Event Details

Get ready to meet some SHARKS—virtually!  Join us and experience a Zoom visit with the sharks that call Chicago's Shedd Aquarium home, broadcast on the big screen at the Montvale Library.  

Join the ocean's most dynamic and misunderstood predators — sharks — and other marine predators for brunch on this virtual feeding tour.  Start with a close-up view of the Wild Reef exhibit, which brings you to a Philippine coral reef. Then venture behind the scenes to the animal care area to witness mealtime. During this 40-minute virtual tour, you’ll learn how our aquarists prepare meals of restaurant-quality seafood.  Discover how each shark and ray species in Wild Reef has been trained to respond to an aquarist’s signal for mealtime.  You will also discover what it takes to feed and care for these animals and how that work supports these species in the wild.

Registration is REQUIRED and space is limited.  Masks are required for anyone ages 5+.
