This is a really great aquarium with an incredible diversity of animals. All manner of aquatic life is covered, from seals and dolphins all the way through Amazonian fish. The exhibits could have a bit more explanation but overall a great experience. Take note that you will likely have to wait quite a while to get in though.

This is one of those places you must visit in Chicago.They have amazing exhibits from all over the world with fun shows for kids, 4-D movies, and pretty much.The shark Aquarium is great.Jellies Exhibit is amazing.
The staff is friendly and kind with kids. The atmosphere is also very comfortable If you go to the Shedd and don't see the aquatic show you have missed the best part of the aquarium!!!

Beautiful location and aquarium. Its a family favorite the kids love the circular aquarium in the center they feel like they can almost touch the fishes. Its busy but large enough to accommodate large groups. A must when visiting Chicago .

I went here on a saturday afternoon and that was def the wrong time to go. I had to wait in line outside for 45 min then another 15 mins inside the building to pay for a ticket. It however, was worth the wait. The set up was nice and they have really cool displays. They have a lunch area with great food although expensive. Lastly, I caught a dolphin show at no extra charge. I would go back just not on a weekend afternoon.
