Dolphins and whales can do amazing stunts. They can even sing, so cool. Everybody there had tons of laughs! That's the best part of the whole tour.

This is one of my favorite places to visit. I may just be very partial to it because I have been visiting this place since I was young or it just may be one of the best aquariums in the U.S. There is so much to see and do here. The exhibits are designed with such intense attention to detail. The aquarium takes you through different parts of the world and allows you to experience the different species found in the different parts. There are daily feeding shows that take place, this is a must do because it adds so much more information than a person could get from just walking through the aquarium.
The dolphin show is a must do! The show over looks Lake Michigan and gives the idea that the dolphins are out in the wild. This show also provides much information about the dolphin's natural behaviors. It is an interactive show where that host asks questions and the audience is encouraged to respond.
There are free days throughout the year so if you are in the area on those days it is free to get in but there will be the rest of Chicago there with you. They have many other activities too many to discuss here so here is the website: http://www.sheddaquarium.org/about/index.html.

I love this aquarium because of all the different fish from all over the world. Plus, it is one of the only aquariums aside from Sea World where you can see Beluga whales! I also like their pirhana exhibit. It's a great place to visit. They have a dolphin show, which is a must-see. Also, the otters are spectacular. Their new exhibit is "Crabs," which I haven't seen yet but am planning on going back soon. Their tanks and animals are just so well cared for and clean. It's great to see a place put so much pride in their work.

I love aquariums, and this is by far the best one I have ever been too. Definitely set aside at least 3 or 4 hours to see everything. I am sure that Saturdays are very crowded, so it would be best to go during the week. They have every kind of sea creature imaginable, and the tanks are beautiful. The have a very nice food court to stop and take a break at, and it's not overly expensive.

This is one of the largest aquariums I have ever seen. There are TONS of fish everywhere! It is a great place for a family. The eating area overlooks the lake, with a great view!
