I've been to the Shedd Aquarium numerous time, paying ~$20 each time. It's worth it! This is the second best aquarium in the US (after the Monterey Bay Aquarium).

Every single time I've gone to the library to check on the availability of those passes, nothing was available. If you want to use one of those passes, make sure you check well ahead of the day you want to use them.

Thanks

I agree, it's next to impossible to get that free pass from the libraries (or even a decent book outside of the main library).
