Dip into life under the sea from the Swissôtel Chicago, a sophisticated choice for those looking for hotels near Shedd Aquarium. You’ll thrill to Fantasea, Shedd’s new aquatic show. Belugas dance, penguins parade, dolphins leap and surprises abound as mysterious animal guides take you on an unforgettable journey within the Oceanarium’s state-of-the-art amphitheater. Then explore the rest of the newly renovated, reimagined Oceanarium to get closer to the belugas, dolphins, sea lions, sea otters, penguins and other animals that inhabit the Pacific Northwest and icy polar waters. Kids will love Polar Play Zone, with its touch pools, penguin dress-up area and mini submarine. From there, warm up in the tropics! Shedd’s award-winning Caribbean Reef exhibit features a charismatic green sea turtle and a kaleidoscope of colorful reef fishes. Dive a little deeper in Wild Reef, with its live corals and cruising sharks and rays. In Amazon Rising, you’ll meet everything from tiny dart frogs to giant turtles, tarantulas and catfish. Finish your tour in the Waters of World galleries, where you’ll find animals from oceans, rivers, lakes and islands – including Australian lungfish Granddad, a Shedd resident since 1933 and the oldest fish on exhibit anywhere.
