Free Admission for Maryland Schools!
All Maryland schools (public, private, or homeschool) are eligible to receive free Aquarium admission from September 2005 through February 2006.
School groups must have 15 or more students, a reservation in advance, and be accompanied by at least one teacher who has attended a free one-hour Teacher Orientation.
A grant from the Maryland State Department of Education helps the Aquarium fund the free admission program.
The 2005-2006 school year will be an incredibly exciting time to visit the Aquarium. New exhibits, new programs, and new animals await you and your students!
Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes
Journey to Australia – the Land Down Under - in our new exhibit Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes. A wide array of unique animals will be on display including freshwater crocodiles, flying foxes and many species of colorful birds. In addition to the spectacular exhibit, visitors will experience our new restaurant, gift store, and ticket center, as well as interactive displays about the Chesapeake Bay.
Australia Education Programs
