The National Aquarium is a lot of fun for the entire family, but I highly recommend going on a weekday if possible and getting there early. Not only are the exhibits too crowded on high traffic days (you pretty much have to stand in line to see each and every tank), but once a certain number of tickets are sold they go to timed entry, which restricts you from going into the museum until the time specified on your ticket (when we went, we were scheduled for an hour after we actually bought the tickets). However, the aquarium itself is really nice – watching the stingrays from a story above is a must! It’s not quite as big as I expected it to be, but there’s still a ton of stuff to see and do here. Highly recommended!
