All Aboard for Adventure! But Wait, When Does the Titanic Exhibit Set Sail in Chicago?
Ahoy, mateys! Are you dreaming of waltzing the grand staircase like Rose and Jack, or perhaps braving the icy depths with a team of treasure hunters? Well, hold onto your floaties because the "Titanic: The Exhibition" might just be your ticket to setting sail into the past... well, almost.
But here's the thing: You wouldn't want to miss the boat, would you? (See what I did there? No? Moving on...) So, the big question is: when can you actually snag a ticket and explore this historic (and hopefully not too icy) experience?
Fear not, intrepid explorer! Buckle up for some good news:
The "Titanic: The Exhibition" actually docked at the Westfield Old Orchard Mall in Skokie (just a stone's throw from Chicago) back in February 2024.
Even better news: It set sail on an extended voyage and is currently open for exploration until Labor Day, September 2nd, 2024!
So, you've got plenty of time to dust off your top hat or dig out your most fabulous flapper dress.
However, there's always a twist, isn't there? (Remember, this is the story of the Titanic after all.) While the exhibit might not be technically in Chicago proper, it's close enough for a day trip packed with historical intrigue (and maybe some post-exploration shopping therapy).
So, are you ready to answer the call of the deep (or, you know, the call of a really cool exhibit)? Great! Because now you know exactly when to set sail.
