Aquarium in Chicago"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>For a pre birthday trip in April, I met up with a good friend in Chicago.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We had a few &#8220;tourist&#8221; things we wanted to do, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheddaquarium.org\/\">Shedd Aquarium<\/a> was at the top of the list.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We started researching our trip and found out we would be taking the &#8220;El&#8221; into the downtown riverfront area and your can read my blog post about the &#8220;El&#8221; here https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/getting-around-chicago-as-a-tourist\/<\/p>\n<p>I read some information from other travelers and we knew we wanted to get our Shedd Aquarium tickets ahead of time.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You can find different ticket options available online here https:\/\/www.sheddaquarium.org\/ticketprices.html\u00a0\u00a0 The city pass would be a good deal if you planned on doing all those attractions.\u00a0 As we were only planning the aquarium and the art institute, we decided we were better off going with single entry options.\u00a0\u00a0 As we wanted to see the Jelly fish exhibit, as well as the aquatic show, we were looking at Shedd Pass for $33.95 from ticketmaster plus $1.75 if we printed out own tickets.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On scrolling further though, at the very bottom I saw something called the Shedd VIP Tickets.\u00a0\u00a0 Looked like we needed to call on them a , but the price was a little less than the Shedd Pass and included what we want to see!\u00a0 Bonus!\u00a0\u00a0 ($31, the price has now gone up to $34, which would still be less than paying the ticketmaster fee).<\/p>\n<p>Upon arriving at Shedd Aquarium there was a long, long, long, line (did I mention the line was long?), I would estimate about 6 city blocks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And that line was for people that needed to buy their tickets.\u00a0\u00a0 We cut through the line and headed up to the will call area.\u00a0 Now our tickets were actually not AT will call as we had these VIP tickets we had to go into a guest services office to the right of the door we entered.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So we had our tickets in hand and were ready to explore.\u00a0 It appeared to me that the &#8220;general admission&#8221; ticket covered the exhibits on the main floor (and for $8 a person, it was definately worth the price).\u00a0 Below is a Sunflower Sea Star<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4601\"

There were a few more options you could add on such as a stingray touch, and a 4D experience.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The additional exhibits appeared to be down one level, so after getting ourselves somewhat oriented, and checking out a few things,\u00a0 we headed down to find the Jellies.\u00a0 Wow, this was one incredible exhibit.\u00a0 I could have sat for hours watching these amazing creatures.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4602 aligncenter\" alt=\"DSCN0838\"

on my priority list was seeing the Sea Otters, as well as the Aquatic show, which has dolphins that moved from my &#8220;home&#8221; zoo.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Unfortunately, as we were standing in line to get some lunch (all the food lines were long, if you have little ones, bring some snacks with), we were informed the electricity had gone out, and we needed to evacuate.\u00a0\u00a0 What?\u00a0\u00a0 We were not even close to being done!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So we shuffled out with all the other people, and had a seat over near the field museum to keep an eye on things.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The traffic was horrendous, I am not sure if the Planetarium had a power outage as well, or if it was just from all the cars in the parking lot from the aquarium, but it was very slow moving.<\/p>\n<p>We were able to get our tickets replaced however and are hoping to return this summer with our families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a pre
