Wanderlust Tales : Shedd Aquarium, Chicago
Yet in continuation from my wanderlust tales of Chicago, which you can read about in the below links:
The next in line was the famous - Shedd Aquarium which is an inland aquarium in Chicago.
There is an entry fee to visit the site - depends on what you choose for. I fail to remember the exact option we chose, but we shelled out about 30-35$ for the day pass. You will find people all age groups queuing up to visit the aquarium.
History goes as to John G. Shedd wanted to give back to the city of Chicago in which he had risen from stock boy to president of the department store giant Marshall Field & Company. Because every great city in the United States and Europe had a fine aquarium, he decided that Chicago must have the biggest and best.
Mr. Shedd imagined a stately marble building and a collection of aquatic animals from around the world that would complement the two world-class institutions already in Grant Park, the Field Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago.
It houses one of the finest habitats of the sea.Must not miss a chance to visit this aquarium. The dolphin show is the best treat for the eyes - such intelligent species. They were also playing some sci-fi movies and 4D clips during the time I was here. Keep the map handy - in case you don't want to lose way.
They have a plethora of sea animals.

You need to keep ample time in hand to visit the aquarium.
The view from the Shedd Aquarium is soothing - plentiful of boats and yachts on the Michigan Lake.
