Most of the museums in and around Chicago offer free admission on certain days. For anyone on a budget, these days are a great and inexpensive way to visit the attractions throughout Chicago. A few of the museums offer weekly free days, while others are gratis a few days here and there. A good way to know how to schedule your plans around the free days is to visit ExploreChicago.org which lists all of the museums and their free days.
Throughout the 2010 year, the Art Institute of Chicago is free every Thursday night from 5pm – 8pm. and the Museum of Contemporary art is free all day Tuesdays. The Chicago History Museum offers free admission on Mondays and the Children’s Museum at Navy Pier is free on Thursdays from 5pm – 8pm.
Some of the other museums like the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry have various free days throughout the year. They are all listed on the website previously mentioned. We also list all of the free days on our “Concierge Weekly” available at the concierge desk or on the side of this blog.
There are several museums throughout the city which are always free including the beautiful Cultural Center located south on Michigan Avenue and the eclectic Museum of Contemporary Photography also south on Michigan Ave. Of course, the Lincoln Park Zoo is always free and only a 10 minute bus ride away.
Enjoy!
