Shedd Aquarium, Dive into a world of aquatic wonder
1200 S Lake Shore Dr

Introduction
Shedd Aquarium is one of the most popular museums in Chicago. As the first inland aquarium to exhibit and care for saltwater fish, it has always been attractive. Visit the large Caribbean reef exhibit to see marine life feeding performances by divers in the aquarium. In the shark exhibit, observe marine life face-to-face through resin glass. Of course, there are also marine animal performances, including the exhibition of marine mammals in the Fantasea Hall and 24 great white sharks in the Wild Reef exhibition hall. At the same time, you can also touch the starfish with your own hands in the touch pool of the Polar Play Zone, and enjoy the shock of the 4D cinema.
In addition, the aquarium has hired many "star curators", such as the oldest member of the aquarium, "Big Daddy," an 85-year-old Australian lungfish, and the fattest beluga whale "Narwhal" in the aquarium.
Summer is the busiest season for visiting Shedd Aquarium, so be patient and ready to wait in line for tickets. Address 1200 S Lake Shore Dr
