Chicago: Taking in the Sights without Breaking the Bank


By Judy Koutsky

Chicago is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, so it would make sense that couples come here to explore this great town and take in all the attractions. However, that doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank thanks to Chicago’s CityPass.

It’s not surprising that three marquee names in science and entertainment – the Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium and famous Field Museum – are located on a vast, green-lawn campus with the lake at its edge and the skyline as its backdrop. Not far away, the Museum of Science and Industry another attraction on the CityPass beckons. The view from the Hancock Observatory, high above fabled Michigan Avenue, offers a daytime four-state view or beautiful city of lights at night.

Visitors get access to five of the top Chicago attractions for half the price. The best part is that you can avoid the long lines at each attraction because there are special “CityPass” lines to fast track visitors into each sight. To purchase tickets go to citypass.com. CityPass is valid for 9 days and the validity period begins the first day you use your booklet at the first attraction. So start exploring.
