This cute Alaska sea otter thinks you should check out the Shedd's free days.

Been wanting to head to the Shedd but having a hard time swallowing the (gulp) $24.95 price tag? Today and tomorrow, Shedd general admission is free with discounted rates for certain special exhibits. The free days include admission to the exhibits Amazon Rising and Caribbean Reef, so if today’s high temp of 32° is too chilly for you, you can always head south.

Can’t make it this week? The Shedd offers Community Discount Days 52 times a year including next Monday and Tuesday, January 25 and 26.
