Illinois State House District 56 issued the following announcement on Oct. 6
Shedd Aquarium will offer twelve total days: Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, in October when Illinois residents can visit the aquarium free of charge!
Tickets must be secured ahead of a visit. This can be done on Shedd’s website or by phone: 312-939-2438. Free admission will not be granted to guests who walk up without a reservation. https://www.sheddaquarium.org/plan-a-visit
All adults must provide proof of residency in-person when redeeming tickets at the discounted rate. For the latest information about the aquarium hours and discounts, please visit our “Plan a Visit” page or call 312-939-2438.
Please note: A $3 transaction fee applies to Illinois Resident Free Day tickets reserved online. This helps ensure access to as many neighbors as possible by validating orders.
Illinois Resident Free Days will look different than previous years, as Shedd has adopted several stringent measures to ensure guests have a safe and enjoyable visit. This includes a severely limited building capacity, timed-ticketing, one-directional pathways throughout the building, mandatory face coverings, readily available hand sanitizer stations and more.
These free days underscore Shedd’s commitment to allowing everyone an opportunity to come eye to eye with aquatic life – even despite the aquarium’s extended closure earlier this year.
