About Shedd
Oceanarium Renovation

At Shedd Aquarium, animals connect you to the living world, inspiring you to make a difference.

That’s been our mission for the past 78 years, and we will continue to honor that commitment well into the future.

The Oceanarium renovations that start in September are one more way of putting these words into action. This short-term project will enable us to provide our animals with even better care; offer you, your family and friends more engaging and entertaining educational opportunities; and improve our guest amenities to meet your needs.

We’ll keep you posted about our exciting changes here. Be sure to visit the Oceanarium often to see your marine mammal friends before we begin the needed renovations in September.

Throughout the fall of 2008 and winter and spring of 2009, as the renovations proceed, you’ll want to visit Shedd again and again. We’ll have new programs and experiences in the original galleries and Wild Reef that will have you saying, Wow, I never saw that before!

Then, we look forward to celebrating with you and all of our friends and supporters when we reopen your Oceanarium. Thank you for your continued support of your aquarium and your animals.
