Chicago Shedd Aquarium is a great way for visitors of all ages to get a peek under the deep blue to meet aquatic creatures from all over the world. Don’t miss the fascinating look at a world humans very rarely get to see.

 

From the exotic to the ordinary to the extraordinary, this fantastic aquarium houses all different species of underwater animals from all corners of the globe. One of the aquarium’s most popular displays is the Caribbean reef exhibit, featuring an outstanding variety of incredible creatures that live in the nooks and crannies of an authentic Caribbean reef.

 

The aquarium’s acclaimed exhibit of life in the Amazon during its annual flooding. Witness scores of birds, reptiles, fish, and even a mammal or two as they must adapt to life in a flooded Amazon. See infamous piranhas, slinky anacondas, and the amazing leaping arawanas fish. Perhaps the stars of the Shedd Aquarium are the dolphins in the Pacific Northwest Coast exhibit. Kids and adults alike love the wacky antics of these incredibly intelligent creatures that live in the fragile coastline that stretches from California to Alaska. With scores of interesting creatures, a trip to Chicago’s award-winning aquarium is a highlight of any trip to the Windy City!
