The Shed Aquarium

We decided to visit Chicago, as we will be moving out of the area soon. We tried to take advantage of
the free days that Chicago Muesums sometimes offer. I remember them being every Monday or Tuesday, but now they are scattered and grouped together strangely...so we ended up being able to only visit the Aquarium which was O.K. We decided to add on some of the extras and got to see the shark tank, and an interactive movie that was 4-D....if you don't know what that means I will explain:
When the whales on screen spray water, you get sprayed in real life..bubbles on screen, bubbles are blown around the theater; weird eel on screen, things under you chair rub against your leg; pokey things on screen, and a little pokey ouchy thing pokes out of your chair back..oh, and you get to wear special glasses. It was fun, but we enjoyed the special tanks better. All in all it was a fun trip. We stayed at a hotel the night before, so it wasn't crazy driving in that morning...although Chicago traffic downtown is still nasty at 10 am. The kids had a blast looking in all the tanks, and looking at all the "Nemo" fish.
