The best free finds in Chicago
Description:
Who doesn't love free stuff? Especially when traveling, freebies can make an experience so much sweeter. These 10 free activities will show you some of Chicago's best features without feeling like cheap hand-outs. Chi-town's museums all have a free day (or at least a range of free hours), and the zoo animals, plant life, and gorgeous grassy areas of the city can all be experienced without opening a wallet. Who says music and culture have to be expensive?
