I’m having family over next weekend. It’s a large group with a few kids and they’d like to go to Shedd. We’re hosting them, so tickets are on me, and the tickets are pricey. Anyone have luck getting discounts or tips on saving a few bucks?

Tickets are significantly discounted for Chicago residents. If you buy in advance online you should be able to get that discount for all tickets (they don’t ID pre paid to my knowledge).

Oh interesting. Yeah I could try that.

Can you check perks at work?

Yep nothing on there. Additional points on CityPass, but no real discounts or $$ savings

You can get museum passes from the library for chicago residents - I’ve used them when family visit in the past. Worth checking if the Shedd is available

Was just gonna mention this!

I don't know any family who is expected to cover everyone when you're hosting them in your city. Lol must be a generous family!! Even when we host dinners (or others host), everyone pitches in. Interesting how different families are with this stuff. But they're lucky to have you hosting (and covering the tickets)!

It is what it is, I’m generous 🤷 JK. There’s nieces and nephews I’d like to take and they don’t usually get the chance to go. Can’t leave the parents behind lol

Consider getting a membership. Can deduct as a charitable contribution and some levels of membership allow you to bring in extra guests with you.

looked into it. Only the Cadillac tier of $1000 would allow that and the economics don’t work at that point. Thanks tho!!

I don’t know how to just let things be and feel we’re as good as I know we are.

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
