National Aquarium (Baltimore) Tour & Review with The Legend

[@4-1-19]

I'm a Youth Exhibit Guide (volunteer program) at the Aquarium and I absolutely loved watching this video! It was nice to see someone enjoy the aquarium (and actually read all the signs!!). I will also say that the lizard in Australia is always staring out that window. He loves his harbor view.

[@sireloinofbeef]

yo!!!!! ive been thinking of signing up for being in the youth exhibit guide, but this is the 1st time ive actually seem someone on the internet whos participated :0

[@sireloinofbeef]

any chance u could give me tips for applying/working there if it is not too much 2 ask

[@rileywilks3428]

The strange looking animal you saw from the underwater viewing area of the blacktip reef exhibit was one of the 2 wobbegong sharks. Very rare to even see and even rarer to see free swimming as they normally are hiding in the shadows. For reference, I'm a volunteer at the NA and in the 200+ times I've checked on the exhibit, I've seen a wobbegong shark like 10 times and I've yet to ever see one free swimming.

[@Infinity_Gamer10]

I go here often when I can. It’s really nice and relaxing walking through each exhibit.

Is there easy parking?

Thanks for showing off my city that I love!

[@samwelsh8241]

Blacktip reef is probably my favorite tank design because it's made like a koi pond and it's not round or a dog bone shaped tankit has deep reef wall than the shallow sand with many coral colonies all spread out and the complex shape of the tank encourages the animals to swim in all different directions and this is probably the most accurate coral reef exhibit anywhere. I say it's made like a koi pond because of how it's built into the ground.

[@isunlloaoll]

I was just thinking about this aquarium and then you uploaded this. I'm so happy. Thanks.

[@heathera5457]

This was an awesome video!!! You are so good at explaining all the exhibits. My son and I really loved it! ❤

[@IntheLoopPodcast]

Thanks for the kind words

[@atticussmith4247]

Peter Chermayeff who designed the National Aquarium also designed the Lisbon Oceanarium, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, New England Aquarium, Duesseldorf Aquarium, and the Tennessee Aquarium. The National Aquarium is especially reminiscent of the Tennessee Aquarium because of the roof design, the escalator that takes you to a top room, and the multi level room with multiple tanks.

[@darrenrobins6575]

Another awesome oceanarium video as always 👍👍👍

[@jeremymagsamen3265]

Worked there for a little over 20 years. The main building opened in 81. The dolphin pavilion in 90 and the Australian expansion was in I believe 05.

[@ChefSlappy]

Yeah, 05 was when I worked there during construction

[@vegasstoker9647]

You and Molly are Awesome. Thanks for the terrific videos. I'm taking my family to the Kalahari in the Dells in a month. Next summer Destin.

They definitely rent out that room with the view of the harbor, as recently as a decade ago they used it as a small food court as well.

[@joshfriedman7099]

This is my home aquarium, kinda. I live in Northern Virginia. There used to be an aquarium in D.C, but it wasn't very good.

[@alle8047]

the orientation of the aquarium is a little messed up here. The viewing room over the inner harbor is actually a small cafe area and the big "girf shop" after the jellies is a food court. The 4D movies are really fun, they play some documentary type about 20 minute clip.

[@PinkHawk191]

The building out the window in Dolphin Discovery is my condo building where I live!

[@samwelsh8241]

you also get every possible perspective of the blacktip reef

[@guanakoshrnz7726]

[@RyanDahn]

Never thought i'd be this guy, but now that I have kids, they don't allow strollers here! We're planning on going, and one of my kids isn't walking yet so we're gonna be lugging around a 27 pound baby for two hours. Lol. Still looks amazing.

[@vladimirivanov9963]

Ive been there's at least 8 times. You should appreciate that you didn't have a crowd blocking all the exhibits lmao. Its a magical place though for real.

[@AnnaTravels]

I wasn't impressed when I went as a kid. I thought the sharks looked sad, lol, but I feel that I would appreciate it better now.

[@DNiceAdventures]

I created a similar video on my KZbin page from September 2020 at this aquarium. Not a lot has changed. Great video.

[@shanerose7204]

Once the pandemic is officially over, I highly recommend going to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York. It's got a good sized collection of animals including Asian elephants, red pandas, Amur tigers, Humboldt penguins, and siamang gibbons. I only recommend waiting to visit after the pandemic is over because most of the animals are indoors and there's only one indoor exhibit open at the moment.

[@IntheLoopPodcast]

I haven’t heard of that one, will add it to the list

[@shanerose7204]

@@IntheLoopPodcast Cool! Oh yeah, and Syracuse is also home to the Destiny USA Mall which has attractions like Wonder Works, Canyon Climb Adventure, and The Amazing Mirror Maze

I’m not sure on that one

[@madilove0]

They do! Typical kinda food court food, fish sandwiches and pizza and such. Kinda pricey but def affordable (less than a larger theme park or smth), my family always packs peanut butter and jellies (but u can't bring food inside so u have to eat in the car lol but we also have a 6 person family)

ok i've never seen a dolphin irl but it's weird that you guys dont have whale sharks or moon fish there, in portugal (my homecountry) we have 1 of ech i think in our center piece and they are the most impressive fish to watch swiming around, nonetheless very very cool video

[@IntheLoopPodcast]

In the US only one aquarium has whale sharks in it (Georgia Aquarium)

[@PinkHawk191]

The dolphins are the Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins. They live off the coast of Maryland. They go up and down the east coast of the USA.

[@thecreature916]

I have seen dolphins in the wild

[@alle8047]

its probably because the aqurium was built on the inner harbor so theres not much room to extend for the size of the aquarium suitable for a whale shark
