Chicago Museum Boasts 'America's Best Restroom'

If you’re ever in Chicago and you really have to go, stop by the Field Museum—its restrooms are officially the best in the country. The natural history museum’s bathrooms have won the 10th annual “America’s Best Restroom” contest, run by restroom-supply company Cintas. So what’s so great about these toilets? Well, they’ve got environmentally-sound faucets and driers and are cleaned hourly—but that’s just the beginning, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The restrooms also are adorned with night-sky art that’s “calming” and “also absorbs sound,” Cintas says. Parents can bring kids to the “tot area,” which features smaller toilets and a nursing zone, complete with a couch. The Field Museum “strives to give visitors the best service and exhibitions,” says an exec. “We also feel this about the amenities." Click through for pictures of the restrooms.
