- a must visit spot yearly, this aquarium is HUGE with so many changes being made constantly!! - me and my boyfriend love coming here, it’s a perfect 1/2 date!! this is also a great place to take kids & a family!! especially in this freezing cold Chicago winter…. - the dolphin show is an extra cost, but 100% worth it. - there is food and parking available on site $$ - the SHEDD participates in museum free days, which is definitely something I would check out!! otherwise, cost to enter is $42 from their site (so pricey!!) but thankfully, they have a TON of free days!!
