National Aquarium

The National Aquarium is a landmark institution located on Baltimore's Inner Harbor in Maryland, home to more than 17,000 individual animals representing over 750 species in over 2.2 million gallons of water. Award-winning exhibits include the multi-story Atlantic Coral Reef, the Upland Tropical Rain Forest, Australia: Wild Extremes, and the Blacktip Reef habitat replicating an Indo-Pacific reef complete with blacktip reef sharks, emperor angelfish, and zebra sharks. The Living Seashore exhibit allows guests to view and touch over 150 Mid-Atlantic sea creatures. The aquarium's Animal Care and Rescue Center rehabilitates sick and injured animals, while a floating Harbor Wetland outside the building supports habitat restoration. With pioneering conservation science, educational programming, and immersive habitats, the National Aquarium inspires a deep appreciation for the world's aquatic ecosystems and stands as one of the premier aquariums in the United States.
