Nothing cheap is good and nothing good is cheap, they always say and I agree completely. When you make a charter bus stop at this Chicago IL attraction, you can be sure that you’re getting the best. Hence, the pricing. Some people complain that the admission fee is exorbitant and although I agree that there are some other Chicago IL attraction costs less, I have to say that they DO really deliver. Imagine the 90,000 gallon of Caribbean coral reef filled with all kinds of beautiful coral.  If you’ve been to other oceanariums or aquariums, the dolphin and whales show should be the norm…nothing exceptional but still, the kids will still be thrilled even if they’re seeing it at this Chicago aquarium for the thousandth time.

One outstanding fact of this Chicago attraction is that when you’re at the dolphin tank, you’ll see that they designed it in such a way that the view projects out into Lake Michigan. Hence, you get the feeling that the dolphin tank is a part of the Lake Michigan. What a play with the mind! Everything from the beluga whales to the sharks, everything so surreal. If you’re ever in Chicago IL for a bus tour holiday with the kids, don’t miss the chance to stop the charter bus here! It’s just simply awesome….for lack of a better word.

However, the lines are exceptionally long during peak hours, so, be sure to book your tickets beforehand. And remember to pack yourself lunch because the food at the restaurant is extremely expensive. You can eat during your charter bus stop at this Chicago IL attraction if you have the budget for it but most people would agree that the café and restaurant here, although panoramic and mouth-watering, is a little too expensive. So, if you’re ready to thrill the kids to bits, rent a Chicago IL charter bus and make your way to 1200 S Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605-2402.
