Freebie Fish Week Part 2

adminUncategorized%s Comments

Apparently, I’m not the only one who knows that admission is free this week at Shedd Aquarium.   This is what I encountered upon my arrival:

The line went until the Field Museum but seemed to be moving fast so I started walking toward what I thought was the end.

Oh no- the line wrapped around the corner and into the parking lot.  I like fish but not enough to wait in that line.  Catch ya later, Flipper.

The walk to Museum Campus wasn’t in vain, however.  How can it be when I get to see views like this of my city?

Home Sweet Chicago Home.

Chicago Museum Free Days

adminUncategorized%s Comments

Chicago has some of the best museums in the world but to go to all of them will cost a pretty sizable chunk of change.  Luckily, you can score totally free admission if you take advantage of one of the “Free Days” listed below.  Weekend days, obviously, go early because everyone loves free but I’ve found that hitting up weekdays is fairly sans lines.

Enjoy!
