I've been to the National Aquarium multiple times and have enjoyed each visit. One thing to be…read moreaware of is the adult entry price which is $50. While there isn't on-site parking, there are a few parking garages nearby that are a short walk away. Usually there is a good sized crowd, so plan to spend at least 2 hours to see everything.

The once bustling inner harbor is rather depressing. That said, I love a good aquarium and had to check it out. Why only 3 stars? It was sooooooooo busy. The layout was super confusing.

This store reeks of mold and none of the tanks are well maintained. Most of the fish that they have…read moreare in extremely poor health. Not to mention that the floor plan has a lot of the fish in odd corners where they go ages with out being taken care of. It's sad and out right disgusting the quality of life that the fish are in. Most of those fish look like they have been there long term and need to be in much larger tanks. When you walk into the store you are greeted by massive piranhas that are very sickly. Most if not all of the water in the tanks is a cloudy green which is not something that happens quickly that comes from long periods of time with over feeding, lack of water changes, poor filtration and a long list of neglect. You should be ashamed.

But they have a nice mix of fish and switch it up every few weeks.. I been dealing with these owners since the 90s in Riverdale.. Price is always reasonable. Fish are healthy. They won't work with you much on prices, but they are consistent and always have a few rare fresh water fish. I've had a few fish not make it, but overall, good experience shopping with them regularly.

Please bare I'm mind that I'm fairly claustrophobic...sooo…read more.. For starters, it's in a basement. Enter through street level door to immediately descend cluttered staircase. It's very warm/hot...due to moisture, lights, heaters. Not the worst fish store experience I've had, but I had to deep breathes to stay calm while moving about. Super packed with "stuff", so you'll prob find what you're looking for. Seemed somewhat on pricey side for tank decor, but fish seemed more normally priced. Haven't bought from them yet. Didn't find fish I was looking for. Not totally opposed to returning, but not thrilled to return either. So...just a 3 "meh" for me.

Completely unresponsive! I am extremely interested in booking Andrew for my son's birthday. After…read morefinally reaching him after two weeks initially, I got the pricing information with him. I called back to book and NEVER HEARD FROM HIM! It has been over a month, I left several voicemail messages and a message through his website and Facebook. Extremely rude and unprofessional to be completely ignored since the theme of the party was going to be based on his show!

Andrew was able to capture the children's attention and each child had the opportunity to touch a live sea animal. The room was filled with laughter and excitement from everyone in the room.

The store is beautiful and the fish all looked very healthy. That said I bought 4 platys and…read moreacclimated them, put them in with my other platys, and they acted great, until they suddenly went belly up one by one. eventually all 4 died in a span of less than 2 weeks. I called the store and was told it was probably because they add some salt to their freshwater tanks so the salinity was very different, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF YOU TOLD ME THAT WHEN I CAME IN!!! I even asked if there was anything I should know before I left. They are offering to replace them at cost but I live over an hour away and since I do not salt my tank wouldn't it be the same problem all over again?? I feel terrible giving such a low star rating but I am just not satisfied, I will be 100x more likely to go over to the Winchester Aquarium & Pet Center for other fish.

I can't recommend this place enough. I love walking in and being greeted by the employees. I enjoy…read morethe banter everyone has (and with me) it's friendly. I have gotten all my fish and plants from here, and again I can't recommend this place enough. It's clean, it's populated, it's what an aquatic store should be (in my opinion).

After years of buying pumps that lasted less than a year, they provided me with one that worked for 4 years and were then able to †hen provide me with a new part. They have saved me so much money and so many headaches. They also have an incredible variety of critters to put in aquariums and ponds. The owner is very careful about getting fish, etc., that have gone through the proper channels so they are not carrying diseases.

I still love this place, and despite being significantly further from home than other pet stores, I…read morestill find myself making time for it. The fish selections continue to be amazing, and I have awesome interactions with the staff. Most recently, one had a Majora's Mask tattoo so we just HAD to have a full conversation about fish with a side of Zelda. Video game jokes aside, whenever I have a question about the fish, or even if it's not a question and it's just one I know I want, the staff are always upbeat, enthusiastic, and you can tell that this aquarium life is their thing. They give advice and basically hype your selections haha. For anyone in the state of Maryland who is into aquariums, I recommend stopping by this store. It's well worth the visit. You can either park on the back where the store is, or on the front side which has a lot more stores and the parking lot is bigger, but it stays busy and fills up quickly. Pick your challenge!
