Just got back from the Chicago Public Library (Lincoln Park branch - Racine and Fullerton), and as I was checking out, my eyes caught sight of this board.
The board contained a list of the most popular Chicago area museums, including the Shedd Aquarium and the Museum of Science and Industry. Each museum had a status of either "In" or "Out" next to it.
So, being an inquring mind, I asked the librarian what the deal was. So here's the skinny:
Each Chicago area library (I'm sure that other cities have this as well) have free passes to the museums. They have up to 5 for each place, and each pass is good for up to 4 people. You can't reserve them in advance, but if you score one, you get to keep it for up to a week.
So when its raining, and you want to check out some fish, but not pay $25/each to go to Shedd...seek out your public library.
note - i also picked up Erik Larson's "Thunderstuck". Pretty stoked about this book....
