Jellyfish exhibit at Baltimore Aquarium

[emartin]

Has anybody seen the Jellyfish Exhibit at the Baltimore exhibit?

Is it worth seeing (I'll be down in Baltimore on the 16th, probably the weekend too).

Do they have any of the fluorescent species there?

So is it worth it Bill?

I was there back in 2004 when they had the Exotic Sea Dragon and Sea Horse exhibit and that was anazing...

Did they have any tanks where they had special lights making the jellyfish glow?

On a whole I thought the entire Aquarium was worth it.
I believe there are certain times when admission is discounted.
Maybe someone on here knows?

I say it's worth it if your already going to be in the area...why not go right. I use to go all the time but I have not been there since they set up the jelly exhibit. If it helps any one of my coworkers thought it was cool when he went in the spring.

We've had a family pass for the past couple of years and go usually at least one Sunday per month (less since the twins)... If you haven't been, it's well worth it to check out the Aquarium and Jellyfish exhibit. There might be a AAA discount but the best deal (if you're going to go a few times) is the pass. Also, parking on the street (which is usually pretty simple to find relatively early) is free...

Prices take a dive, Fridays after five!

(Actually, not sure if the above is still valid. The Aquarium usually runs this in a certain month/time span during the year)

Well it sounds like next time I head down there I'll take a visit. I was impressed by the Sea Dragon, Pipefish, and Seahorse exhibit they had a few years ago...

I see something new just about every time I go... and my daughter and I have been probably 25 times in the past couple of years. Having a pass means that we can hang out in a particular area for awhile and not feel like we're not getting our money's worth. We've spent a couple of hours in the "rainforest" before - too cool!
