "Amazing Venue for Large Events", An Eventective User from Orlando, FL | | While other venues may be cheaper, none offer the capacity, capability, and charm of the Field Museum. Whether it is featuring a movie for over 700 persons to hosting a charity gala, or even a large shareholder's meeting, the Field Museum is peerless in Chicago. |
