May I please add: PLANETARIUMS.
ART MUSEUMS also
Also: extremely specific museums that have like 6 rooms and one extremely enthusiastic volunteer
Chicago has all of these:
- Lincoln Park Zoo - free admission
- Shedd Aquarium
- Field Museum
- Garfield Park Conservatory
- Adler Planetarium
- Art Institute of Chicago
Chicago Architecture Center
And would you believe that the Conservatory is also free?
+The Art Institute has free days for Illinois Residents & The Chicago Public Library has various Free Museum (and other) passes for cardholders (even for things outside of Chicago!)
