The National Aquarium is large and modernly designed. The Aquarium is divided into 3 sections: the Australian Exhibit, the Dolphin Area and the main exhibition area.

The Australian Exhibit is really grand. The 35 foot waterfall in the Australian exhibit is visible from the outside of the building through the glass windows. The waterfall is only the beginning of the genuine looking Australian Exhibit. There are many interesting animals including the Australian Freshwater Crocodile, the Broad Shelled Turtle, the Gouldin Finch and many other animals.

The Dolphin Discovery area houses seven bottlenose dolphins. Visitors can watch training sessions and enjoy the playful mammals.

In the main section visitors can touch Jelly Fish in the touch tank, and view many types of fish. The Shark alley is interesting and the rain forest has a genuine feel.

The Aquarium is one of the main attractions in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore. It is a lovely place to visit but a little pricey.
