With 3 milion gallons of seawater and six diverse and vibrant habitats this Aquarium is one of the largest indoor marine mammal habitats in the US, offering animal pods an enriching environment in which to thrive.

Chicago, located on lake Michigan in the state of Illinois, is a large, vibrant and cosmopolitan city. Its metropolitan area often called „Chicagoland,” is the third largest in the United States. Chicago is one of the world’s great cities, and yet the metropolitan luxuries of theater, shopping, and fine dining have barely put a dent in real Midwestern friendliness.

Its location is ideal for travel, tourism and international business. Famous for blues, jazz, comedy, shopping, and dining – Chicago is situated in the hub of the Midwest. The picturesque skyline ascends the waters of huge Lake Michigan – a first impression that soon reveals world-class museums of art and science, miles of sandy beaches, huge parks and public art and perhaps the finest downtown collection of architecture in the world.
