Culture and Learning on the Cheap in Chicago!
July 22, 2008 by
If you plan on visiting Chicago and want to experience the exciting museums and attractions that the Windy City has to offer, you have a couple options that could potentially save you lots of money.
The first option is the Chicago CityPass, which gets you into five famous Chicago attractions for one low price. The adult ticket price is
$59 and the kids' tickets (ages four to 11) are $49.
The second option is the Go Chicago Card, which gives you unlimited admission to more than 25 attractions and tours for one low price. The adult ticket price is $59 and the kids' tickets are $44.99. The prices listed are for one day only. If you'll be in Chicago for a few days, you will need to check out the two and three day passes.
Museums in Chicago each offer their own discount deals and entrance fees. This guide will direct you to the deals at the following museums: Shedd Aquarium, The Field Museum and The Art Institute of Chicago.
Shedd Aquarium
The Shedd Aquarium offers community discount days. The general admission is free; the days generally take place on Mondays and Tuesdays although it is best to check the Website for the exact dates.
The Premium Day Pass is $27.95 for adults and $20.95 for seniors (65+) and children (ages three to 11).
This pass entitles the ticket holder to experience all the aquarium has to offer: the Oceanarium, Wild Reef, Lizards and the Komodo King, Amazon Rising, the Caribbean Reef, Waters of the World and a choice of 4-D Special FX Theater features: the new Planet Earth: Shallow Seas or a SpongeBob SquarePants adventure.

The Field Museum
The Field Museum is a personal favorite of mine and it also offers community discount days, typically during the second Monday of the month. However, the museum offers 52 free admission days a year so it is best to check the Website for the exact dates.
