  • Very disappointing and over priced. One attraction basically, a 4D movie that I'm sure is an upcharge and dolphins swimming in an empty tank. Will not return. What has happened to Inner Harbor?

  • We wore our masks. Many people did not. The staff was great. It was a pretty slow day, it seemed. We had a fabulous time. We arrived at 12:45 and left at 4:45. We had a six and seven year old with us. I think we could have used an additional two hours to see *every single* exhibit available. (One of our kids wanted to skip several tanks to get to things she wanted to see.) It was absolutely worth the trip. The staff were really knowledgeable and kind.
  • Such a beautiful experience to see life underwater. The best part is dolphin area and jellyfish section. It’s mesmerizing to see hundreds of different species under one roof. There are multiple levels of this aquarium, each with its own greatness. Love the entire experience. Best for kids! it’s great to see your little ones smile.
