Well, like others have said, the free museum days. There's Millenium park, the Chicago Cultural Center, windowshopping on State Street and Michigan Ave, as well as Belmont and Armitage. Lincoln Park Zoo. You can ride your bike or rollerblade on the Lakefront bike path. In the summer there are free music festivals (Blues Fest, Jazz Fest, Taste of Chicago, the various neighborhood festivals). You can occasionally see free movies before they hit the theaters if you send an email to Time Out Chicgao magazine (http://www.timeout.com/chicago/index.jsp). Click on the link on the lower right side of the page. I've done this a couple of times. In fact, I saw "The Host" for free a few days before it came out officially. There's free poetry readings every Monday night at Weeds bar (1555 N. Dayton). It is WILD. You can scour the Time Out Chicago magazine for art gallery openings. My friends and I do this all the time. We hit a few gallery art shows on the weekend and they usually have free booze and free food! All you have to do is pretend you're admiring the artwork (LOL). There are a bunch of bars that have drink specials (OK, you do have to spend SOME money http://www.chicagoreader.com/thewell/)... Oh, and pick up a copy of The Reader. They have a special feature called "Free Sh*t" where each week they tell about some place where you can get free food, booze, art objects, etc.
And finally if you want to see theater for free, volunteer as an usher at a local theater. check with the Chicago League of Theaters (I think that's what it's called).

One of my favorite things to do in this amazing city is to go to the top of the Hancock Building: don't take the Observatory elevator (as it will cost you money) -- instead, take the free elevator to the Signature Room on the 95th and 96th floors. There is no cover charge, and you can walk around or sit and enjoy the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. If you go a little before sunset on a clear evening, you get the sky becoming the color of the lake on one side of the building, with the lights of the city coming up on the other side. It's absolutely gorgeous.
Have a wonderful time!

Walking around Navy Pier is free. The free zoo is called Lincoln Park Zoo. The Country Music Fest and The Blues Fest are both free. Air and Water Show too.

The Chicago zoo is free. All of the Chicago museums have a Free day but that is when they are the most crowded.

First of the entire Lincoln Park Zoo is loose. The most effective factor you ought to pay for is parking. Millennium Park may be a first-rate loose park. They host concert events there to which might be additionally loose. Also, investigate out the "Go Chicago Card". You can get into 25 specific sights for one low fee. Check out the great Buckingham Fountain. Navy Pier may be great to walk round on. The artwork institute has loose admission on Thursday night time from five-8pm. Check out those areas.. Don't omit to walk down Michigan Ave and go on a spree..
