National Aquarium aka: Baltimore Aquarium

You can actually dive the aquarium (well, the coral reef tank and the ray tray). As a certified diver, you can take a one-day course and afterwards get in with the fishes! The ray tray was really cool and the big turtle there is almost too friendly!

I have a membership and enjoy going all the time. The dolphin show just got revamped and the Australia exhibit is amazing.

I visit here about once a year because I love it. I’m twenty-two and I never tire of seeing the fish. I always love seeing the sting rays and the shark room, and the rainforest is always a treat. It doesn’t take extremely long to do so if you visit Baltimore, you should check it out.

The aquarium is phenomenal, but your time is best spent exploring the facilities. Unless your kids threaten never to forgive you, skip the dolphin show.

I was seven or eight. I haven’t been back since. All I remember is the sharks. I love sharks. I would like to go there again so I can remember more than the sharks, but that will have to be the next time I am in Baltimore.
