TRAFFIC ALERT
Roadwork
Construction has started on a pedestrian and bicycle underpass for Solidarity Drive near the aquarium. Additional roadwork will create a direct link to Shedd’s turnaround from Museum Campus Drive. Through December, expect lane closures, delays and restricted parking on Solidarity. The project will make it safer and easier for everyone to get around in this area.
On Saturdays and Sundays, Shedd offers valet service to aquarium guests for $25. Take advantage of this service at the guest drop-off area on the south side of the aquarium, off Solidarity Drive. This offer is limited to available parking space.
