I suppose if I had never been to an aquarium I wouldn't have been so disappointed. There is no comparison between the aquariums in New Orleans before the hurricane or to the aquarium in Chattanooga. It was very crowed, hot and noisy. The exterior of the Aquarium was impressive, but not the displays. It certainly wasn't worth the 11 hour ...

Impressive!
By mollyspinkdog, 04/09/09
The National Aquarium in Baltimore is an exceptional aquarium!! The immersion exhibits like the rainforest and austrailia are amazing like your really there and while it may seem that there is very few animals when you stop and look around you realize that you are surrounded by amazing animals like slothes and kookaburras that you may not have ...

Great Family Outing
By hrozelle78, 03/29/09
My family and I really enjoyed the aquarium. We purchased our tickets ahead of time, so we didn't have to wait to get in. We arrived at 10:45 AM, so we were able to find parking less than a block away (at a price of $8./HR)- it wasn't a pkg garage, but one of those outdoor, smaller lots. We have a 13 month old son, and were disappointed ...

Dolphin show was disappointing
By T.P, 03/16/09
We took our 2 1/2 year old grandson and he was excited about seeing the dolphin show. We saw about 5 min's of the dolphins preforming tricks and abut 15 min's of watching the big tv screen about how dolphins are trained. Our grandson became antsy because he was too young to really understand the tv screen. It was a waste of money.
The ...

Loved It
By a Yahoo! Local User, 11/01/08
The Baltimore Aquarium has terrific exhibits and a huge variety of aquatic life on display. You'd spend half as much money on a movie and not see anything live, so the price seems reasonable by that standard. We spent about 3 hours total in the building, and that was without seeing any of the add-on shows. Highly recommended.

Ride the Ducks instead
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/03/08
Overpriced and the Frog and Australian "special exhibits" were small in scope and not particularly SPECIAL. The so called Dolphin show was really a disappointment - why hold back animals whose natural instinct is to show off? We've tried this aquarium on numerous occasions - especially with out-of-town guests and have always been ...
If you go on a weekend, buy your ticket AHEAD of time online. Make sure you book any of the shows too, otherwise they will be sold out when you get to the ticket booth. It was severly crowded and fellow ticket holders were inconsiderate of others...i.e. standing in the middle of walkways, escalators, ramps, windows, etc. As for the aquarium, one time visiting is enough. It was...ok. I wasn't too impressed, especially for the price.
