by kevlog , Apr 13 '07
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.

Pros: Even if you don't think you have time, make time to see this in Baltimore.
Cons: Can sell out in peak periods.

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...

The Baltimore Aquarium is beautiful, but expect some difficulty

Pros: Wonderful place to visit, but I wouldn't want to always go there

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.

Pros: One of the best-designed aquariums out there
Cons: The price and the crowds reflect that

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...
