made some major layout and form corrections, but probably still needs much work if anyone has time. it was pretty much one long run-on and repetative sentence. ScottyBoy900Q 21:12 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
The correct pricing is as follows:
Option 1: Aquarium Admission
Includes our newest exhibits, Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes and Jellies Invasion as well as all other Aquarium exhibits. Adults: $24.95 Children 3-11: $19.95 Adults 60 and older: $23.95 Children under 3: Free
Option 2: Aquarium Admission + Dolphin Show
Enjoy The Dolphin Show "Our Ocean Planet" as well as our newest exhibits, Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes and Jellies Invasion and all other Aquarium exhibits. Adults: $27.95 Children 3-11: $22.95 Adults 60 and older: $26.95 Children under 3: Free
Option 3: Aquarium Admission + Dolphin Show + 4D Film
In addition to option 2, includes admission to the 4D Immersion Film. Adults: $29.95 Children 3-11: $24.95 Adults 60 and older: $28.95 Children under 3: Free
www.aqua.org for further information
The layout section is in need of a rewrite. It makes very little sense to the reader. I would do it myself as I used to volunteer at the aquarium, but I have not been there in at least 5 years so things may have changed. As a starting point, the rays and the sharks are not in the same tank; there are no "escalators" only moving sidewalks, and the whole thing about "featuring at first...ending with...but then featuring..." is just a mess. Could somebody who has been there more recently than I please clean this up? - Etoile ( talk) 08:36, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
This article has enough citations for its content. However, much of the content is lists, which should be pulled into the narrative, so there isn't really as much content as it seems. I am leaving this B-class but marking it for attention to WPZOO to keep it on my radar. Hopefully I or someone else will have time in the not too distant future to add content. Donlammers ( talk) 12:02, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
I updated some of the animals that are in the Wings in the Water exhibit. There are no Blacktip or Whitetip Reef Sharks (these are fairly large sharks), but instead there are 2 Blacknose sharks (much smaller). Also, some hogfish have been moved from the Atlantic Coral Reef exhibit to the Wings in the Water exhibit. I know this information because I am a volunteer diver at the aquarium. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoptza ( talk • contribs) 16:10, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of National Aquarium in Baltimore's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "History":
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 07:52, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
This article is dangerously close to becoming an advertisement between the recent changes by the editor Aquadotorg, which sounds suspiciously like an insider, to recent changes trying to remove the "Best Overpriced" statements. It is funny that they keep removing this, yet leave the Coastal Living mention in without actually providing the reference. Entire sections of this article are not very encyclopedic. How is a current listing of animals in each exhibit encyclopedic? How is a very detailed description of a temporary exhibit encyclopedic? Both of these things are similar to putting pricing information and hours. This entire article currently reads like an ad. Marauder40 ( talk) 19:24, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved to National Aquarium (Baltimore). Giving the location as Baltimore is enough to distinguish this from other national aquariums, avoiding the issue of being US-centric. EdJohnston ( talk) 13:11, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
National Aquarium in Baltimore → National Aquarium – The National Aquarium in Baltimore is now known simply as National Aquarium ( Source). Currently, a redirect to a disambiguation page for "National Aquarium" occupies that article title. However, the National Aquarium (Baltimore) is visited significantly more ( Stats Here) than any of the articles listed in the disambiguation page ( Stats1, Stats2, Stats3, Stats4, Stats5). I'm proposing that the "National Aquarium in Baltimore" article be moved to "National Aquarium" to replace the redirect page, and have a link to the disambiguation page found here contained within the article. I'm consitering this to be "slightly controversal" because of the impact on the other pages, hence why this isn't a simple technical request. Anc516 ( Talk ▪ Contribs) 00:26, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
