Aquarium & Science Center
A day at the National Aquarium is an experience that visitors will remember for years to come. Within the two buildings of the aquarium there are fish from Maryland, stingrays, tarpon, green turtles, dolphin displays, shark tanks, a rooftop rainforest and other species of fish. There are several exhibits that are worth taking the time to explore such as the Dolphin Encounter, Sharks Behind the Scenes and the Rainforest Sleepover. Each exhibit is designed to give visitors a hands-on experience of the marine life.
The Maryland Science Center will entertain the kids for hours. The complex has a planetarium, an observatory, an Imax theater, dinosaur skeletons and much more. Some of the exhibits are Follow the Blue Crab, Dinosaur Mysteries, Newton’s Alley and Your Body the Inside Story. There’s also a kid’s room where the youngsters may participate in hands-on activities.
