Since December was so busy, we were unable to go to that month's cultural location. We finally made it to the Shedd Aquarium today and I have to say I was largely unimpressed.
First, today was a supposed "Free Day". In most museums a free day allows you to see the majority of the museum and often will only charge you for traveling exhibits. The Shedd Aquarium only allows you to see half of the museum on it's Free Day and forces you to pay to see the rest (which is all the stuff most folks want to see - ie: whales, dolphins, penguins, sharks) for a "discounted rate". This discounted rate isn't quoted on it's website. When we arrive we are confronted with a $16.95 charge to see these things (the museum is usually $20.95). Instead of "free day" they should use the term "$5.00 Off Day".
Secondly, I was mostly unimpressed. Sure, it was cool seeing the various fish but the exhibits themselves were unremarkable. Also, the children's area was incredibly lame in comparison to any of the other museums.
Unfortunately, I just don't have much to say about the Shedd Aquarium other than that we will probably not be going back any time soon.
