Educational in their live shows and I could tell the kids were absolutely joyous on being able to actually see the animals close up.This was my most anticipated place for my Chicago visit and it did not disappoint.
The marine life in the museum is very rich, there will be various animal performances, and a lot of knowledge has risen. The address is in the center of Chicago, and it is very cheap to buy tickets on Trip.com. I feel that the price is very good.
Wonderful exhibits for the animals, loved seeing replications of what they’d face in nature. Really appreciated that the dolphins and belugas were in an enclosed environment as to not get sun burned in their enclosure, as many face this issue in other zoos/aquariums that are outside. Beautiful Aquarium
At the shores of one of the five Great Lakes, Lake Michigan, a park called Museumcapmus opens its arms of incredible beauty, designed to unite the three largest museums in Chicago with winding paths and wide alleys. One of the pompous, mesmerizing buildings is designed in the spirit of neoclassicism, and the facades seem to bring to life the mysterious inhabitants of the depths of the sea imprinted in stone. The building itself made of terracotta and marble is striking in its grandiosity of design: here is the rigor of the Doric order in massive columns, and the classics of Greek pavilions, and a wide marble staircase. This is what the famous Shedd Aquarium looks like.Today it is in the first place in the country in terms of occupied area, and was once considered the largest in the world. Up to two million tourists visit this amazing place every year. Here, innovations, modern technologies and the variety of species presented perfectly coexist with the traditions and delights of architectural solutions, and caring for the inhabitants and the environment is an integral part of the management's policy, which has become the key to the success of the Shedd Aquarium.
The Shedd Aquarium is HUGE and located in Chicago IL and this is Chicago’s most visited attraction. Its bit crowdy with screaming kids (*_*) and you can barely get close enough to see anything. Getting there in the morning so you have more time slots available to choose from for the dolphin show. They have a wide variety of sea life from different areas around the world. In simple words this is a great display of aquatic life and recommend it for young children and anyone who enjoys marine life.
