National Aquarium
National Aquarium One of Baltimore’s leading attractions, the Aquarium opened in 1981 and houses 16,500 animals on 4 different levels. The main gallery overlooks a pool of sharks, sting rays and a sea turtle. Up the spiral stairs you will find the rainforest exhibit, with several animals found in such environments as the Amazon. The exit spirals down the back of the main gallery surrounded by an enormous fish tank filled with a variety of fish and sharks. Zagat Survey rates the Aquarium as “one of the best travel destinations in the country for families”, making it a great cultural, educational and recreational experience for everyone.
