The shed aquariam is an awesome place. You will find every type of fish here. It is pretty interesting. It is a great place to take the kids. They will surely enjoy themselves. However, you cannot spend too long here. It does get kind of boring after looking at fishes all day. I found the dolphins and whales to be the best site. The fee for admission is pretty reasonable. I find it not to be too pricey or cheap. I would suggest everyone to go here. It can be prety exciting and fun.

This is a fun place to go to, especially if you have young children. They have all sorts of fishes here in every size and color. Pretty cool place! They also have many shows here which are fun to watch. The building is huge and designed real nicely. It doesn't cost too much to get in..and they always have some specials or discount days going on. Basically, its a cool place to go to to see and learn new things!

I love spending a day at the aquarium. The price is a bit high, but I think it is well worth it! The all access pass is the way to go (if you can afford it) because you have access to everything the aquarium has to offer. The oceanarium has dolphins, beluga whales and otters to watch. The Amazon Rising area is very educational and neat to see the rising and falling waters. And my new favorite is the Shark Reef (only a couple years old) which has sting rays, jelly fish and of course sharks to view and watch. It is a very beautiful aquarium that overlooks Lake Michigan.

The Shedd Aquarium is one of the greatest aquariums I have ever visited. The building is magnificent - a true temple to the natural world. There are two admittance rates: one that allows access to just the fish and one that allows access to more. If you're short on time, the fish will keep you plenty busy, but to see everything is quite worth it. Go very early to miss the lines - they can be quite long during the day. If you're going many places, it's worth looking into the Chicago Pass - this is on it. The Shedd does offer a student ID rate.

What a beautiful place to observe marine life. They have a dolphin show that is less exciting than the one at Brookfield Zoo, but more educational. If you live in Chicago you must visit this place a few times to get a real taste of what they have to offer. You will be able to witness every imaginable sea creature.

This aquarium was really nice. It was full of so much variety - from dolphins, penguins, poisonous frogs, coral reef, tropical fish, local fish, and so much more. There was something there for everyone! I walked around and looked at everything the exibit had to offer and I continued to be fascinated by the things I saw and learned about these amazing aquatic animals! I strongly recommend this museum to anyone who has a slight interest in aquatic animals!

Wow is a way to sum it all up. On a recent trip to Chicago I wanted to stop by and check out this place. I am so glad I did. I was very impressed at the upkeep of the various aquariums throughout the place. There was a dolphin show that I was lucky enough to see! It was so cool. My favorite part of the entire place was the seahorse exhibit. I never knew that many different kinds of seahorses existed! The gift shop was a great way to end my experience there. I purchased a magnet with seahorses on it and a sweatshirt. I'll definitely go back again the next time I'm in Chicago!

Shedd Aquarium is a Museum with live fish and marine live. They have a variety of fishes from sharks to small fresh water fish. They have a center aquarium Coral Reef in which divers feed them 5 times a day. They also have Oeanarium in which they have Beluga Whales and dolphins in which there are shows with the trainers throughout the day. Excellent place for kids and those who are visiting Chicago. Parking can be difficult to find and parking is usually additional fee.
