"The entire marine world—from the Caribbean reef to Arctic waters—is on view on the banks of Lake Michigan. Some 32,000 animals live here. Big draws include Pacific white-sided dolphins, beluga whales, sharks, stingrays, and some awfully cute otters. The Museum Campus is also home to the Field Museum of Natural History . The private tours, which the Shedd calls “experiences” and are now largely virtual, let you get up close and personal with most of them." - Elaine Glusac
