The National Aquarium in Baltimore is located on a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, the nation's largest estuary. Water is ingrained in the history and culture of Maryland, as many of its citizens have earned their living from the Chesapeake Bay and the Port of Baltimore.
The Aquarium opened its doors to the public on August 8, 1981. Today, the Aquarium remains one of the most sophisticated and technologically advanced aquariums in existence. Its architecture, exhibits, programs, and management structure are considered definitive role models worldwide.
Committed to serving a diverse constituency, the National Aquarium in Baltimore seeks to stimulate interest in, develop knowledge about, and inspire stewardship of aquatic environments .
