G ShiauApril 7, 2013Don't come here with toddlers. The Nazis wouldn't let me use the food court without a purchase. No outside food. Yes they have an alternative lunch room but it's six miles away. F### them.
Jay GeneskeDecember 30, 2009work here, but it's still the best place to get close to amazing animals. check out lion fish in wild reef. so foppish!
Dan GakenDecember 31, 2011Think you might come back? Buy the membership, it pays for itself and helps a great cause!
Tim RoesslerMarch 27, 2011Gets tickets online, at a hotel, or buy membership to avoid crazy long line
Cassandra DixonDecember 22, 2015I absolutely love you Shedd Aquarium! Check out Freebie today!
Buy tickets online ahead of time and you will spare yourself a two hour wait... No lie
James BrentApril 12, 2013Want free general admission? Just enter through the gift shop. They don't monitor it.
Laura Harvey StoutFebruary 20, 2011Free days are awesome, and loved the story about saving the sea turtle
jaimie lee melkaApril 7, 2010Go on a weekday.If you live in Chicago, stop at one of their libraries-they usually have a free pass you can borrow.
Nicole CrowderJuly 31, 2011If time is precious to you... get a city pass!!! Waited in line for over and hour only to get to the front door and be told there was a 30 minute wait because they had reached capacity.. oh well.
Paula DaviesJuly 8, 2010I'd suggest getting a Chicago Go Card or City Pass just to skip the lines... they are freakin' insane! Honestly, wasn't that impressed... there are just too many people crowded in there to enjoy it.
Chriss Jeremy StumpJuly 8, 2011Most of us are here for our kids. Don't be rude, we ALL waited in line, we ALL need to see. Be patient. Be kind. Don't push. Don't be rude. & please NEVER move the stroller of a mother of twins. Rlly?
