My son has been asking to go to the National Aquarium in Baltimore for as long as he could say it. I finally decided it was time to go check it out, so I invited a friend and her kids, and lucky us, it was a special discount day. Lucky because we got in pretty cheap, but then our luck ran out. The place was completely overcrowded, it was close to impossible to see most exhibits, and there were so many people there, it made it hard keeping your little ones close by. Because they were having a special promo, they did not include the Dolphin show which was truly disappointing.
My son, who had asked me about 100 times if we could go there, and who jumped up and down with glee when he found it it was our suprise outing for the day, was asking to leave after about 15 minutes.
I may never know how great the aquarium is, as I think they charge way too much on a regular price day, and they get way too crowded on special days.
