I'd like to get a tour going of either the Museum of Science and Industry or the Shedd Aquarium/Oceanarium or both...

We would be including the cost of the tour in with the price of your NetworkJC pass.

We can get a discount for MOSI but not for the aquarium MOSI on 06/08 is a free general admission day so it'll save us a lot of money if we use that friday for a MOSI tour. Active military can obtain free general admission to both MOSI and Shedd Aquarium. I know some who are active military on the site, but if you vote in the poll, PM me and let me know that your active military so i don't "buy" you a ticket.

At the time we will be in town, MOSI's special exhibit will be CSI: Crime Scene Investiation Experience....it is not included in the general admission cost.

General admission price for MOSI on 06/09 and 06/10, if we have 20+ people touring, would be $9.50/person. it does not include the special exhibit (CSI Experience) and I doubt if it includes the U-505 submarine tour. General admission for the submarine is an extra $5.. and the special exhibit (CSI Experience) is probably an extra $9...so i'll find out if we can get that included (depending if folks want to tour these two extras). If we don't have 20+ for a group tour, individual general admission tickets are $11 a pop.

Price for the Aquarium would be $23/person. There are no group tours or special tours listed on the website unfortunately.

I've been to MOSI before when i was young... I liked it a ton because it's more of a hands on type science museum and has a lot to offer...I've also been on the sub tour and that was worth the $$...I have not been to the aquarium, from what i recall.

The average visit takes about 2.5 hrs at Shedd Aquarium and probably 2-4 hrs at MOSI.

If we're going to do either one or both of these tours, i have to get the tickets ASAP to guarantee us an entrance time slot.

IF you plan on going and want a ticket to one or both, please fill out the poll... if you don't know if your going yet and/or don't want to confirm attendance, don't fill out the poll...I have to actually buy the tickets... so it's important that i have an accurate count as soon as possible (esp for MOSI).

This is for people who are definately going to be there in town during the weekend of Jun 8 - Jun 10 for NetworkJC: Chicago.

Just as an added extra....I'll put in a "maybe" section of the poll so i get an idea of how many would *like* to go but can't confirm yet.

the poll will remain open until 1/26.. after that, i have to schedule.
