Is it true that this tank was added in 2009 when the Oceanarium complex was closed for 5 months in order to undergo its $50 million renovation? Where is this exhibit located? Is it near the sea otters? The year that Shedd Aquarium shut down its Oceanarium for the major overhaul (resulting in beluga whales, dolphins, etc, being transferred elsewhere) there was still an annual attendance of 2 million people. When the exhibit area re-opened there was a specific Friday that had almost 26,000 people who visited the aquarium on that single day. Holy smokes!
