Monday Monday Mondaayy!! (and Tuesdays too)
Okay, this one’s not technically free but it’s about as close to free as you’ll get. On Mondays and Tuesday Oct-Feb, you can go to see the Laser Dolphins at Shedd Aquarium for $9 if you’re a Chicago resident. Sweet deal! They also have an exhibit going on now right now where you can swim with baby beluga whales (this costs extra)

My personal favorite out of the 13 museums that you can go to with the pass. Beautiful fish, great exhibits, and if you pay a little extra you can see the dolphins and whales.
Bring me back a dolphin.
