Accessibility

We believe there should be no boundaries to the Shedd experience.

The "Man with Fish" sculpture and fountain welcomes guests at the accessible entrance.

Accessible Entrance
The accessible entrance is located south of Shedd Aquarium's main entrance. Wheelchairs are available for checkout on a first-come, first-served basis with appropriate identification and a credit card.

Handicapped Parking
Handicapped parking is available in the North Garage at Soldier Field and two nearby lots.

Sign Language Services
With a minimum of two weeks notice, Shedd Aquarium will arrange for a sign language interpreter (on the condition that the Chicago Hearing Society can provide one for that day) at no additional charge beyond regular admission for any guest with a hearing impairment. Please call 312-939-2438 (voice) or 1-800-526-0857 (to leave a TTY message with our relay service) to make arrangements.
