We believe there should be no boundaries to the Shedd experience.
Accessible Entrance;
The accessible entrance is located at ground level on the southwest side of the aquarium. Wheelchairs are available for checkout on a first-come, first-served basis with appropriate identification and a credit card.
Handicapped Parking;
The small parking lot between Shedd and the Field Museum offers reserved handicapped parking, as does the Soldier Field north garage. Shedd's bus turnaround, on the south side of the aquarium, is a convenient drop-off point, close to the accessible entrance, for those traveling with a driver.
Sign Language Services;
With a minimum of two weeks notice, Shedd Aquarium will arrange for a sign language interpreter (on the condition that the Chicago Hearing Society can provide one for that day) at no additional charge beyond regular admission for any guest with a hearing impairment. Please call 312-939-2438 (voice) or 1-800-526-0857 (to leave a TTY message with our relay service) to make arrangements.

Mission and Values
At Shedd Aquarium, animals connect you to the living world, inspiring you to make a difference.
That’s our mission. This is how we fulfill it: We’re cool teachers, creating experiences in which learning is fun. We’re dedicated stewards, caring for animals, people and the living world. We’re great managers, running a model organization.
And it goes deeper, to the fundamental ways in which we act towards our guests and each other: Teach and learn something every day. Create an environment of fun. Be a connection to the collection. Be courageously creative. Be passionate.
Whatever the job — feeding the fishes, training the whales, teaching a class, answering a guest’s question, creating a menu, planting a garden, sweeping the floor — we do it with a sense of stewardship, quality, integrity and respect. Count on it.
