The Go Chicago Card is an offer for those visiting our fair city and allows them access to the big attractions - the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, both zoos, etc. - over three, five or seven days as they make their way around town.It's a great idea for tourists, but leaves city residents out in the cold, unless they take a week off of work.
Here's my idea - a city pass for city residents that would allow Chicagoans to do the same circuit, but wouldn't have the truncated timeline.
How nice would it be to have six or eight months to take in the museums, zoos and other attractions for a discounted price? Just a simple punch card that would get you through the doors once at each location?
It wouldn't cost the company much more to print some different cards and get people out the door in the cold to see the museums. They could even leave the Lincoln Park Zoo off the list - with that being free anyways, there's no need to pad their record with the locals.
So come on, Go Chicago Card - help out Chicago residents. Why should Iowa get to have all the fun?

Hi there,
Your blog post came up in my Google Alerts, and since I work for Go Chicago Card, I thought I'd drop you a quick comment. We're definitely aware of your concerns, so we've also created a seasonal product called the Chicago Explorer Pass. The pass is valid for 30 days from the time you activate it and gets you into some of the attractions included on the Go Chicago Card. We hope to have 2008 pricing unveiled later this spring, so check back soon for more info!
Best,
Susan

Thanks, and I'll keep an eye out for that to update it here.
