shedd aquarium


We got to see the Beluga whale show, which I was pretty excited about until I realized that it was mostly just a narrator and some small tricks. The whale finally did a jump at the end, but most of my kids were asleep.

The best part was the Wild Reef exhibit. Since they limit the number of people, we actually got to spend time looking at different species of fish. And, they did a great job of setting up the exhibit so that I could ask meaningful questions. The first tank made a huge splash. We stood and talked about why the little fish don't go flying when a wave crashes through. We also got to stand on top of a glass-top tank with stingrays.

Can't wait to take my 2012-13 class!
