Sounds like a fun time at the ESPN Zone! I know DS was amazed when he came back from the bathroom, when we visited the one in WDW! Where else can you watch television in the bathroom?? We really need to get back down there as a family. Do they still have the fudgery in one of the buildings at the Inner Harbor? DH and I had so much fun watching them sing and sling fudge around!

for sharing your report with us! I have enjoyed reading it

Yes, as far as I know, they do. We did not go there this time. They really put on a good show. It is in one of the Harborplace buildings, the Light Street Pavilion.

Thank you!
It is fun both taking the trip and sharing it! It is nice to know that people can see (or not) our vacation photos and not worry about boring them to death!

They performed some nice tricks together and splashed the audience pretty well, but they warned us first! They do some nice educational / informational bits with the large displays that are set on both sides of the pool.



When I find myself in a room like that with water, usually the chlorine is overpowering, but not here. Because of the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins I am sure they have something much better than good old chlorine and paper filters so it just smells a little damp, but not musty. I know it’s not Seaworld, or anything, but it was fun, and the admission charge helps to support the programs of the aquarium.

Those are awesome pictures! We're glad you liked the dolphin show, did you know that two of our dolphins are pregnant?

If you would like to learn more, we are keeping updates of the dolphins pregnancy at the new National Aquarium in Baltimore blog: We’re expecting! « National Aquarium | WATERlog

Also if you'd like, our blog has a collection of pictures people have taken at the aquarium. Feel free to add yours! Here's the link: Flickr: The National Aquarium in Baltimore Pool

not to take away from this, but there actually is a national aquarium in DC. although it's nowhere near the scale of the one in baltimore or many other locations. it's in the basement of the commerce building.

just thought it's a little bit of trivia worth noting.

National Aquarium in Washington DC -

it's been years for me, but the whole harbor area in baltimore is great. well worth the sidetrip if you have the time in DC. unfortunately the hiflyer is gone though. got some great shots of the area from there.

You are totally right. We actually wrote an entry on the DC Aquarium recently: Extreme Makeover: Aquarium Edition « National Aquarium | WATERlog

well thanks for that update then too. i was there in 2004 i think and the aquarium definitely showed its age (if i'm not mistaken, the baltimore aquarium was undergoing some major renovations then too).
