Shedd Aquarium

At Shedd Aquarium, animals connect you to the living world, inspiring you to make a difference. From whales to snails, tarantulas to turtles, you’ll meet more than 32,000 creatures from aquatic habitats around the world. Explore Shedd’s newly renovated Oceanarium, where you can get face to face with beluga whales, dolphins, sea otters, sea lions and penguins. Polar Play Zone is a new permanent exhibit where kids and their families can play, splash, pretend and discover through hands-on activities. Take an unforgettable journey during Fantasea, the new aquatic show opening in late 2009. Then meet some of Shedd's critters up close during live animal encounters in the Waters of the World galleries, talk to a diver in the 90,000-gallon Caribbean Reef, take a walk through a flooded forest in Amazon Rising and watch sharks overhead in Wild Reef. Don't miss Granddad, the world's oldest fish! Two million annual visitors can’t be wrong: Shedd Aquarium is the must-see destination in Chicago!
