At one end of the harbor is the Baltimore Aquarium. The
Aquarium receives more than 1 million visitors annually from around the
world. This popular attraction contains five levels and two impressive
pyramids made of glass which showcase the more than 5,000 species of
fish, marine mammals, birds, reptiles that make their home here. There
is also an entertaining seal pool, a tropical rain forest complete with
piranhas, and the ever-changing "special exhibits".

events. Be prepared to get wet if you are lucky enough to get a front
row seat. You will be amazed at their brilliance and intelligence. This
is a show that everyone one will leave with a HUGE smile on their
face..

A short walking distance away on the opposite side of the
harbor stands the Maryland Science Center. The Maryland Science Center
is a private, non-profit organization that attracts more than half a
million visitors a year. The Science Center has received many awards
including the best Indoor Family Recreation Spot which makes this
perfect for a family outing. The Center is known for its interactive
exhibits, which provides for fun and interesting hands-on learning for
kids of all ages.

There are various "showcase" exhibits, such as the Titanic
exhibit and the Dinosaur Exhibit, that stop at the Science Center for a
month or two, which keeps the museum offerings fresh. The staff is also
very friendly and knowlegeable about what is going on in the Center.

While you are exploring the Science center make sure to take
in one of the IMAX films. It's a motion picture experience that will
totally immerse you. With a screen 4 stories high, and a state of the
art sound sytem, the IMAX Theater experience is so realistic that
viewers feel as if they are part of the film. Some of the latest shows
have been 3-D and give you an experience of being in the movie itself.

The Planetarium, which is located in the Science Center is
another must-see. It's a wonderful way for anyone from kids to seniors
to learn all about the magical world of astronomy. This show is chock
full of information about our skies which will have you leaving the
show, asking for more and wondering where the time went.

There are lots of restaurants within walking distance
featuring menus filled with the best local seafood in the area. And if
you are not a fish fan, you will be thrilled to find other cuisines
from burgers and pizza to Indian fare and everything else in-between.
Make sure you leave room for dessert, as you will find mouth-watering
pastry shops and even see fudge made right before your eyes.

visited destinations in the country. The Inner Harbor has something for
everyone's interests. Timewise, plan on spending the whole day, or more
