I have loved the Shedd Aquarium ever since I was a little kid. Back then I was fascinated with sharks. When you walk into the Shedd and step up to the giant corral reef aquarium that is the center-piece of the original aquarium, it's truly like being underwater. The feeding time is the best time, when you get to see the person in the scuba gear swimming around in the tank feeding the fish. Yeah, it's cool looking for the sharks, but look in the ree for the moray eels as well.
In recent years the Aquarium has expanded. They have created an entire enclosure for dolphins and beluga whales that is truly one of the most beautiful exhibits I have seen outside of Sea World. This exhibit, sitting right on Lake Michigan and designed to look like the water tanks go right into the Lake, is simply gorgeous.
The beluga whales are beautiful to watch. I believe one of them just had a baby not very long ago. White and graceful, you can watch them in the tank from above or take a trip down below and watch them under water. It looks like they are peeking right back and you and entertaining you as you watch.
The rest of the exhibits are great as well. My love for this place has never died and I wish I could get back there more often than I do.

Okay even if you are not looking to buy a fish this is the place to go. They have awesome displays with all different kinds of fish. Plus the guy who helped me buy my last 3 fish was super nice. Telling me how to save money, how to feed the fish and make them live longer. I promise you that they are so helpful that you will just want to buy a fish after to visit the place!

This pet shop is a thrill for all of its visitors. I used to come here as a little girl and it still never gets old. They used to have a tiger, leopard, or jaguar at some point for visitors to watch as they took care of it. They sell puppies, kittens, and a wide variety of birds, fish, mice, gerbils, hamsters, chincillas, ferrets, lizards, snakes, etc... The list truly goes on and on. You can't miss this shop from its vibrant exterior. It is an experience like none other.

What a nice store! It is a small ma-pa shop that employees people who actually know what they are talking about. Our family walked out of a super sized type pet store (which will remain unnamed). Those kids did not know what they were talking about. We found Park Pet Shop via our Iphone and I'm glad we did. We will come back here again!

More
If you live or work in the Lakeview/Wrigleyville neighborhood and have dogs or cats, don't miss this gem of a pet store just north of Wrigley Field. In the age of Petcos and PetSmarts, this store stands apart from the crowd. You'll almost always find the owners at work in the shop. They're friendly and eager to please. (I've found them wiling to ship things, special order, etc.) The store sells a great variety of toys, supplies and premium/super-premium food (none of those brands loaded with low-quality byproducts and fillers).
If you want your pet to eat food that's as high-quality as what you eat, you'll find it at a place like 4 Legs, not one of the chain pet stores. And if you like to spend your money at locally owned stores, 4 Legs is one of them.

This is a cute little upscale shop that specializes in doggy goods like homemade treats, blankets, beds, collars, etc. If your pooch is in need of some pampering, I'm sure you'll find the perfect item here. It's also a great place to buy a gift for a new dog owner or for your own pet at the holidays.

I have never had a bird, but I think I have read that birds tend to like some kind of stimulation. I am not sure about television, but I suppose anything is possible. I know when we had a parakeet we were told to put mirrors in the cage and it would entertain itself by chattering at its reflection.
