Illinois resident free days at Shedd Aquarium

Museums are back!

I’m so happy to see that the museums in Illinois are opening back up for visitors! Not only that, but the Shedd Aquarium is offering free days for Illinois residents this month. As such a large family, we love to take advantage of museum free days, otherwise we can’t afford to go.

What is the Shedd Aquarium?

The Shedd’s mission is Sparking compassion, curiosity and conservation for the aquatic animal world. Here, there and everywhere, Shedd Aquarium connects nature lovers and animal enthusiasts with the aquatic animal world. Beluga encounters, beach clean-ups and 360 virtual dives with Caribbean reef sharks are all tools that deepen connections with wildlife and work toward this vision. Set right on the shore of Lake Michigan in downtown Chicago, the Shedd Aquarium is home to many animals such as belugas and bluegills, stingrays and sturgeons, sea stars and sea otters—and so many more animals from aquatic environments around the world. Large or small, freshwater or marine.

About Paula

Paula Krueger considers herself a "baby "chef, not because she cooks for babies, but because she's still learning how to cook. She started this blog after taking Wilton method classes and at that point was more interested in baking. She's since become more interested in learning to cook as her family has grown. She also covers product reviews and travel as well.
