Pros: Great shark display area, good dolphin show, lots of stuff Cons: Dated, shabby exhibits, poor traffic flow, unhelpful staff
I love, love, love, aquariums. Definitely obsessed with them. The primary reason hubby and I added a couple of days in Baltimore to our East Coast trip was to visit the National Aquarium in Baltimore. As it turned out, we loved Baltimore, but I ...
Pros: Rainforest exhibit was fun. Dolphin show area very clean with enthusiastic trainers. Cons: Dry, tasteless pizza in cafeteria. Some employees seemed 'semi-enthused'to be there.
I am a big fan of aquariums. How can you not be amazed by the sheer variety of piscine life on display at most of them? From graceful rays to hammerhead sharks to colorful anemones, it can be pretty breathtaking. I was in Baltimore for a ...
Pros: Even if you don't think you have time, make time to see this in Baltimore. Cons: Can sell out in peak periods.
If you are going to Baltimore, then be sure to pencil in some time for the Baltimore National Aquarium. This is the neatest aquarium I’ve ever seen, and I’ve traveled a lot. If you have 2 to 3 hours to spare (and even if you don’t), then this is...
Pros: monstrous amount of marine life and lots of marine life Cons: may wait in a line, kind of pricey
Almost 19 years ago, on a typical August day - my mother, my aunt, my brother, my sister and I set out for downtown Baltimore. It was hot, humid, muggy, hazy, oppressive and we knew that we would likely be standing in a long line for over 4 hours but...
Pros: Breakfast with the Dolphins is a great experience for scouts Cons: aquarium itself has some issues
Way back when, back when my eldest daughter was first born, I remember talking to her when we had a rare moment to ourselves recuperating from her birth in the hospital. I talked to her about all of the wonderful things we were going to do together as ...
Pros: wonderful undersea world Cons: didn't find any
National Aquarium in Baltimore is a great place to visit. I live in Baltimore Area not very long time only a little more than one year, but for this one year I visited National Aquarium five times and every time...
Pros: Wonderful place to visit, but I wouldn't want to always go there Cons: Very expensive, but worth it for older kids. Hard for strollers /wheelchairs /asthma.
The Baltimore Aquarium is a beautiful place to visit: it has a great water show, all sorts of sea creatures, a ramp level which makes you feel like part of the ocean... but it can be a little difficult to navigate.
Wow, having grown up in Maryland, I have had the pleasure of venturing off to the National Aquarium on many, many occaisions. I have yet to be disappointed.
In recent years, the aquarium has changed their entrance policy a bit-- it...
Pros: One of the best-designed aquariums out there Cons: The price and the crowds reflect that
We had been discussing options for a good friend's 23rd birthday celebration for some time, with clubs and restaurants topping our list. Needless to say, my reaction was a little bit, uh, dubious, when she expressed an interest in spending her birthday...
Pros: Fun & Educational, in the middle of a great tourist area. Cons: Crowded and a little pricey ($15,$8.50 for age 3-11)

The Ring tanks house an Atlantic coral reef exhibit and a Shark exhibit. They...
Pros: Highly educational, wonderful up-close views, large variety of fish and animals. Cons: May have a long admission line.
Imagine standing three feet below a lemon shark. You look up at the jaws and can't help gasping in awe at the magnificent teeth. Movies and television documentaries never prepared you for this.
Pros: Wonderful exhibits, Great set-up of entire place, One-of-a-kind sting-ray pool Cons: Dolphin show was the biggest disappointment -- all talk and little action
To begin with, let me tell you that this is one fantastic aquarium. I've been to several in my lifetime, including the one in Chicago, which I've heard is the largest in the world. But the exhibits in Chicago are nothing compared with the ones here in...
Pros: beautiful exhibits, helpful volunteers, lots of educational information, easy to navigate Cons: crowded, lots of children on field trips (can be rowdy), repetitive dolphin show
The first time I visited NAIB was when I was in high school ~1992, not knowing that after graduating from college, I ended up living in the Baltimore area. I often go and visit the aquarium after my move that I've decided to become a member.
