Aquariums are quite rare in comparison, and wherever you find them, not nearly as well made or maintained at all. There are precious few aquariums of true world class beauty and standard that are open to public.
One of these is the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. The Aquarium is truly an example of efficiency and a fantastic place to visit for all sea life enthusiasts. The Shedd Aquarium is located in a very unique location at Lake Shore Drive, where it stands very close to two institution buildings of vast cultural significance; the Field Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago. Despite having been built in the last century, the building and its indoors are a match for any modern 21stcentury building, and the superb facilities for animals and people inside certainly back that up.
The Aquarium is named after a visionary of the twentieth century, Mr. John G. Shedd was a prominent figure of the city in his time, and wanted to give back to his city in order to thank it for all the success bestowed upon him.
Him being a huge aquatic enthusiast, he thought about how each and every major city in the world could boast of an aquarium, but Chicago lagged behind in this sense. He decided that Chicago needed to have its own aquarium, and grand one at that. The choice of location was a natural one given the already present two important buildings in the area.
In , Mr. In researching of the design of the building and make sure it had the best features of all aquariums; Mr. Walter Chute travelled many prominent aquariums in the world and studied their designs. Extraordinary minds were put to the task of making the building state-of-the-art and they certainly delivered. The design was heavily inspired by the Neptune Temple. The building was opened to public for the first time in , four years after the death of Mr.
Today, the building houses rare species of aquatic animals brought from all over the world. Shedd is not only the largest indoor aquarium in the world; it is also the smartest one due to its long-term planning. The whole building has given a modern twist from the inside, with energy saving techniques used all over the place to reduce electricity consumption. Shedd also gets a huge portion of its power consumption from solar energy, and it is always increasing.
More than half of respondents 55 percent said that ticket prices need to lowered before the aquarium can expect increased attendance. Twenty-two percent voted that an increase in the facility's size is the most pressing improvement. Fifteen percent felt that better exhibits would draw larger crowds, and a small fraction voted for "increased hours of operation. For my part, voting was a real challenge, having visited the Aquarium and experienced a total re-introduction to the word "underwhelmed.

Right now, they're robbing folks blind. That's an evening at the cinema with 3D surcharge and refreshment , or a respectable meal at someplace trendy. Premium tickets with access to special exhibits cost a lot more, but still.
The problem isn't the price alone. The problem is that the price isn't commensurate with the entertainment value. The Powerhouse is actually a really nice venue for a smallish aquarium and the New Zealand aquarium designers Marinescape NZ Unlimited did a nice job with that walk-through tunnel thing. It's not like there are tons of fish or the tanks are all that big, but the physical space is variegated enough for a sort of minute casual exploration. But it's preposterous to charge a premium rate for a fledgling operation which on one hand is still working out its kinks and on the other will never be a major aquatic spectacle.
Why not institute a Free Day like the zoo? Why not bolster attendance through other promotions — B. Why not straight up cut the ticket price in half? General Manager Tammi Brown told the PD that attendance dropoffs are common in second years of operation. She said the aquarium is right around where they intended to be, attendance wise.

Well, good for them. But if the PD poll is any indication, the aquarium could be and ought to be a much more popular, worthwhile attraction in the city. Without improvements, all this aquarium will do is sink. Archives RSS. Showing 1- 23 of Add a comment.
