And I think I can only see beluga whales at Shedd vs any other aquarium I've been to. I really appreciate their quiet rooms for sensory overload/etc. You just have to assume there will be field trips whenever you go, which unfortunately means lots of loud children and lines if you're trying to touch any of the plants/animals.

But, as a little girl, didn't think about all the time, energy and knowledge that goes into one. Well, she learned the hard way, when the first tank guy ruined her tank and killed all her fish. Thankfully but unfortunately for Chris, she walked into his store In distress and he saved the day! The rest is history and now he's stuck with her forever !!
