The Baltimore Aquarium

Last Friday we went to the Baltimore Aquarium. It is located right in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore. The Inner Harbor is right on the water and they have lots of shopping, restaurants, paddle boats, ships and other fun things. The weather was wonderful. We had dinner and then went to the aquarium.

Laneah loved looking at all the cool fish. It was really crowded, but she would always find a way in through the crowd and get right up to the glass to see the fish.

The aquarium is 5 stories high and has a lot of glass walls for you to look out at the bay and the inner harbor. They have sharks, sting rays, fish, alligators, jelly fish and more.
Brooklyn was happy riding in the Bjorn carrier as we walked around.
I love this expression on Brooklyn's face, she is like "hmm, I don't know about this"
Isn't it scary to think that there are sharks with mouths this big? Yikes!
Laneah was fascinated by this jellyfish.

I thought Laneah would really like the dolphin show, but she preferred running around and looking at the fish. The show used to be really fun and action packed, but they changed it and now it is more educational. Plus they had a baby calf (just born last week!) so they asked people not to clap. And Laneah really gets into things like this when there is lots of clapping and cheering. But it was still cool to watch the dolphins do their jumps.



We had a great time as a family and I can't wait to go back to the aquarium. It is one of the best ones I have ever been to.

This place looks awesome! I wish that we had amazing aquariums close to us. Omaha is the closest... I think it's great that you guys expose your kids to so many experiences. You're great parents!
