Shedd aquarium was the first inland aquarium with a permanent saltwater fish collection. located on lake michigan , it is located on the museum campus chicago , which it shares with the adler planetarium and the field museum of natural history .. Admission for us was only free the first weekend of september (sunday)with a boa credit card. it’s always only the first weekend of the month(boa credit card) and the shedd only allows the free day on sundays. yes, we still had to stand in line. we were told to go to the will call line but there was some confusion with that..
