Learn about conservation at Shedd
When considering things to do in a significant international metropolis, an aquarium may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but Chicago's Shedd Aquarium should not be missed! With more than 8000 aquatic animals on display, it is the cool things to do in Chicago.
Shedd also concentrates on educating, promoting, and showcasing the best approaches to safeguard marine habitats and improve the state of the seas. It's interesting to note that Shedd was the first inland aquarium to have permanent saltwater displays, with salt water transported to Chicago by train tank wagons directly from the Key West waters. Additionally, visit Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe for some of the best pancakes in the city.

Shedd Aquarium is starting an audacious, energizing, and urgent project—a transformational Centennial Commitment that will hasten everyone's access to and connection with nature and amplify ways to care for, conserve, and take action to ensure an equitable, sustainable, and prosperous future for people and aquatic life.
