Chicago Highlight :

Opening Night at the John G. Shedd Aquarium

Walking in a Water Wonderland

Kick off Marketplace with a visit to the John G. Shedd Aquarium, the world's largest indoor aquarium.  Enjoy the marine mammal presentation in the Pacific Northwest environment of the Oceanarium before heading into the main galleries.   Here, you can go from a year in the Amazon to exploring the sea life around a Philippine Island including sharks, stingrays and beautiful coral.  Enjoy a presentation in the Caribbean Reef exhibit while a diver feeds the fish and teaches you about the marine life swimming about the tank.  After indulging in the bountiful buffet and desserts, dance the night away with one of Chicago's favorite jazz bands.  Don't miss it!
