Overview
Believe it or not, you can tour the tidewaters of Maryland, the Pacific coastland or a tropical rainforest without leaving Baltimore. Or go deeper and deeper through the Atlantic coral reef into the open ocean, observing numerous species of fish and the sharks that swim at the lowest depths.

Features

In addition to well-designed permanent exhibits, dolphins wave, jump and flip in regularly scheduled shows at the Marine Mammal Pavilion. Catch an underwater view from the atrium below or watch the tricks from the stands, but be warned: The bleachers marked Splash Zone really are splash zones. The National Aquarium is devoted to conservation. Put your loose change in one of the strategically placed converted parking meters to help preserve the Amazon rain forest and the Atlantic coral reef.

This aquarium is big and has lots of fish, sharks, frogs, birds, turtles, etc. The dolphin show was lots of fun. The price of admission can be a little steep, but I would definitely recommend this aquarium for those looking for fun in the Baltimore-DC area.

I visited the National Aquarium when two of my three children were still small. I thought the live exhibits were awesome, but it was hard to enjoy chasing a two and a half year old and carrying a 6 month old! Stollers are not allowed and have to be parked upon entry. This was the only aspect that I found not family freindly! But I would definately recommend it for a great family fun day...just wait until teh children are a little older!

If you're visiting the area or live in the area, the aquarium is a great place to spend an afternoon. While most aquariums are pretty similar, the national aquarium in Baltimore offers dolphin shows and has areas that make you feel like you traveled to another country.
