Shedd Aquarium - The World's Aquarium
Shedd Aquarium - The World's Aquarium
Shedd Aquarium was built in 1929 and is one of the world's largest Aquariums. It's a very popular place and I advise you to arrive early. If you decide to attend on a day when there is a Bears home game or other major event at Soldier Field, access to the Museum Campus can be tricky. No museum visitor parking is available on the Museum Campus during Bears home games. However, public transit remains a wonderful and uncomplicated way to get to the Campus every day of the year. For more information, check out www.yourcta.com or call the Regional Transportation Authority at (312) 836-7000.
