We’re hoping its warming up in Chicago as we get ready to celebrate St Patrick’s Day, Chicago-style! In any case, let’s get out of the cold and take in some of the Free Days at Museums in Chicago in March 2013 — We love Chicago’s FREE museums, many of which host free days in March 2013! Check out the free admission days in March 2013 at the Shedd Aquarium, the Chicago History Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, Museum of Contemporary Art and the Chicago Children’s Museum!

Out-of-state visitors may continue to take advantage of great discounted admission offers that include special prices for seniors, children, educators, active-duty military personnel, museum members and others. Check individual museums’ websites for details. Are there some we are missing? Leave a comment and we’ll add them!
