That’s insane. I can remember when you could get in a nice (non-Disney) theme park for $30/head.

- driscoll42 3y agoTo be a bit more fair to the Chicago Field Museum, the base ticket price is $30 for out-of-state adults, only more if you want access to one of the extra ticketed experiences, which are nice, but you can kill a full day on just the base ticket and have a great time. Ticket prices are also cheaper for Illinois and even cheaper for Chicago residents.
- TylerE 3y agoThat makes sense. Here in NC I don’t really remember the state museums charging for base admissions, other than the zoos. You only had to pay for IMAX and things like that

- pbrb 3y agoMSI is one of the best museums - you can often find free or heavily discounted tickets as well. Most employers in Chicago have access to a benefit program where you can get free tickets by scheduling in advance online. If you haven't been, highly recommend a visit. Especially if you're brining kids - hard not to have a good time when you can walk into a water vapor tornado.
