Marine Mammal Pavilion — Attraction in Baltimore

So, when we arrived at the Marine Mammal Pavillion to see the dolphins, the entrance had a sign posted saying they were no longer offering any dolphine shows. I didn't get a picture of the sign, and unfortunately, I was unable to speak to anyone working in that area as they were all busy at that time, but I'm still unclear if this is a temporary situation or if its a permanent change.

The area is very large - lots of seating surrounding the massive marine mammal tank, with splash zones and handicap accessibility. The way the layout is designed allows for great views anywhere you're sitting in the audience. Even though they were not offering any dolphin shows, we did get to see about 4-6 different dolphins interacting with a few trainers during our time there. The trainers were practicing different tricks with them all for quite some time, so it was almost like getting a show anyway, lol.

It was so awesome to be able to observe these beautiful animals up close and get to watch them practice various tricks and swim around. I would definitely come back to visit them again, whether or not they're still offering shows. It's definitely worth a visit!

The only reason I'm giving this a 4* instead of 5* is because I feel like there was not enough clarity on the dolphin shows. I would have liked being able to ask someone there that day, but like I said earlier, I was unable to. I would have also appreciated the experience more had there been some more information displayed around the area about dolphins in general, and maybe even about those specific ones we got to see in person, since the trainers are no longer giving shows and educating the public.

This place was really cool! We started off in the Australia exhibit which I'm happy about because it was the least impressive one but there were still lots of little fish. We were able to see a variety of fish, sharks and sting rays very close up. We were even able to pet some of the baby sting rays and some sort of crab. The little kids were all over that. There was also a cool rainforest exhibit at the very top level where we saw birds and a sloth, weirdly enough. Everything was really cool, but my absolute favorite were the dolphins! You can stand right up next to the tank and watch them play and we even got to see them eat lunch and do lots of adorable tricks. The tickets are pricey but I'd say it's worth it considering everything...

Our visit to the Baltimore Marine Mammal Pavilion was absolutely breathtaking! The multi-level design allows you to experience the beauty of the dolphins, sharks, and a vibrant array of colorful fish from different heights, offering incredible views of the entire underwater world. My son Antonio was mesmerized by the variety of marine life, especially the stunning, illuminated jellyfish (Medusa), which added a magical touch to the visit. The whole space feels like an enchanting underwater escape. The staff was knowledgeable and passionate, making the experience even more enriching. Highly recommend—super beautiful and an unforgettable...
