Tickets now are timed entry. Have them to be scanned either on your phone or printed out. They will check your purse or bag before you go in but, not an ID. If you mean free days then when you get the tickets online you will be ask if you are from Illinois/ Chicago before checkout online. When you get to the Shedd and they scan the tickets I doubt they would check an ID.

Wheelchairs are available. No scooters.

yes

If you are a chase private client that will get you a discount.

There really isn't parking close to the Shed, but there is a drop off in front.

No universal answer to this question as it depends on the interests and attention span of the people attending. My 13 and 15 year olds love the Wild Reef, and so do I. This exhibit is accessible via an elevator just before the Amazon wing. Standing in front of the literal wall of glass watching the sharks and schools of fish swim before you is hard to beat. My favorite fish is in this area - the Mandarin Dragonet. It's small but gorgeous. Agree with the first post that the underground viewing of the beluga and the dolphins is also a do not miss. If there will be little ones then plan on walking by pretty much every area, but definitely plan to sit near the front for the live show.

$40/adult and $30/child with additional fees for certain activities. If you are a resident of Illinois and have a Link card (food stamps) the ticket price is reduced to $3/person. They also have “free” days monthly so be sure to check the website before your visit.
