As a part of our longstanding Illinois Resident Free Hours program, Illinois residents with valid ID can enjoy free admission to the aquarium on select evenings.
We
offer several reservation options for Free Evenings. For those who prefer to plan
ahead, online ticket reservations are available with a $5 convenience fee per
order. Alternatively, you can reserve tickets by phone
with no convenience fee by
calling 312-939-2438 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Central Time (CT). We also
provide free walk-up reservations; however, these are subject to availability
and typically sell out quickly. Advance reservations are highly recommended due
to the high demand for tickets.
Please note that there is a $5 convenience fee per order for Free Evening reservations made online. However, you can reserve tickets by phone with no convenience fee by calling 312-939-2438. This helps ensure access to as many neighbors as possible by validating orders.
