The aquarium is one of the largest animal collections that along with realtime animal encounters lets its visitors witness the marine animals with the help of 4D and virtual tours. Buy your Shedd Aquarium tickets and watch more than 1,500 species, and provide care for more than 32,000 animals. It is committed to conservation science, research, and education as well as the care of animals.

Abbott Oceanarium - You may experience the thriving coastal ecology of the Pacific Northwest at the Abbott Oceanarium. Discover beluga whales, Pacific white-sided dolphins, sea lions, and sea otters as you stroll along the coastline with your Shedd Aquarium tickets.

Wild Reef - Wild Reef, a fascinating exhibit immerses you in all the facets of a Philippine coral reef, in addition to watching sharks glide by and corals flourish. A world of colour and movement, home to large sharks to tiny mandarin dragonets, awaits exploration in the Wild Reef.

Caribbean Reef - One of the planet's most diverse ecosystems is the coral reef. This colony of predators and prey exists in a delicate, precarious balance that includes the tiniest fish dashing among coral branches to sleek sharks roaming around sunny waters.

Polar Play Zone - Little ones can try on a penguin suit and be a bird in the Icy South play area at Polar Play Zone. One can then take a kid-sized submarine to the Icy North to experience the Arctic waters.

Sea Otter: These marine mammals have the densest fur of any animal—up to 1 million hairs per square inch—instead of blubber to keep them warm in the chilly Pacific Ocean. The dark bodies Sea Otters are one of those animals which are quite popular among tourists. 

Turtles: Meet and marvel at the adorable turtles like sleek sea turtle Nickel or the dome-shaped fortress of the yellow-footed tortoise in Amazon Rising. Turtles have relied on their bony shells, which are tightly linked to their ribs, pelvises, and shoulders for around 220 million years.

Seahorses and Sea dragons: Coral reefs and other protected, shallow environments are home to this tiny, armoured, tube-snouted fish, Seahorse. Many different species of seahorses and some of their cousin sea dragons, each as distinctive as the last, can be seen with your Shedd Aquarium tickets.

Saltwater fishes: Saltwater fish exhibit astounding adaptations for surviving in the world's oceans. From the poles to the equator, from the sunlit surface to the pitch-black depths, they can adapt to any sort of environment, given to them.

Beluga Encounter: Visit and meet the belugas face to face in their habitat and enter chest-deep water and stand side by side with a trainer on an underwater ledge. After donning waders, you will wade into chest-deep water to observe and interact with the massive fish up close. 

Sea Otter Encounter: You can get a close-up view of Shedd's Sea Otters in action during this encounter. This is a popular activity which lets you watch, touch and feed the sea otter world up close and find out how the crew cook tasty and healthy meals for them.

Shark Feeding Tour: On this behind-the-scenes 75 min feeding excursion, you can lunch with the sharks and rays. Check out how the sharks and guitarfish have been taught to react to their respective supper bells and have a look at Wild Reefs

The shoulder season and the busy summer months, between April through October, are the greatest times of year to visit Chicago because there are more activities to do there.Also try to book Shedd Aquarium tickets during morning or afternoon when the crowd is less.
