Shedd Aquarium Free Days 2011:
Chicago's Shedd Aquarium has a number of free days throughout the year when they waive the general admission for visitors, which includes their Waters of the World, Amazon Rising, and the Caribbean Reef exhibits. A package which includes the other areas of the aquarium including Wild Reef, the Oceanarium, and the Polar Play Zone are offered at a discounted price. But be warned -- while you'll save money, the free days add to the already packed crowds at the Shedd.
You can also visit the Shedd Aquarium for free with the the purchase of a Go Chicago Card (Buy Direct) or a Chicago City Pass (Buy Direct).
