With a crystal blue backdrop and a river running through its veins, Chicago is our aquatic queen. The Shedd Aquarium is our favorite destination in Chicago for sea otters, penguins and sea all things aquatic. We spoke with Senior Director of Marketing LaToyia Ledbetter about the century worth of Shedd history, its famous lakefront architecture, and all of the adorable creatures that call Shedd home. We chat about all the upcoming summer events including Jazzin’ at the Shedd, Shedd House Party, Ritmo Del Mar, Pride Night and more! And learn about all the work they do behind-the-scenes to preserve and protect the world’s aquatic environment through education, research, and a little bit of human empathy. We end with rapidfire, during which LaToyia shares her favorite ocean and which summer event she’s most looking forward to!
