That was the worst part about the Inner Harbor. All the Baltimorons and touristos walking aimlessly like they were amazed at the overpriced stores and bad food at the restaruants. Wish I could have been at Phillips Seafood ~8 yrs ago when the buffet server stabbed and killed the other one in front of everyone during Sunday brunch.
jdragunas when you go to Balt. venture away from the inner harbor for some good eats. If you want, when time comes start a new thread for some suggestions.

No. They released it!
Which in a more humane way is good but the greedy person in me wanted it to stay so we coukd go see it.
She was killing the other sharks in the tank so they had to out her back in the ocean.

I've only been to Aquariums of America, New Orleans. It was great imo. (Of course, I'm bias, 1. I lived there, 2. it's the only one I've to, and 3. I got engaged there.)

I havnt had a problem in camden for people being rude. But if they were you have to remember that camden has the worst crime in the nation.

just an FYI - someone said that the Camden Aquarium was 2 hours from Philly? Actually you can see the aquarium from Philly it is just across the river - about 2 hours from Philly they would probably mean Baltimore.
I haven't been able to make it to Camden yet - not the best neighborhood - I try to avoid it.
My favorite time to go to Baltimore Aquarium is early in the morning as soon as they open (and before the hoards of class trips get there)

oh yea, and cleveland doesn't have an aquarium, but the have a saltwater exhibit at the zoo... i was soooo incredibly dissapointed it in. They had a seahorse display, but the seahorse tank was completely covered it aptasia (sp???)... the poor seahorses... they were potbellies too, very beautiful. All of the tanks were waaayyy overstocked, and it was just all around a bad experience...
