I love the ocean, and visiting is generally one of my favorite things to do. The best part about Chicago is that they have not only water but then I can see exactly what goes on under the water at the aquarium all around the world.
Here's what you can expect from a day at the Shedd Aquarium a fantastic exploration of the waters from the:
° Oceanarium, dolphin performances, sea otters and et.° Caribbean Reef, sharks, jellyfish, the dangerous waters off the Caribbean coasts° Amazon Alligators, snakes, spiders more amazing creatures° The Wild Reef, showing eels more sharks, beautiful schools of various fish and much more
I love this place because this amazing Aquarium brings you face to face with some of the most amazing creatures.
One of my favorite visits I was with my husband and we were looking at these rocks which were about a foot or so from the glass all propped together, we were looking for any sign of life inside this particular tank when we noticed an eye looking at us from this small hole, about five inches around. I wasn't quite sure what eye was staring back at me. I quickly discovered that it was an octopus, the entire eight-foot octopus squeezed out of this tiny hole and filled the entire length of the glass in front of us! It was so amazing to see just how small they can make themselves and just how big they can get when they're fully stretched out. It almost seemed like a different creature!
The Chicago Shedd Aquarium really makes the underwater world come to life! Each exhibit makes it feel like you're really there!
It's an amazing place to take family friends or to even go alone. Plus they have discount days on occasion and delicious restaurants on site. It's really a lot of fun and quite an experience for the everyone.
