For HUGE discounts on other fun things to do in Chicago and other cities, I highly recommend:
- the Groupon where for they always have deals and bargains for local attractions.
- Living Social
- Goldstar. Not only do they have great tickets to great events but in August 2012 they have tickets to Legoland Discovery Center which is an AMAZING place to spend the day with the kiddos and Goldstar has tickets for HALF OFF! Tickets are valid August 1st – September 30th.

How come this is only available to the Illinois residents?
It’s a GREAT question and it stinks I agree! I dont know Kim
It does suck that its only for illinois.
Just a gentle reminder, the aquarium is NOT COMPLETELY FREE on these days. Only the main floor, fish, frogs, turtles – is free. For dolphins, whales, penguins, sharks or to see the show with dolphins and whales you NEED A PAID TICKET. Good luck out there!
Can i walk in i dont need ticket. Or how i do this?
