Chicago Tribune:
Visitors now can touch one of the Shedd Aquarium's prized beluga whales, but it comes with a price: $200.
"Seasickness is mostly mind over matter," said Capt. Joe, adding that he used to get sick as a boy when he went on fishing trips with his father and uncles. "You grow out of it."

this is disgusting......a whale really wants to spend its time in a pool with people approaching it and swimming with it........these people haven't a clue about animals.
this is supposed to be cute??????.......someone should be protesting this place and getting it closed.......why would a whale want to have constant HUMANS to deal with, why would a whale want to be in a pool versus THE OCEAN..........HELLO, HUMANS are NOT the only beings on this planet.......everything does NOT revolve around us and every being was NOT put here for our use...........
what goes around comes around........some way, some how
Why don't they just run the Shedd like a peep show?
Pay to get in the door
Pay for the special exhibits
Pay to see each individual regular exhibit
Just slide in your debit / credit card and the screen comes down off of the window for a few minutes.
Then your kid has to use the loo, guess what? Pay toilets of course.
The contract for installing this equipment will of course be awarded to some politically connected hack / crony.
This town is done for.
