Trainers,

As part of our cooperation with local authorities, and in response to several overlapping events in the area, Pokémon GO gameplay has been temporarily suspended for the remainder of Saturday and Sunday east of South Michigan Ave, from south of Grant Park to slightly south of East Cermak Rd. This includes all Pokémon GO gameplay at the Field Museum, although the Pokémon Fossil Museum exhibition itself will remain open. Additionally, the real-world GO Fest pop-up at the Field Museum has been suspended for Saturday, June 6, and Sunday, June 7. All Pokémon GO Fest gameplay and experiences at Grant Park are not impacted, and all remaining park sessions will continue uninterrupted at this time.

All other citywide gameplay throughout Chicago will also continue as scheduled. As originally planned, Trainers with park tickets for Saturday, June 6, and Sunday June 7, have access to citywide gameplay during event hours as part of their ticket. We encourage you to continue your Pokémon GO Fest experience throughout the other gameplay districts in Chicago.

For all ticket-holding Trainers, the City Experience: Chicago Friendship District Timed Research will be automatically completed.

We will also provide all Trainers who play in Chicago on Saturday, June 6, and Sunday, June 7, with one Timed Research each day, each granting seven encounters with Excavator Pikachu.

Please exercise your best judgement while playing Pokémon GO. We apologize for the inconvenience.
