Shedd Aquarium
Strap a mask and flippers onto your imagination and chart a course to Shedd, the World’s Aquarium. Have you ever sailed
the Pacific Northwest on a whale-watching cruise? Gotten eye-to-eye with a shark? Or followed a sea turtle as she soared
through the Caribbean? At Shedd, it’s all possible. Explore underwater gardens of iridescent corals and — yes — garden eels.
Wander through a lagoon and mangrove forest and visit a fishing village. Watch out for anacondas and piranhas, giant
spiders and tiny toxic frogs. In churning river channels, still lakes and even flooded treetops look for tetras, turtles
and fruit-eating fish called tambaqui. Lots more different exhibits, tons of creatures to see up close.
