What was checked & what still needs confirmation
Dedicated official page and October 2026 official calendar verified. Admission fee varies; no unverified ticket availability asserted. Pricing checked 2026-10-12 against the official event and ticket/admission pages. This pricing update supersedes any earlier note saying the admission amount was unverified. Numeric price represents the standard paid entry tier described in priceLabel; free age/member/resident entitlements do not make the entire family visit free. Ticket inventory was not checked. The numeric amount is the published starting guest admission price, not a guarantee of every dated ticket or a Chicago-resident rate.
