Shedd Aquarium in Chicago is one of the Top Attractions in Chicago and one of the 100 Best Things To Do in Chicago with Kids Before They Grow Up. But, it's so vast that the Shedd is more than most little kids can handle in a single day. At the Shedd Aquarium, we think it's best to do the most educational stuff first and play at the end—you'll have time for everything if you arrive close to the 9 a.m. opening time and move at a moderate pace throughout the day. We suggest bringing a snack for a mid-morning break and planning some slow-down time to see the bigger tanks, especially if you have smaller children.

From ice skating to bowling to museums, there are plenty of ways to celebrate a winter birthday.
