    I have to say that it was an amazing experience. The variety of marine life on display is stunning, and each exhibit is well-designed and executed. I found myself completely immersed in each exhibit, feeling like I was underwater alongside all the creatures. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to answer any questions I had about the exhibits, and providing insight into the behavior and habits of the animals. In addition, the aquarium is very educational, and I learned so much about the marine environment and the importance of conservation efforts. The interactive exhibits and activities were engaging and made learning fun. Overall, the Baltimore Aquarium is an exceptional destination that I would highly recommend to anyone. It is an excellent option for both families and individuals interested in marine life, and I can't wait to visit again soon. The combination of aquatic delights, strong educational programming, and friendly staff earned this aquarium a well-deserved five-star rating in my book!

    One of the best aquariums I've been to. The layout is very well put together and makes for a smooth transition to each exhibit. The live shows are well worth the time and every one was entertained at all ages. Fish and other marine life looked healthy and well cared for. The interactions with trainers showed how much they cared about the animals by their enthusiasm and loved their job. I highly recommend a visit to this aquarium. It is worth the admission.

    The aquarium in Baltimore is really amazing and very family friendly. I recommend buying tickets in advance. They have a ton of exhibits and displays to look at, as well as a fun interactive touch pool for the kids. They also have a fair amount of 4D movies to select from and a range of times, depending on what movie you select. The behind the scenes shark tour is amazing. It requires a reservation and a separate ticket purchase. But for me, the real attraction is the dolphin training session it is truly special. The training session is free, and you have to try and catch the training at certain times. The staff will have a better idea of that when you arrive. It's not an actual show, it's just when the trainers come to the dolphin tank and practice with them. It is amazing what the dolphins are capable of and how much fun they have showing off for you. There is plenty of seating, so there is no need to stress about that. There are parking garages nearby for your visit and there is street parking but that can be harder to come by. No matter what you decide to do during your visit or when you go, you won't be disappointed.

    Totally recommend to come here with family, friends, etc! When you enter the aquarium, you have the option to take a photo and they’ll print out the image for you afterwards. The only downside is that there’s a lot of people and you have to sometimes wait to get close up in order to see the fishes, but otherwise, it’s a gorgeous aquarium to visit. Personal favorite were the jellyfishes. There are multiple floors to the aquarium and it’s kept really cleaned. Endless areas to see.

    The food wasn't bad. The BBQ pizza didn't have enough meat on it, if any! But my nephew and husband loved the place. 😊 The parking is around the corner. The dolphin show is no longer a thing, you can just watch the trainers feed and play with them.

    Great place!! And the membership is great too, especially for little kids, you can go multiple times, so you don't feel like you have to hit every exhibit each time

    An exceptional--and exceptionally large--aquarium. Top Notch! You won't be disappointed. I do recommend that you dress your children in high-visibility clothing and light-up shoes. There are many dark places in the aquarium, and little ones can easily get lost in some of the dark, crowded corridors.

    The positive: staff is knowledgeable and friendly and the facility is clean and I can see that kids have a great time. The negative: It's past its prime...outdated and just feels tired. I'd definitely give it another visit if/when they decide to renew the place but there are other aquariums I'd much rather visit.

    This was my 1st time visiting an aquarium, so I have nothing to compare with. There was a lot to love, including the sheer size and beauty of the bldg and the various exhibits. Info given by staff was also accurate (as a wildlife ecologist, with some experience in marine bio, and a diver). Many visitors were in attendance and clearly loving it. Most of what I saw I really liked. But I have one big issue : They have dolphins - I did not even visit that exhibit because CETACEANS DO NOT BELONG IN CAPTIVITY !!! This is not an extreme or fringe view - it is a fact, supported by abundant scientific evidence. Hence the growing number of jurisdictions (such as Canada) outlawing the practice. I sincerely hope that when these individuals die, they will not be replaced. We can do better and strive for humane zoological exhibits.

    I thought it was amazing. I had a great experience. The only thing that would have made it better is if my Children were there.

    It was great I went there when I was younger I don't remember much but it was a huge place

    Had fun with the kids but it’s annoying waiting for people to look at things for over 5 minutes like gtf on

    Great exhibits and interactive displays. They have a rainforest area with birds and other animals, Australia area, dolphins , jellyfish and of course many areas of different ocean exhibits. Some of the large ones you can walk around and view from different levels. We enjoyed our trip very much! Be prepared to spend several hour here minimum.

    We had a wonderful time. The dolphins didn't have a show that day so we only got to see training. a nice pause for the adults. I wouldn't recommend the food cafe in the dolphin section. That section closes earlier, so they do stop early making items early. Things to note: You won't be able to bring a stroller so remember a sling for the smaller ones. Memberships are great and pay for itself going twice in the year span.

    Gets really crowded on weekends! It’s a nice aquarium and they have a decent amount of exhibits. Little pricey but willing to pay to support it :)
