Polar Play Zone at Shedd Aquarium

1200 S. Lake Shore Dr., Chicago, IL 60605

Zoos

In the Polar Play Zone, kids can slip into a penguin suit and try being a bird in the Icy South play area. From there, head to the Icy North to explore the belugas’ Arctic waters in a kid-sized submarine. Don’t forget to shake hands—or is it arms—with colorful sea stars in the touch pools.
