Description
On the shores of Lake Michigan lies a gateway to an underwater world unlike anything you've ever seen, heard, or touched. Sharks patrol, jellies pulse, and fishes from around the world school together. Shedd Aquarium is the destination where guests become explorers.

Have you ever head-bobbed with a blue iguana on a desert island? Gotten eye-to-eye with a piranha in the Amazon? Or followed a sea turtle as she cruised through the Caribbean? With more than 32,500 animals representing 1,500 species, it's all possible at Shedd.

You can even have an up-close and personal encounter with dozens of sharks in Wild Reef. Floor-to-ceiling exhibit windows give you a diver's-eye view of a Philippines coral reef, teeming with live corals and more than 500 species of reef fishes of all shapes, colors and sizes.

Strap a mask and flippers onto your imagination and chart a course to Shedd, the World's Aquarium.
