I have never seen a better aquarium than we have at the Inner harbor. The exhibits and staff are truly exceptional! There are many educational gems worth seeing in the harbor area. Baltimore deserves better than it's current incompetent and corrupt leadership, destroying a once fine city. Here's hoping by a much needed needed regime change, it may yet rebound.

Was at the National Aquarium last weekend (May 21, 2022) and my family and I did a behind the scenes tour of the turtle rescue, and Shark catwalk. The experience was so amazing!!! The employee touring us was so enthusiastic about the different species and I learned so much during the time that i was there! I really appreciate the aquariums efforts to help endangered species and build environments (floating marshland). Can’t wait to visit again!
P.S. while I was there I noticed in the main tank adjacent to the large shark’s tank there were smaller sharks that seemed to swim as a group… do they work together? And do sharks live in “pods”?

The blacktip reef sharks that you saw do hunt in groups! In the wild, these sharks work together to drive prey species hiding in the coral reef. Sharks do not form social pods like dolphins, but some species do form hunting packs. We hope this helps!
