Any suggestions for FREE things to do in Chicago this weekend?

We are going and I haven't been since I was 3. Any suggestions on the cheap??

There's usually lovely concerts and such.

There's also the beach.

Lincoln Park Zoo is free, but you have to find parking. The zoo lot is $7 ???

beware - taste of Chicago opens Friday - lakefront from Art Institute south a few blocks will be crowded. If you can afford Taste (meals average 4 for a 'taste' portion) go early, like 11am when it opens.

Otherwise stay near Lincoln Park, etc. and wander around where the rich folks live. Walking out on navy Pier is free, too - again, like the zoo, it is parking that gets you!

Thanks, guys. We're staying on the Naval base. Taste of Chicago might be interesting.

I know the Cubs are @ the Sox and we can't afford Sox tickets. I wish the Cubs were playing at Wrigley this weekend.
