Chicago TFF Meeting

[cometcattle]

Do you guys know that Chicago residents can check out a family pass at any branch of the Chicago Public Library?

Not many people take advantage of this, because it's almost kept a secret.

You can also do this for many other attractions.

I'll find out how it work's as far as using it for non-residents.
Were all "fish" family anyway.

I do know the best branches to get them are the small "local" ones. I've tried before at Harold Washington, with no luck.


You guys picked a good date also, there's really nothing going on that weekend by the Lakefront. The next Saturday(8/21) is the Air and Water show and a home Bear's Game. The air water show draws almost a million people to the lakefront and all the Aquarium parking will be full by 8:00AM with tail-gaters for the Bear's game.

Depending on when you finish at the Shedd, you might want to think about the Field Museum and the Adler Planetarium. They are both across the street.

10-11 probably would be best for anyone driving in from other areas. It would probably be easiest to meet out front. I can be there a little early to look out for people. OOh maybe I'll make a sign!

we had discussed doing a different aquarium every summer in the us. planning ahead so we could get lots of people together

maybe we could do boston next summer, or get a group going in that area. everyone could post their individual photos

I second this one! I would sooooo go to the one in Boston. Unfortunately I can't make it to the one in chicagoe.

 

[ostrow]

busy, can't make it..... and i live right here...

may be difficult to get locals with reef tanks to make it as the CMAS picnic is the next day...
