Visit Rivers—big and small—and learn more about our local waters in the new At Home on the Great Lakes exhibit. Meet hundreds of amazing animals, from tiny mantella frogsto a a giant octopus, from a Grand Cayman blue iguana to Nile knifefish, and from moon jellies to sea stars.

Amazon Rising Take an exotic journey in the Amazon, home to one-third of all living things. Watch out for anacondas and piranhas, spiders, rays and a camouflaged caiman. In churning river channels, still lakes and even flooded treetops look for tetras, turtles and fruit-eating fish called tambaqui. See how the region’s animals, plants and people adapt to the water’s dramatic annual rise and fall. Abbott Oceanarium The Abbott Oceanarium immerses you in the vibrant coastal ecosystem of beluga whales, Pacific white-sided dolphins, sea otters and sea lions. You’ll also find a host of fishes and invertebrates that make their homes where freshwater flows into the ocean or where tides turn seascapes to landscapes and back again each day. Use our self-guided map to discover how animals are linked to each other, their homes and you. Polar Play Zone Kids have a place at Shedd that they can call their own—Polar Play Zone. It’s cool as ice and twice as nice! The penguins think so, too. Play! Splash! Pretend! What would you like to be? A sleek sliding penguin? A deep-sea explorer? How about both? In Polar Play Zone, you can slip into a penguin suit and try being a bird in the Icy South play area. From there, head to the Icy North to explore the belugas’ Arctic waters in a kid-sized submarine. Don’t forget to shake hands—or is it arms?—with colorful sea stars in the touch pools. In Polar Play Zone, you’ll learn about polar opposites—big and small, fast and slow, shallow and deep, even north and south—while you play.

Please note: The recommended age for The York Dungeon is 10 years and above, however it is up to the discretion of the accompanying adult. Many children enter The York Dungeon and enjoy the experience, but please be aware it does get very dark inside the building and there are lots of loud noises. FEAR IS A FUNNY THING... The York Dungeon is a 75-minute journey into more than 2000 years of York's horrible history. The Dungeon brings together an amazing cast of theatrical actors, special effects, stages and scenes in a truly unique and exciting walkthrough experience that you see, hear, touch, smell and feel. It’s hilarious fun and it’s sometimes a bit scary. You will laugh and scream, you will love it. We do too and here is why: • The York Dungeon is now Bolder and Better than ever before • 12 laugh-out-loud shows • Laughs, screams and cutting-edge storytelling We're the black comedy of attractions; dark, atmospheric and very very funny. The more information tab needs to be updated to show the below shows – there are now 12 shows and not 11 as stated: (more info if required on York Dungeon website) • Cliffords Tower Very nasty things happen here... • Plague Spots, boils, pus... yuk! The Doctor's assistant will see you now. • Guy Fawkes Remember, remember, this will bring the house down. • Ghost of York You will never drink alone in the Golden Fleece. • Lost Roman Legion Labyrinth Get lost in the disorientating, claustrophobic mirror maze. • Eric Bloodaxe You know how some people just suit their name... • The Torturer It’s back-breaking work. Did I hit a nerve? • The Judge Frantically funny. Thief? Villain? Rogue? Clear conscience? • Execution See how they roll at Mickelgate Bar. • Dick Turpin Some faces just stop traffic. Expect holdups ahead. • Witches A warm welcome awaits. Cackle as they crackle.

La Mezquita de El Cristo de la Luz, la antigua Mezquita Bib-al-Mardum, o Mezquita de Valmardón, la vida de este edificio como mezquita finalizó en 1186, auténtico reflejo de la arquitectura califal. El tour continúa con la visita al interior de la Catedral. Su arquitectura muestra todas las etapas del gótico español y su interior alberga un gran número de obras de arte (vidrieras, el coro, el altar mayor, diversas capillas, cuadros de El Greco, etc). Continuamos con la Iglesia de Santo Tomé, que es el hogar de la obra maestra de El Greco, El entierro del Señor de Orgaz. A continuación visitaremos la Sinagoga de Santa María la Blanca. Finalizaremos nuestro recorrido por Toledo asistiendo a una demostración de la milenaria técnica del Damasquinado (incrustación de metales preciosos en piezas de acero) y realizando una visita panorámica de Toledo, disfrutando de sus inolvidables vistas desde el Mirador. Después de pasar la mañana en Toledo, sobre las 14:30 emprenderemos camino a Madrid, haciendo parada en Bargas, donde se ubica la Finca Loranque, donde visitaremos sus bodegas y al finalizar la visita tendremos la posibilidad de catar algunos de sus vinos.
