Shedd Aquarium is free for Illinoisans on these September days

August 23, 2019

You won’t have to fish between couch cushions for money to get into Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that admission to the aquarium will be free for Illinois residents on every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in September.

Residents need to show a photo ID or other proof of residency to gain admission.

Although admission will be free, the aquarium says visitors should get tickets in advance because space is limited.
