Shedd Aquarium - 8/6/13

[Danh]

I'll be in Chicago on 8/6/13 for work, landing around 1pm. I'm getting in early that day so I can get to the Shedd. I had heard great things about it in the past but was a little disappointed when I looked at the web site. I hope there is some good FW that's not shown on the website. Can anyone confirm? Anyone in the area or who has been have any suggestions as far as the ticket I should get? Since I land at 1, staying a couple of blocks away, I should be able to get there before 3pm. Will 2 hours even be worth it? I am more interested in our FW fish than anything else anyway. It will just be me so I'm not concerned with dolphin shoes either...

I'll search to see if anyone has posted recent pics from it... but hoped a local could help me out.

TIA

Found this is pretty recent. It looks like the FW fish I remember seeing pics of are still there. Now tickets. I guess I just get the normal admission? Looks like that's only $8... Dang.. Includes access to the Caribbean Reef, Waters of the World and Amazon Rising exhibits which I think is all I care about.

I'll probably only go through Waters of the World and Amazon Rising. Any idea on timing? I'm not the type to gawk for a long time.

2 hours is good for freshwater. I spent about that much time when I went in December and we spent about 20 minutes in the jellyfish exhibit and briefly took in the salt.

Perfect. Thanks for your help!
