The National Aquarium

A great place to visit is the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland. There are many different varieties of fish and other aquatic wildlife. They even offer a dolphin show that lasts about thirty (30) minutes. Now, admission can be pretty steep. Currently, admission for adults is $21.95 and children 3 to 11 years of age is $12.95. If you plan to visit more than once a year, this can get expensive. That's why I suggest getting a yearly family membership. You can go as many times as you like during the year. And, an added membership bonus; no lines!! Aja and I were there today and the lines where tremendous in the 95 degree heat. We just walked past that delay and headed right in.

Kids' Theatre

The Classika Theatre offers puppet theatre productions for kids 3 years of age and older. Show times are ideal and their durations are usually no more than an hour. These productions, in my opinion, are a great alternative to television, videos and movies as imagination is the prime conduit. And, children gain an appreciation for theater at an early age. The theater is located at:
