Shedd Aquarium Announces 2018 Free Days

The Shedd Aquarium just announces their free days for Illinois residents. They also plan to extend hours on some of those days.

Illinois residents with a valid ID will be able to receive free admission to the Shedd Aquarium, plus take part in other aquatic exhibits (subject to availability). Those presentations are "Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea" (through Sept.2018), seasonal Stingray Touch (Open late May till October), Daily Animal Chats, and more. If you'd like to upgrade to a 4-D Experience be expected to pay $4.95 per guest. If you reserve your Illinois Resident Free Day tickets online there will be a $3 transactions fee.
