Welcome to Shedd Aquarium
Strap a mask and flippers onto your imagination and chart a course to Shedd Aquarium. Have you ever gotten eye-to-eye with a dolphin? Or met a penguin on a stroll to the South Pole? Or immersed yourself in an Amazon flooded forest? At Shedd, it's all possible.
Shedd will be closed May 19-21
On Saturday, May 19, through Monday, May 21, Shedd will be closed due to security measures, including street closures, in place for the NATO summit.
