Directions Regarding the Shedd Aquarium:

ADDRESS
John G. Shedd Aquarium
1200 S. Lake Shore Drive . Chicago, IL 60605


HOW TO GET IN:
Because the aquarium is closed after 5:00 p.m. on the 29th, you will 
need to go around the building to the north Education Entrance.  As 
you look at the main entrance -- big stairs, big columns, not man 
with fish fountain -- take the little path that continues around the 
building to your left.  There is a glass door; that's the entrance. 
I will leave a sign on the door with what to do if you arrive early 
or late.  (Essentially, knock or call my cell phone if you have a 
phone.)

ELECTRONIC PRESENTATION NOTE:
I'll go ahead and set up an overhead in the room.  If you have 
documents you'd like to project, you can.  If you e-mail me ahead of 
time, we can also hook up a laptop to show any docs on the Internet, 
to show electronic docs you send (provided I have the software), or 
to hook up your laptop.

PARKING:
As you may know, parking on Museum Campus has changed a bit since 
construction has started on Soldier Field.  Your best bet if you have 
to drive is to bring quarters and park at the meters along Solidarity 
Drive (the road that goes through Museum Campus -- past Field, Shedd 
and Adler). They should be fairly open by 6.  Every quarter gets you 
30 minutes.  Police do ticket on a very frequent basis, so be sure to 
feed the meter.

CABS:  A cab from the loop will run you about $6-12 dollars. 
Example: State and Jackson, $6.

CTA:
The #146 and the #12 CTA buses are the most frequent to drive through 
Campus.  They both run late, though the #12 is generally more 
frequent past 6:30.

#146 is easy to access from most El lines in the loop as it runs 
along State Street.  Note that if you're coming from north of the 
river, it runs along Michigan.  Easy connections:  Jackson on the Red 
line; Library/State-VanBuren on the Brown, Purple and Orange lines. 
Note:  Some of the south-bound #146 stop at Harrison and do not 
continue all the way to the museums.  Every other bus should go to 
Museum Campus/Adler Planetarium.

#12 runs east/west on Roosevelt to/from Museum Campus.  There is an 
El connection at the Roosevelt stop on the Red, Orange and Green 
lines.

  FOOD:  If there is interest, we can order food in.  Or feel free to 
bring food along.

Don't hesitate to call or e-mail (see contact information below) if 
you have any questions!
