All Science Center ticket options begin with base admission to the Science Center. IMAX films and traveling exhibitions are add-on options that are specially priced and packaged along with base admission for your convenience. The Science Center does offer IMAX only tickets after 4:00 pm on certain days of the week.

Guests may exit and re-enter the building as often as they like once admission for the day has been purchased as long as a valid wristband for the day is being worn.

The National Aquarium Baltimore

Whether you are a resident of the city or an out-of-town guest, we want your experience at the Aquarium to be unique, comfortable, and unforgettable. Here are a few insider tips.

• Buy your tickets in advance. You can avoid lines on the day of your visit by using our online ordering system, phoning or visiting a TicketMaster outlet, or by visiting the ticket office outside the Aquarium in the Inner Harbor any day prior to your visit.
• If buying tickets on the day of your visit, buy before touring the harbor. On especially busy days, available tickets may not permit entry until several hours after your purchase. Fortunately, the Aquarium is the anchor to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Numerous shopping and sightseeing opportunities are within short walking distance.
• Discover the Aquarium in a New Way! Now it's easier than ever to prepare and plan a visit to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. The Aquarium's new, interactive trip planner is the best way to get ready for your adventure. Try the Online Trip Planner before your next visit!
• Visit during off-peak hours. Visiting as soon as the ticket center opens is a great way to avoid crowds and see early-morning animal behaviors that most guests never see. Late afternoon and evening hours are also a great time to visit.

Little Italy Baltimore

Little Italy is located in the heart of downtown renaissance Baltimore. Nestled between the Inner Harbor and historic Fells Point, you will find a cozy neighborhood of mostly Italian residents and Trattorias.  Just across the harbor from Federal Hill, you can also reach Little Italy by water taxi, a short walk across the canal bridges, or a romantic horse & carriage ride from the Inner Harbor.  Enjoy a stroll through the neighborhood on your way to one of the charming trattorias, to watch a bocce ball contest, or to attend a social event in the Cultural Center at Saint Leo's.

Fells Point Baltimore

With its cobbled stone streets and its waterfront location, Historic Fells Point has long been a favorite attraction for young and old alike. An eclectic collection of stores and boutiques offering gifts, flowers, home and garden accessories, candles, antiques, clothing, home furnishings, jewelry, toys, souvenirs, and much more are scattered throughout.

From the funky to the classic...
The unique to the unusual..
The conservative to the wild...
We have a little bit of everything!

Alongside these stores, you'll find a charming selection of pubs, restaurants, and night clubs. From casual to fine dining, and from sports to jazz, there's always something for everyone's taste.

New development occurs all around the neighborhood, yet there still exists a small town feel in the community as the majority of the businesses are locally owned and operated and all you need can be found right here.
