Come on in, the water’s fun!

You’ll find something wet, wild and wonderful wherever you walk at Shedd.

Our galleries are home to creatures from the Waters of the World – rivers and reefs, Great Lakes and small ones, and the global ocean. So take a tour of the water planet. Want to explore a little deeper? Immerse yourself in the Caribbean Reef, Amazon Rising’s flooded forest, the Oceanarium’s Pacific Northwest coast and Wild Reef’s Indo-Pacific reef. Go totally polar in Polar Play Zone and be sure to see Fantasea, Shedd's new aquatic show.

Watch the trailer for Fantasea, the new aquatic show.
