The Way Up to Heaven



The National Aquarium in Baltimore is perhaps the greatest attraction in Baltimore's celebrated Inner Harbor. It shows that the city really knows how to present fish in ways other than filleted and broiled. The crown jewel of the Inner Harbor, its modern architecture impresses almost as much as its 660 species of animals.

The mission of the Baltimore Aquarium is to "stimulate interest in, develop knowledge about, and inspire stewardship of aquatic environments." And that is precisely what it does. View a life-size model of a humpback whale, see the concepts of surviving through adaptation come to life and visit a coral reef! Housing more than 16,000 creatures it exhibits a variety of species in their naturalistic habitats. Whether you're an educator, a student or simply a visitor wanting to glance at the magnificent exhibits, it has a lot to offer.

Thanks so much for the nice words for Sofia's Birthday! She asks me to thank you.
