Wishes for Fishes Family Sleepover

Grab your pajamas and sleeping bag, and join us for a night of family fun with your favorite Shedd animals. Enjoy themed activities for all ages, animal encounters, dinner and dancing, and an aquatic show. The adventure continues for families sleeping over in our galleries. A late-night snack and continental breakfast are included. Children must be at least 5 years old to stay overnight, and all children must be accompanied by an adult.

Families wishing to come to the party but not stay overnight may do so by registering for the evening-only option. Enjoy all of the festivities without the slumbering!

Friday, Apr. 12, 6:30 p.m. – Saturday, Apr. 13, 9:00 a.m.
Overnight option: $75 a person ($65 for Shedd members)
Evening-only option (ends at 10 p.m.): $35 a person ($25 for Shedd members)
*Program fee does not include parking. Membership must be noted on your reservation form to receive the discount.

Due to space constraints, we have a new air mattress policy with fee attached. If you bring your own air mattress there is a charge of $15 per air mattress. This fee will be due at time of registration ($15 per air mattress). Shedd does not supply any air mattresses for use. Good alternatives to air mattresses include inflatable pool mats or camping pads.

Please note children must be at least 5 years old to spend the night.
