This place was great. We visited this place last week and it was fun together with my family. The kids were pretty much enjoying watching the show. Definitely we will be back here. A wonderful place.

The Shedd Aquarium is great, it has everything you want in an aquarium. There are dolphin shows, beluga whales, maniteesan giant fish, sharks, a nice shark feeding at the entrance to the aquarium. \r There are also jellyfish and a kind of…

I am not sure how you can have a baby buluga whale and have a show like this. What a missed learning opportunity. This is by far the worst executive decision I have ever seen. This shows concept, idea, and funding should have never…

I just adore this place ever since I was a little girl - take a day off life and come here - make sure to find out which exhibits are showing at which time and GO !
bad show and poor education!

OMG It was SO boring!

My husband and I spent fifty dollars on tickets to see the "AMAZING" Shedd Aquarium because it was all hyped up as one of the best attractions in Chicago. Yeah... not so much. After paying FIFTY bucks we essential walked around and looked…
My Childhood Favorite
YahtzeeGirl from Citysearch11/03/2009 3:10 am
The Shedd has been a favorite of mine since my parents took me to visit the aquarium at an early age. I love the way they have the aquarium mapped out , and how the group different species together. And at every visit I always learn…
Fun for Every Age

It doesn't matter how old you are or how many times you've been, the Shedd Aquarium always provides a fun time. This museum always has a great feature exhibit that's worth the trip, along with the must-see dolphin show. Bring your…
Amaaazing place!

Amazing place. Friendly staff, great attractions. Beluga whale, penguins, sharks, seahorse, coral in downtown chicago. 4-D Planet Earth was an amazing experience. Missed dolphin show, but heard its awesome. A little steep in $$, however,…
Great place to visit

This is a chicago staple. It is a great aquarium with an awesome view of Lake Michigan. The Oceanarium is very interesteing, along with the mammal show.
Great tourist attraction
Chadrock5 from Citysearch05/11/2009 12:06 pm
I could spend all day in this place. There is always something to see and enjoy. This is the perfect place to take friends or family who visit the city.
What is the chef thinking?

Aside from the beautiful view and atmosphere, Soundings should work on making their food more flavorful. I ordered a grilled tandoori tofu wrap and was extremely disappointed. I come from an East Indian background and "tandoori" means…

Great view, good service

My wife and I visited Soundings as a part of our whirlwind tour of the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum and Adler Planetarium. Even though we were very busy that day, Soundings provided a great respite from the screaming children and large…
great aquarium
Susan H from Insider Pages10/08/2007 11:51 pm
This aquarium is huge and so cool. They have so many fish and aquatic life that it's hard to see it all. I especially liked seeing the dolphin show with the lake in the background. It's set on a great location on the lake.
Awesome for kids!

I have been to a few aquariums for school field trips and this one just beats them all! Because I am a teacher I received an all access pass for free which was a wonderful bonus, but even if I had to pay the entrance fees it is well…
