Shopping at Shedd

From the educational and enlightening to the fun and fuzzy, you’ll find something for everyone interested in aquatic life and conservation at the Shedd Aquarium stores. You can also visit our online store.


Dining at Shedd

Soundings Café
The new Soundings has a wholesome menu, a casual atmosphere — inside and on either of the terraces in warm weather — and snappy service. Enjoy fresh salads, wraps and sandwiches made to order and featuring organic, locally grown ingredients. The children’s menu includes classic PB&J, mini fish sliders and other favorite fare. Coffee, tea, bottled beverages, beer and wine are available.

Bubble Net
Our food court currently features hot and cold sandwiches to go, salads and beverages. It will reopen completely with a fun family menu later this summer.

Deep Ocean Café
Located in Polar Play Zone, the Deep Ocean Café caters to the kid in everyone: Vienna hot dogs, mac and cheese, slushies, Dippin’ Dots and Mrs. Field’s cookies.
