Aquatic shows featuring marine mammals, behavioral presentations, and "animal chats" take place daily. Overlooking the majestic Lake Michigan shoreline, the Abbott Oceanarium provides an idyllic setting for interactive aquatic science learning. The Abbott Oceanarium is home to some of the ocean’s most charismatic animals: beluga whales, Pacific white-sided dolphins, California sea lions, penguins and other marine mammals and aquatic species. "The Abbott Oceanarium is a testament to our longstanding shared commitment to strengthening the vitality of Chicago, and to safeguarding the environment." "Abbott is proud to support the Shedd Aquarium, and to have our name associated with one of the city’s leading cultural and educational institutions, " said John B. "Renaming our beautiful Oceanarium exhibit to include Abbott’s name is an appropriate reflection of Abbott’s contributions to help advance the important leadership role Shedd Aquarium plays in conservation, education, and research." "Shedd Aquarium is extremely pleased and grateful to receive the support of Abbott to further strengthen Shedd’s civic and community efforts, " said Shedd President and CEO, Ted Beattie. Abbott’s support will help advance the Shedd’s ongoing mission to connect people to the living world, inspiring them to make a difference for the people of Chicago and beyond. The renaming is in recognition of the significant support provided for the Shedd Aquarium by Abbott, the global health care company based in north suburban Chicago, and its philanthropic foundation the Abbott Fund. Shedd Aquarium is pleased to announce that its world-class marine mammal pavilion now bears a new name: the Abbott Oceanarium.
