Drove from Pennsylvania to visit Baltimore for the weekend and specifically see the Aquarium. Disliked: WAY TOO BUSY to enjoy. Timed tickets not honored, so seemed like way too many people at once and very hard to enjoy exhibits as felt "pressured" to move along quickly so that others could get a glimpse too. I really don't remember all that much that I saw...not too memorable really as nothing stood out to me that was particularly unique or interesting, except for the part of the Aquarium where you walk down ramps and can see the larger tanks of sharks, rays, etc....but even this wasn't that exciting. Also, Staff didn't seem to enjoy themselves very much. Just didn't get a great feel during visit.I was recently at the Camden Aquarium in New Jersey and had more memorable experience there and enjoyed the exhibits a lot more, including the fish varieties, etc.If I visit the Baltimore Aquarium again, I definitely will visit during the week during School, when hopefully won't be as busy.
Very disorganized, little guidance, over priced for the quality of the experience you receive. I guess I just set my expectations too high.
Aquarium is located in absolute city center at the waterfront. I have been there twice, it was always unfortunately crowded with massess of people, mostly small kids were very loud and hitting glasses what stressed the fish a lot. On the other side so huge variety of creatures living underwater was amazing to see and understand. I especially liked seeing jellyfish of different colors. What I was a little dissapointed was the dolphin show which was a little dull in my opinion.
Major admission price made it tough to see high value especially as the dolphin show is no longer operating. That said, it is a nice place to spend a few hours, helpful people along the way pointing out facts, but it's hard to swallow the admission price. Go on a rainy day!
Thank you for this great feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed the sturgeons, tiger sharks, and birds. Thank you again for taking the time to write a review and we look forward to your next visit to see us!
Thank you for sharing this positive feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful morning with us! We appreciate your compliment to our staff members and facility maintenance crew. This kind of information is great for us to hear! We hope that you had a terrific visit to Baltimore and that you'll stop by to see us again when you are next in town.
This is a an excellent aquarium. If you have a couple of hours, you should not miss this place. You start at the top and slowly walk down while seeing all the fish. Definitely give this place a try.
我决定带全家来国家水族馆玩。就所有水族馆来看这里是我来过的比较不错之一了。我也去过新奥尔良以及亚特兰大的水族馆,貌似这里是最大的。我们很喜欢各种展览以及各种各样的鱼。工作人员马马虎虎,有些很友善,热心帮忙,其他的问个问题就爱答不理的,就站在那里无所事事。海豚表演很好玩,就是时间太短,只有一刻钟。热带雨林很凉爽,到处都有鸟儿飞来飞去。我有一点不明白,为什么价格那么贵!貌似所有展览都有人赞助,列出了一大堆赞助商的名单,可是每个成人依旧要180元的门票!也许经营这个地方很花钱吧!
Went on a rainy Saturday, very crowded. Great exhibits, clean and employees are very helpful and informative.
The reason you visit is to view the fish. However this past Saturday there was no way to see much of any fish or even feel safe. Overselling tickets for timed admission caused the crush of the crowd put the fear in me, my wife and young daughter. $35 ticket price made me feel cheated by a carnival barker on the midway for little amusement at too high a price.I like this aquarium but will not visit again until they reduce their entrance quotas to allow viewing exhibits with less than 4-deep in dark passageways built for not many more to pass. Think nightclub fires in foreign lands with no escape because the exit became jammed.
