Shedd Aquarium, Chicago

Overall I enjoyed the experience. Very nice displays of sea life. However, beware, there are a lot of stairs along with some ramps. Elevators small for accommodating strollers and passengers. Masks not mandatory for vaccinated but no process in place for checking to verify. I wore my mask the entire time. The food court was very crowded with one line. Food staff did an excellent job trying to keep up. At this time not enough staff. Also, no gluten free items readily available on the grill menu. The line leader kindly requested a cheeseburger for me ,without bun, and indicated to workers it was an allergy. Burger was very good! He was very kind to do this since he and others were very very busy taking care of others.

I took my family, and we had so much fun. My kids enjoyed seeing all the different fish. They liked the dolphin show too. I just became a member, and I'm happy to have done it. You get free entry for as long as you are a member and best of all your contribution goes to good use. Now I went on a weekend so make sure to buy your tickets in advance because it was busy.
