jaimie lee melkaApril 7, 2010Go on a weekday.If you live in Chicago, stop at one of their libraries-they usually have a free pass you can borrow.
Jane BlosseyJune 25, 2011The show could be either dolphins or the beluga whales. Be prepared to not always see what you want.
Chriss Jeremy StumpJuly 8, 2011Most of us are here for our kids. Don't be rude, we ALL waited in line, we ALL need to see. Be patient. Be kind. Don't push. Don't be rude. & please NEVER move the stroller of a mother of twins. Rlly?
Shawn WilliamsFebruary 1, 2010Fun place to go on a Saturday or Sunday. The new show isn't as great as the old show, but still fun to watch.
James BrentApril 12, 2013Want free general admission? Just enter through the gift shop. They don't monitor it.
David HsuSeptember 3, 2011For weekend trips, buy tickets online to skip the long lines just to enter.
Dan KimJuly 8, 2013Huge lines on the weekend. Not really worth it. If you have any experience with Californian aquariums or Sea World, this doesn't match up at all. Save your money and time.
Nicole CrowderJuly 31, 2011If time is precious to you... get a city pass!!! Waited in line for over and hour only to get to the front door and be told there was a 30 minute wait because they had reached capacity.. oh well.
Benjamin MorganMarch 10, 2010One of my favorite places to be touristy in my home city! There's always something to engage my curiosity.
