shedd aquarium: Does anyone know where the best/ideal place to view the event and fireworks show (especially if you're with a date)? I know the event starts at 8:30 pm and runs from Monroe Harbor to the Shedd Aquarium....I would appreciate answers from anyone that has been to the event in the past. What would be the ideal time to get there? Thanks|||One of the best spots is the area just north and west of the Shedd Aquarium, along the lakefront in Grant Park - there's a park and benches right along the lake shore, and you can see both the boats and an excellent view of the fireworks from there. If you walk east on 11th Street past Michigan Avenue, over the bridge, and then under the underpass into Grant Park, you'll be right there. But a lot of people know about the spot - you'd want to get there by about 7:30 or so to secure a good place to put a blanket.|||get a spot as close to the water as you can, sit right on the harbor. get there early. maybe 2-3 hours early if you want to be up close. bring food and a blanket, maybe even lawn chairs.|||The magazine Midwest Living has an article on this in their current issue...there are boats that will take you out on the lake to see Venetian Night.. this would be great because youre getting a great view of Venetian and getting the Best View of the beautiful skyline. go on midwestliving.com and look into it.
