Remember what life was like before you had kids? No? Well, allow us to remind you with a fun weekend in the City.

  • Turn onto Southport Avenue and it's hard to resist the neon beacon that lures cinephiles from across Chicagoland with eight flickering letters-Music Box. It's a promise of more than just entertainment, but a total experience. It's a community of strangers coming together over the anticipation of that familiar red velvet curtain rising toward the twinkling, star-covered ceiling. It's a symbol of Chicago's go-to venue for independent, foreign, cult, and classic films.

    Walk by the ticket window and step back in time to when the '20s were still roaring and the theatre first opened-just two months before The Great Depression-on August 22, 1929. It was a time before fluorescent lighting, megaplexes, and artificial butter. And although our ticket prices have changed slightly over the past 90 or so years, the butter on our popcorn is still real. In this package you will receive:

    2 tickets to the Music Box Theatre including one free popcorn & one free soda pass (or "pop" if you prefer).
  • 4 Chicago Architecture Center Exhibit Admission Passes. With exhibits like the Chicago City Model Experience & Imagining the City of 2050 - this is a Chicago-lover's Dream
  • 2 Chicago Architecture Center walking tour passes. Take a walk through time to learn about the architectural roots of Chicago from the Great Fire of 1871 onward.
  • Catch a show at the Steppenwolf Theatre. The Steppenwolf ensemble first began performing in the mid-1970s in the basement of a Highland Park, IL church, the ambitious brainchild of three high school and college friends: Jeff Perry, Terry Kinney and Gary Sinise. Fast forward 40 years and the Steppenwolf Theatre Company has become the nation's premier ensemble theatre-redefining the landscape of acting and performance. You will receive 2 tickets to any remaining 2021/2022 through 2022/23 season show (excluding The Old Man & the Pool & Saturday Night and Sunday matiness)
  • Finally, grab a pizza at Lou Malnatis with your $25 gift card!
