Saturday’s Dinopalooza event at the Field Museum will be visitors’ last chance to see the Chicago Archaeopteryx until fall. The fossil, which was unveiled in May, is going off display for the summer while staff builds out a permanent exhibit.

The second annual celebration of all things dinosaur runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the museum and is included with admission.

Among the scheduled activities: a museum-wide scavenger hunt, opportunities to see and touch fossils from the Field’s behind-the-scenes collection, and a chance to talk with dinosaur curator Jingmai O’Connor.

Archaeopteryx — dubbed the “most important fossil of all time” — reveals the link between birds and other members of the Field’s dinosaur family, including Sue the T. Rex.
