To be a bit more fair to the Chicago Field Museum, the base ticket price is $30 for out-of-state adults, only more if you want access to one of the extra ticketed experiences, which are nice, but you can kill a full day on just the base ticket and have a great time. Ticket prices are also cheaper for Illinois and even cheaper for Chicago residents.

That makes sense. Here in NC I don’t really remember the state museums charging for base admissions, other than the zoos. You only had to pay for IMAX and things like that

There are a couple dozen free days a year as well for IL residents. They aren’t at all convenient but we’ve still arranged time off work and taken groups there on school break days.
