![]() So we had our tickets in hand and were ready to explore. Now our tickets were actually not AT will call as we had these VIP tickets we had to go into a guest services office to the right of the door we entered. We cut through the line and headed up to the will call area. And that line was for people that needed to buy their tickets. Upon arriving at Shedd Aquarium there was a long, long, long, line (did I mention the line was long?), I would estimate about 6 city blocks. Looked like we needed to call on them a, but the price was a little less than the Shedd Pass and included what we want to see! Bonus! ($31, the price has now gone up to $34, which would still be less than paying the ticketmaster fee). On scrolling further though, at the very bottom I saw something called the Shedd VIP Tickets. As we wanted to see the Jelly fish exhibit, as well as the aquatic show, we were looking at Shedd Pass for $33.95 from ticketmaster plus $1.75 if we printed out own tickets. As we were only planning the aquarium and the art institute, we decided we were better off going with single entry options. You can find different ticket options available online here The city pass would be a good deal if you planned on doing all those attractions. I read some information from other travelers and we knew we wanted to get our Shedd Aquarium tickets ahead of time. We started researching our trip and found out we would be taking the “El” into the downtown riverfront area and your can read my blog post about the “El” here We had a few “tourist” things we wanted to do, and Shedd Aquarium was at the top of the list. Open daily at 9 am, the Shedd Aquarium is a wonderful opportunity to explore the wildlife of the mysterious oceans and waters of the world.For a pre birthday trip in April, I met up with a good friend in Chicago. You can also pet stingrays, take a guided behind-the-scenes tour of the aquarium, see and experience a 4-D movie, and even stay in the aquarium overnight. Belugas, dolphins, sea lions, and otters perform before your eyes with incredible feats of skill and strength. ![]() While you’re at Shedd, attend the aquatic show where you can watch as the trainers show off what the amazing animals can do under their direction. For the young ones, Polar Play Zone is an excellent stop where they can explore the area without reserve. Wild Reef is home to the largest living coral reef in the aquarium as well as creatures of crazy features and shapes. Sea lions, sea otters, stingrays, jellyfish, octopuses, thousands of fish, and a variety of sharks are gathered in their beautifully designed habitats. See the belugas and Pacific white-side dolphins at the Abbott Oceanarium, visit the creatures of the Amazon, or take a 360-degree tour at the Caribbean Reef exhibit. Located within a stately marble building in Grant Park, Shedd Aquarium is home to animals from every corner of the globe. ![]() With 32,000 animals and a giant living reef, this indoor aquarium is one of the best in the country. Opened in 1930, the Shedd Aquarium pairs 20th-century architecture and a fascination with marine life with modern exhibit presentation, animal care, and knowledge of the deep blue sea.
