I received complimentary tickets in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
There are tons of amazing places in Chicago that are a must-visit and the Shedd Aquarium is definitely one of them. Recently I took my three kids (ages 3, 5 and 7) by myself and honestly we spent six hours there. My kids did not want to leave and have already asked when are we going back. Now you may think “How can you spend six hours looking at fish?” Well because there is so much more than just fish! There are actually 32,000 amazing animals to check out. It’s also huge inside that I feel like we may have even missed some things! Oh and for kids they do have an area for them to play and run around a little and yes they do have a food court inside to eat at.
Now I could go on and on about what we saw, but I think pictures will do a better job:
We saw a 4D movie:
My kids spent hours in this small sub, they loved it and wanted to keep going back to it:
One thing you may not think of is to get a Shedd Aquarium Membership. For us, we could honestly go back enough that the cost ($195 for a family) would be worth it.
Some benefits of having a Shedd Aquarium membership:
Now here are some benefits that are not advertised but are awesome for moms:

I love aquariums! They are just so much fun and so tranquil at times! I would love to check this one out!
I live near Chicago and I can tell you the Shedd Aquarium is a great place to visit especially if you love our swimming friends! You can learn while having fun!
Great photos. I have not traveled or went on vacation in so long. I think it is time to do so. Thanks for sharing.
The Shedd Aquarium has been a place that I have always wanted to go. Thanks for all the great pictures. Lucky kids!
I absolutely love Chicago and can't wait to take my 6 yr old to visit the city. Shedd looks like so much fun and it sounds like a membership would be well worth it! The aquarium and MSI are definitely on my list!
I would love to go there as well as take my grandkids. It looks like you had a great time. The pictures were great. Thank you for sharing
I would love to see this.
Thank you for sharing your visit with us, the pictures are awesome. We've been to Chicago, but not together. We went on business trips. We want to go back this year, our lives have changed and we are on our own again and can take our Granddaughter. I love sharks and would love to see what they have. 4 D Movie, wow, I can only imagine. Thanks again for the pictorial visit.
What a fun aquarium. Thank you for sharing your pics and review.
My girls love the Shedd Aquarium!
