Jazzin' at the Shedd

Enjoy spectacular skyline views, live music, fireworks and cocktails!  Then visit 32,500 animals and explore Shedd's exhibits, including Jellies.

Wednesday evenings, June 26 through Sept. 4, enjoy the best that Shedd Aquarium and summer in Chicago have to offer at Jazzin’ at the Shedd.

You can hear some of the finest musicians in the city, from jazz to funk, while enjoying beverages, lake breezes and the skyline from our terraces. And when the sun goes down, the sky lights up with fireworks from Navy Pier. Take advantage of our extended hours to visit with your favorite animals: the Abbott Oceanarium, Jellies special exhibit and Polar Play Zone will be open until 8 p.m., Wild Reef will be open until 9 p.m., and the aquarium galleries, along with the terraces, will stay open until 10 p.m.

While Jazzin' at the Shedd is free for members, all are welcome to attend.
