Behind the Scenes at the Shedd Aquarium

Who would be interested in taking a behind the scenes group tour of the Shedd Aquarium? If there is enough interest, I will arrange for it sometime in Jan/Feb when the busy holiday season is over.

I'm interested, but what would be the cost of something like that?

Sure, family thing would be fine with me - i don't think there is an age limit. I'll find that out along with the price. We could use club fund for something like that, for the paid member's admission. That's something we can discuss and vote on at the 10-25 meeting. PS we will be discussing/collecting dues at the oct 25 meeting.

This is well worth it guys, went with CMAS last time and they have some really cool stuff in the back. The shark tank especially cool when you see it from the top.

For sure, I've had a membership there for over 2 years now and I'm dieing to see behind the scenes and I like the idea of the family thing too. My kids would kill me if I went with out them.
