Will This Trip Be Any Different? Yes and No. Most of the reservations were kept even after Discovery Tours shut down (just not paid for) so most places will not be any different. Staying the Same: - Museum of Science and Industry Visit to Millenium Park to see The Bean Medieval Times Dinner Wrigley Field Navy Pier Shedd Aquarium
Will This Trip Be Any Different? A Few Notable Changes:
Thursday Night We Will Be Going to See: This movie is rated PG-13. If your parents do not wish for you to see this movie, they need to fill out the Opt-Out form. A chaperone will remain at the hotel with students that have been opted-out from seeing the movie.
How Much Money Should I Bring? Talk this question over with your parents. Maybe set up a budget for souvenirs or how much you think you should spend each day. A few things to keep in mind: - Day 2 Dinner will be at Navy Pier. $20 will get you fast food only. You may want to bring extra money if you want to have authentic Giordano's Deep Dish pizza or something more than fast food! - Navy Pier will be your best location to purchase souvenirs! For $15 you can ride the Ferris Wheel. - Day 2 will also be Avengers Movie night. You will need your own money if you wish to purchase any concessions (popcorn, pop, candy, etc.) -
A Note To Parents: The Riverside Local Schools Board of Education has agreed to pay for the cost of the trip due to the unfortunate situation with Discovery Tours. Therefore, they will be asking parents to sign a form stating that any money received back from Discovery Tours through insurance, credit card companies, and/or lawsuits will be given back to the school district AFTER restitution is made.
