Homeschool Field Trip: Shedd Aquarium

Posted by My Heart Song

The Shedd Aquarium in Chicago offers numerous free days each month. No cost for general admission (special exhibits are extra, at their usual exorbitant price). Last week we enjoyed one such free day for a quick one-day field trip to Chicago.


My daughter got to pet a penguin during the Dolphin "Fantasea" show.

Me with some fish :-)

My husband took the day off work to join us. My son stayed with Grandma, so this was a special outing for me, my hubby and my daughter. She enjoyed herself, but missed her little brother more than we expected.

Good memories + educational + fairly inexpensive = worth it!
