The indoor botanical Crystal Gardens could be teared down and replaced with a virtual experience. Currently, visiting the gardens is free for all…

The virtual safari experience would cost guests $30 to participate… Which is obviously way more expensive than the FREE Crystal Gardens.

A petition is making the rounds, trying to save Navy Pier’s botanical garden. It already has more than 21,000 signatures as of morning of Wednesday, October 6th. You can check out the petition here.
