Shedd Aquarium

Distance from hotel: 3.5 miles
Visit this world-class aquarium to get an up-close view at exotic marine animals in a diverse array of habitats. Head to the Caribbean Reef and watch divers feed sea turtles, stingrays, sharks and tropical fish. Check out the Oceanarium, where dolphins and beluga whales cavort. The Wild Reef is the best simulation of an actual underwater experience without actually getting you wet.
