My mom came to visit us in early October and we had a blast. One of our favorite things to do in the city is go to the Shedd Aquarium. It is one of the best in the nation, was one our highlights from our trip back in 2011. We have since bought a season pass that gets in visitors for free... Now come visit!!
I love this aquarium because of how many differenct exhibits it has to offer. Every season there is a new exhibit, or something gets brought back. (Stingray touching pond is open May-September). The Jellyfish exhibit was one of the coolest things I have seen there. They do such a great job, and it's appropriate for all ages.
My favorite part of going each time is the live animal show. (I know I know.. Blackfish...) They have the most beautiful Beluga whales. Amelia they swim so close to glass under the tank and play with you. Its amazing. I wish I could stay there longer than Amelia's attention span allows. Their show is in this amazing ampitheater, that looks over Michigan Lake (or ocean as Amelia calls it).
If you have the chance to come to Chicago, go the Shedd and thank me later.
