Did you know that you can take a tour of the historic Chicago Theater in downtown Chicago? I just learned of this myself. For $12 a person, you can:
View beautiful French-Baroque interiors
Stand on the famous theatre stage
View autographed back stage walls
For more information, visit the Chicago Theater’s Venue Tour page.
Growing up my parents didn’t have a lot of money. However, every summer without fail, we’d go to the zoo, the aquarium, and the museum. My dad would take two weeks off from work and my parents would schedule our trips around the free days each location was offering.
Luckily, the free day tradition lives on so my husband and I can still take advantage of all the great things Chicago has to offer without breaking the bank.
Below is a list of the up-coming free days for our often-visited locations. Feel free to visit this site for a complete list of all museums and their corresponding free days for 2013. In addition, check out Bank of America’s Museums of Us program which offers BOA cardholders free admission to select museums on the 1st weekend of every month.
