here is your chance to sway with the sea horses, pulse with the jellyfish, and hop with the penguins to the rhythms of nature.  

“Shedd After Hours” returns to the beloved city aquarium this spring and summer. The grown-up getaway is 21 and up and includes access to all permanent and special exhibits, touch experiences and entertainment.

There’s an evening event for all music tastes, from jazz to salsa to house music, with the series kicking off on March 23 with the Ritmo del Mar. There’ll be salsa, cumbia, and merengue music, animal chats with experts in English and Spanish, games of loteria and bachata dance lessons, all surrounded by aquatic life.  

Food, beverages and 4-D Experiences are available for purchase.
