I went with my 16-year old daughter, and we both really enjoyed it. We have been to a lot of aquariums throughout the country, and this is one of the best for sure. Good place to spend a couple of hours.
I have wanted to visit the Shedd Aquarium for as long as I can remember. It is a beautiful facility that lived up to my expectations. Unfortunately, I choose spring break for my first visit. Who knew that every parent in the Chicago Area would...More

Enjoyed the exhibits, which were varied and informative. The entrance fee is a bit on the high side though

Aquariums start looking the same. But this was as good as any and good dolphin shows and beluga whale. Also nice you can take in your own food. But the do have a good cafe. This was my kids favorite museum.
No huge tank like other world class aquariums but good and unusual collection of fish. Baluga whales, Sea Otters were also fantastic. Not too busy on a Monday.
Fascinating, educational, and entertaining for the whole family. Absolutely worth the price of admission! And to top it off- take a water taxi to Navy Pier or Michigan Avenue after your day of fun. A mini-vacation inside of your next Chicago trip!
Super aquarium! Clearly focused on the ecology, animal welfare and learning this is the best aquarium I have visited. Well worth a visit and the wait to buy your entrance tickets
