Baltimore Aquarium
The National Aquarium in Baltimore is a must-see for any visitor to the city. Opened in 1981, this world-famous aquarium attracts over 1.6 million visitors per year with its convenient Inner Harbor location. Explore the underwater world in a few short hours by visiting 16,500 creatures in naturalistic habitats including puffins, sea turtles, stingrays, bullfrogs, seahorses, sharks, sloths, phytoplankton, monkeys, and iguanas. Don't miss dolphins performing playful somersaults at the live-action dolphin show. Visit the Animal Planet Australia exhibit for an experience you are unlikely to forget. Here, you can observe a stunningly realistic river gorge with free-roaming lizards basking on rocky cliffs, fish that shoot a spray of water to catch their prey, freshwater crocodiles (safe behind a thick acrylic barrier), free-flying birds and a 35-foot waterfall.
The aquarium is also an ideal event location, with the ability to accommodate groups as small as ten or as large as 2,500. Event spaces include the Main Aquarium Building, the Marine Mammal Pavilion, the Knott Harbor View Room, the Underwater View Area, and an Outdoor Tent on the harborside veranda. Catering is provided by The Classic Catering People. For more information: 410-576-3800
