Chicago is home to some pretty amazing kid-friendly attractions that you can visit with your entire family, and zoos and aquariums happen to be among the very best. If a visit to them happens to be your idea of family fun, here are three spots that you should check out in the Windy City.

Lincoln Park Zoo

Lincoln Park is one of Chicago’s must-see spots, and it also happens to be home to the city’s most impressive zoo. Lincoln Park Zoo covers 35 acres, and it’s home to over 1,000 animals, ranging from big cats and monkeys to polar bears and penguins. It offers a children’s area and interactive farm exhibits.

Brookfield Zoo

Also known as Chicago Zoological Park, this attraction in Chicago’s Brookfield suburb was the zoo of many firsts.

Shedd Aquarium

Shedd Aquarium has been around since 1930 and it was once the largest indoor aquarium in the world. Its tanks now hold five million gallons, and you can find 32,000 animals on its grounds.

If you ever go to San Diego, California, and are looking for fun stuff to do, you can’t afford to miss SeaWorld San Diego, which is one of the most impressive animal theme parks in the world. This is a great place to visit especially if you’re a fan of all things sea animals.

The park offers a huge number of attractions for the whole family, from amazing shows involving killer whales, dolphins, seals, and sea lions to various rides and animal exhibits.

The various animal exhibits are really some of the most interesting, rich, and diverse ones you’ll ever get to see. Did you know that the San Diego SeaWorld offers 19 different aquariums? Among the sea animals, you’ll find there are piranhas, sharks, sea turtles, and octopuses. The park also has an Explorer’s Reef. The reef includes four touch pools, allowing visitors to interact with different types of fish.

If it’s rides that you’re into, go check out the park’s gondola ride experience, one of its five roller coasters, or other ocean-themed attractions. Kids can enjoy different rides like a drops tower, bouncing mini-submarines, a ride simulating a shipwreck on a deserted island, and a Sesame Street-themed play area.
