All ticket categories (children, adults, military and seniors) are “pay what you want,” meaning guests may choose the price of their Aquarium admission.
Pay What You Want Day applies only to admission. It does not include products and services sold separately within the building, including 4-D Immersion Films, food and beverage, photos and items purchased at the gift shop.
Pay What You Want Day is part of the National Aquarium’s continuing effort to encourage Marylanders to reconnect with the world’s aquatic treasures and become inspired to protect the Chesapeake Bay and all aquatic habitats. Extended hours for this special offer are 9 AM to 5 PM, and guests may elect to add a 4-D Immersion Film experience to their visit for $5.
