National Aquarium

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 - also known as National Aquarium in Baltimore and formerly known as Baltimore Aquarium - is a non-profit public aquarium located at 501 East Pratt Street on Pier 3 in the Inner Harbor area of downtown Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States. Constructed during a period of urban renewal in Baltimore, the aquarium opened on August 8, 1981. The aquarium has an annual attendance of 1.5 million visitors and is the largest tourism attraction in the State of Maryland. The aquarium holds more than 2,200,000 US gallons (8,300,000 l) of water, and has more than 17,000 specimens representing over 750 species.[1][3] The National Aquarium's mission is to inspire conservation of the world's aquatic treasures. The aquarium's stated vision is to confront pressing issues facing global aquatic habitats through pioneering science, conservation, and educational programming

It’s always a pleasure to visit this top spot. It’s going to be very busy on winter weekends, so get yourself prepared. Our favorite part is the large jellyfish exhibition. Confirmed parking can be parked in a nearby garage.

Good choice, recommend this, Baltimore City is worth going to

There are many kinds of things to watch at the National Aquarium. My daughter and I work with the National Aquarium Conservation Organization. My only problem is that walking is a bit difficult when it is crowded (most of the time). Inter-regional passageways are narrow and can be crowded, and if you want to go, try to pass by the off-duty hours to make your visit more comfortable.

The experience was fantastic. The aquarium on each floor was great! You can see and learn a lot of aquatic creatures. Definitely suitable for families to come - but before you come in you have to see if your stroller can enter. Anyway, to see the rainforest on the top floor - it was a really unique experience - there were some tiny monkeys on the tree.
