Sightseeing in Chicago @ MAX 2007

For those of you going to MAX in Chicago this year and might be interested in doing a little sightseeing, I wanted to pass along some things Troy and I were looking at.

Chicago City Pass - $49.50/person - http://www.citypass.com/city/chicago.html

This covers:

• Shedd Aquarium VIP
• The Field Museum & Underground Adventure
• Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum
• Museum of Science and Industry plus OMNIMAX
• The Hancock Observatory
• Bloomingdale's Visitor Shopping Package

CityPass is valid for 9 days and the validity period begins the first day you use your CityPass booklet at the first attraction.

If you plan to hit more than one of these attractions this may be worth buying. It does not cover the Sears Tower Skydeck http://www.the-skydeck.com/ though which is $12.95 + fees per person.

We also looked at the Go Chicago card http://www.gochicagocard.com/ which does cover much more, but decided it wasn't such a great deal since pricing is based on the number of days you use it.

I hope this helps.
