    It is located on the shore of Lake Michigan. It looks beautiful from the outside and the layout inside is also very unique. Be sure to check the map and schedule when entering the aquarium. There are different activities, performances and movies at different times. There are some marine animals that are not available in domestic aquariums. Animal highlight Don't miss it. The dolphins are so cute. And the glass wall is so beautiful. The 4D movie is also good. Remember to use the pass for high cost performance.

    Nice diversity in exhibits. Beautiful building and interior design. They switch art collection very often so go often you will be surprised. Sometimes it might not be your taste but still fun to check out new trends and artist. There's a cute cafe on the basement as well serve pretty good coffee. Farmer's Market out front on the Tuesday mornings but they aren't allowed dogs to go into the farmer's market! That was a bit disappointed. Love the Tuesday night Jazz, ordered a wine or beer and cheese and sit on the lawn. I saw people bring their own picnic basket too. a wonderful way to enjoy Chicago summer! love this museum
