The Shedd


While in Chicago,we revisited the Shedd Aquarium, which is the world's largest indoor aquarium. The Shedd has over 8,000 animals and over 650 different species. One of my favorite spots is the Caribbean reef, where you can watch a diver feed the animals! The Oceanarium is filled with beluga whales, sea otters, sea lions and dolphins is another don't miss! The curved ceiling to floor glass wall behind the Beluga Whale tank is a visual delight that makes you feel as if Lake Michigan itself is part of the room!!

The Shedd recently underwent a substantial renovation in 2009 and is definitely worth the visit or revisit. It was quite impressive, but I left wondering..... Isn't it ironic to have fish on the menu in their restaurants?
