Tour Around National Aquarium- An Attraction in Baltimore Never to Be Forgotten

Baltimore's National Aquarium is a public aquarium opened in 1981, and was constructed during the time of Baltimore's renewal period. Various factors make this an attraction which a visitor to Baltimore should not miss. The aquarium sees an annual crowd of about 1.6 million people who flock every year to enjoy its collection of sixteen thousand five hundred specimens as well as other six hundred and sixty species. In fact, in the month of November in 2006, it was awarded a 'Best of Baltimore award' for being one of the best over priced places for families to visit in Baltimore.
