Look Nature in the Eye
Discover the wonder of the aquatic animal world.
Shedd Aquarium combines the best of early 20th-century aquariums — a diverse, global animal collection surrounded by mouth-dropping architecture and a commitment to 21st-century advances in animal care, environments, and interpretation.
Permanent exhibits to explore:
Caribbean Reef
A 90,000-gallon tank gives you a 360-degree tour of an underwater reef community. Watch over 70 species — including sea turtles, sharks, and stingrays — glide through the circular tank.
Amazon Rising
Watch out for anacondas and piranhas, spiders, rays, and crocodiles!
Wild Reef
Housed in its own underground wing, get a diver’s-eye view of 540 species of aquatic life — sharks, stingrays, eels, and the largest public display of live corals in the Midwest, included.
Abbott Oceanarium
Visit the Pacific Northwest and get up-close with whales, dolphins, sea otters, sea lions, and more. Take a walk through a lush temperate rainforest, and head to the coastline, where you’ll discover the surprisingly diverse habitats in the cold waters along the ocean coast. Also, make a special journey to see the penguins, who have their own special habitat within the Oceanarium.
Aquatic Show
Watch dolphins soar and belugas dance while Shedd experts highlight amazing animal adaptations in a live setting.
