The National aquarium is absolutely amazing. We decided to visit the day after Christmas, and it was such an amazing experience learning about sea life. The aquarium is so beautiful and has a great path to follow that guides you to the different sections. There weren’t any shows scheduled due to the pandemic. We did have to wear our mask, and they made sure to limit the amount of guests by monitoring how many people checked in. The ticket service allowed only a certain amount of purchases during a certain amount of time so that there weren’t any more guests than the allotted capacity to keep us safely distanced.

Loved this aquarium! It's fairly large so there's a lot to see. Try to catch a show with the dolphins if you can, it's a nice treat. Little pricey but we'll worth it - kids under 3 are free.

Fantastic aquarium. One of the best in the country. Expect about 2-3 hours to see everything. Make sure to note the dolphin shows and work your visit around that.

$96 for two adults and a kid, with military discount. Fun, though, and my kids loved it

Very nice place to visit even if you are an adult with no children. I myself am not a fan of aquariums but this one is very nice. Personally I loved shark and jelly fishes division! The shark tank was huge and dark and was really creepy when you walk through it which was very fun. Unfortunately I couldn’t take pictures because of the lighting's. The jelly fishes part was also magnificent. They even had a tank where you can gently touch the harmless types. They also have places that play videos for children and also don’t miss out on dolphins show. Dolphins are very well trained and the view of the dolphin discovery section is very nice. Also I recommend if you had some extra time in your day check out the Barns and Noble bookstore next to the aquarium. The building is an old factory which is very nice to visit.

I love this place. It provides an amazing experience for people of all ages. There is so much to see and explore. There is an area where you can touch some sea creatures. The dolphin show is fun. The aquarium has discounted admission on certain days including a day where admission is $1 only. Great way to build a love for nature, science, and exploration.

A great experience!! My kids are 8 and 6 and my family had a wonderful time here. It is easy to walk through and the staff are knowledgeable and accommodating. The dolphin experience was so much fun. Dont miss it! Had to move quickly through the rain forest to make the 4D movie but it was really fun.

The place is ok I feel like tha Camden Aquarium is better. Years ago I went to Baltimore to see the dolphins shows but they no longer have the show but a dirty pool with 2 dolphins, I think it might had to be with the animal cruelty or something not sure but it used to be better when you saw the show with the dolphins. The best part of the aquarium was touching the jellyfish

I’ve visited major aquaria on 3 continents, & this one is in the top 5! Excellent displays of the creatures of the oceans, rivers, lakes, & wetlands of North & South America (including the long, wet Amazon-not-com), southeast Asia, & Australia. There are porpoise shows, other marine mammals, assorted reptiles, amphibians, birds, fishes, jellyfishes... And a huge reef aquarium that one may walk above. I stay for hours, but have always left when out of energy but still much more to see. Admission is pricey, so if you plan to visit more than once in a year, opt for a membership. Like most zoo & aquarium gift shops, the NA’s has the tacky—but, surprisingly, a lot of nice items, so worth a visit. The restaurant fare is good (3-stars), but at the Harbor you are surrounded by numerous excellent choices. No good parking deals, bit members do get local parking discounts. Absolutely worth a visit—a long visit, or several visits, or several long visits!

Fantastic aquarium! Very organized, clean, and family friendly! An indoor dolphin show is offered and is very good. There is a cafe inside but it is very expensive. The only reason why I gave this aquarium 4 stars is because of the fact that, if you plan on walking to it, it's not safe for anyone. I had walked through it with my family and passed many provocative stores and businesses. After walking through it, we found out that we had walked through the red light district. Not safe!
