点评:This is not the Worst Aquarium I’ve been too but I’ll definitely say it’s not the Best. The Dolphin Show / whale show saved them . It was probably the most entertaining thing about the aquarium. If you’re looking for the Atlanta or Florida Aquairum (Tampa) . This is not it.
Pros:
- Beluga Whale and Dolphin show. The show was well organized . The view of Lake Michigan was beautiful . Multiple shows and a lot of available space for families to sit. No splashing in the winter time . Seats are very low so be careful if you have knee and/or back problems.
- Hot Dog stands outside the aquarium. Probably cheaper than Aquarium food . Did not eat inside the aquarium.
- Relatively close to the other museums/ sites included with the City Pass . BUY the city pass . This Aquarium can be walked through quickly.
- Organized entry . Entry was relatively quick.
- Employee walks around with a sign that says ask me. Individual was very helpful . I asked the person a lot of questions because the maps and signage inside the aquarium are not well informative.
Cons:
- Parking . Yes on weekends you have to pay meters in chicago . Meter parking is hard to find. Therefore you’d have to pay 35$ to park close which fills up quick or pay at the garage which is a nice walk . It is cold in February. Plan accordingly.
- Unclean bathrooms. Pay your cleaning staff more and hire more cleaning crew . Cleanliness is everything. It should be atleast 6 staff rotating the building given the size of the crowds.
- Long wait time to get on elevators to go downstairs. This was a waste of time and a way to try and force families to take photos and pay for them. Nothing exciting was down there minus coral reefs. Who was the engineer and mastermind behind this project?
- 4D Theater experience used reusable glasses which are not properly sanitized . These glasses should be replaced with recyclable glasses to ensure sanitation standards are met. The shark 4D show was educational though.
翻译:这不是我去过的最差的水族馆,但我肯定会说它不是最好的。海豚表演/鲸鱼表演拯救了它们。这可能是水族馆最有趣的东西。如果你正在寻找亚特兰大或佛罗里达水族馆(坦帕)。这不是它。
优点:
- 白鲸和海豚表演。表演组织得很好。密歇根湖的景色很美。多个表演和许多可供家庭坐下的空间。冬天不会溅起水花。座位很矮,所以如果你有膝盖和/或背部问题,请小心。
- 水族馆外面有热狗摊。可能比水族馆的食物便宜。没有在水族馆里吃东西。
- 距离城市通票包含的其他博物馆/景点相对较近。购买城市通票。这个水族馆可以快速穿过。
- 有组织的入口。入口相对较快。
- 员工举着写着“问我”的牌子四处走动。这个人很乐于助人。我问了这个人很多问题,因为水族馆里的地图和标牌信息量不大。
缺点:
- 停车。是的,周末你必须在芝加哥支付计费。计费停车场很难找到。因此,你必须支付 35 美元才能停在附近,但车位很快就会停满,或者在车库支付,那里离得不远。二月很冷。请做好相应的计划。
- 浴室不干净。多付清洁工的工资,多雇清洁工。清洁是最重要的。考虑到人群的规模,至少应该有 6 名员工轮流值班。
- 等电梯下楼的时间很长。这是浪费时间,也是一种强迫家庭拍照并付费的方式。除了珊瑚礁,那里没什么好玩的。谁是这个项目的工程师和策划者?
- 4D 影院体验使用的可重复使用的玻璃没有经过适当消毒。这些玻璃应该用可回收玻璃替换,以确保符合卫生标准。不过,鲨鱼 4D 表演很有教育意义。
