One of Chicago's most iconic attractions is raising its price of admission.
During a Chicago Park District Board meeting Wednesday, commissioners granted the Planetarium permission to increase its admission fees from residents and non-residents, a press release said.
Fees for city residents will increase from $6 to $8 for children ages 3-11, and from $17 to $20 for adult. For non-residents, admission prices will increase from $8 to $13 for children and from $19 to $25 for adults.
The price increase is set to go into effect April 1.
