Pros: A way to spend time, some nice exhibits, the tropical forest
Cons: Parking is attrocious, prices are unjustifiable, exhibits are stale unchanged
Summary: As a native Baltimorean who has visited the Aquarium a number of times, I have to say that my most recent visit was by far the most disappointing. Let's start with parking, if, that is, you can find any, which you can't because there is no parking ...

Cons: aquarium itself has some issues
Summary: 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: 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.
Summary: 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: dollar specials, dolphin show
Cons: parking not on site
Summary: The National Aquarium in Baltimore is a great place for the family. One would think what would babies like here, but it is a great place for toddlers and older children. The dolphin show is great, but I am sure there are people that have seen better. ...

Pros: neat sights, beautiful views
Cons: pricey, crowded, rushed for time, no strollers aloud
Summary: Well, all in all, the Inner Harbor of Baltimore is just a very picturesque area. The aquarium is the area's hot spot, and there are thousands of tourists daily coming to visit the area. Expect a short wait to get in on busier days, and keep in mind that ...

Pros: Widest possible variety of sea life, new attractions annually
Cons: The most expensive fish you never ate.
Summary: Do you find marine life fascinating? Do you find the idiosyncratic way that different animals adapt to the harsh realities of sea life endlessly fascinating? Is it too cold to go snorkeling? Are you the type of person who spends endless hours at the...

Pros: Location of Aquarium
Cons: price seems a bit steep
Summary: I took my seven year old son to the National Aquarium in Baltimore this summer. We sidetracked en route from Philadelphia to Detroit and it was worth the extra hours of driving time. I had been there years before and was pleasantly surprised to see all...

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

Cons: crowded, lots of children on field trips (can be rowdy), repetitive dolphin show

Pros: Great place to go
Cons: Nothing I can think of...
Summary: I went to visit this place while in Baltimore. It was a cloudy and somewhat rainy day, so we decided to head indoors. This was a wonderful Aquarium!! I live in NY, so you know we have that giant Aquarium back home, but this was nicer. It wasn't as large...
