I love turtles, so I loved this place. All kinds, big and small! This place is neat even though it is a little expensive. It's nicely done so you stay organized and on route and see everything. I was a bit disappointed with seeing the dolphins...they did about a 10 minute show. We went on a Tuesday and it was...

Owner description:
Considered one of the world’s best aquariums, the National Aquarium's mission is to inspire conservation of the world's aquatic treasures. The National Aquarium, Baltimore features three pavilions of exciting attractions and a living collection including more than 16,000 animals from more than 660 species of fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles and marine mammals. Daily dolphin shows, a tropical rain forest with sloths and piranhas, a 4-D Immersion Theater and an eerie shark walk are among the many highlights. We also offer exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences including sleepovers and special tours. The aquarium also hosts a broad range of conservation and research projects to protect the world's oceans.

I liked how the aquarium had different sections and even has a dolphin show ... though it was short it was very good! The new addition of jelly fish was fantastic and the 4D cinema experience is always a hit! ... Going to the rainforest was also fun having birds flying around making noises.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. As of early May, we changed our dolphin experience to allow our guests more flexibility and intimacy with our dolphins and trainers. You are correct in that what you experienced was not a traditional dolphin show! We responded to visitor feedback by launching Dolphin Discovery, an experience that allows us to open our dolphin...

Last time we went to Baltimore we missed out on the aquarium. This time we were prepared. I would suggest purchasing the tickets online and going early. You can pick up the tickets at the aquarium at a kiosk, super fast.
The best days would be during the week. We went on a Wednesday and encountered kids on field trips...

We enjoyed the aquarium and the staff were informative. There was a lot of visitors and as a result we had some problems getting as close to certain attractions as we would have liked.

It is a walking tour so for little legs they may get tired. But it was great to see all they had and it flowed well around the exhibits.

Go early to avoid crowds. It is fantastic. If you've been to the Monterey Bay, Georgia or Texas State aquariums you will love this one as well.

I'm not a huge aquarium fan, but the kids liked it! It's a great addition to a weekend of adventures in Baltimore. Not sure I would plan a whole day around it and definitely try to find a discount! We just went for a couple hours to see the sharks/turtle/stingray tank, the dolphins and the jellyfish. We didn't do the...
