A small but well-done aquarium inside Grapevine Mills: a 360-degree underwater tunnel with sharks and sea turtles gliding overhead, a touch pool with starfish, and crawl-through tunnels for little kids — two hours is just right.

💡 Tips
Admission is about $25–30/person, cheaper with a timed ticket online, and there's a combo ticket with LEGOLAND next door, check the website. Weekend afternoons are the most crowded. Easy to eat in the mall afterward; it's the northwest suburbs' rainy-day and heat-wave package.
