Overview
Downtown Discovery Days are a chance to explore and enjoy some of the area's best cultural attractions and museums for less! The Aquarium is distributing a minimum of 10,000 pre-reserved tickets through our timed reservation system throughout the two-week Downtown Partnership promotion.
Tickets must be reserved in advance, will be limited to six per registration and will become available on January 13, 2025, at approximately 3 p.m. Tickets will not be available at our box office in advance of or throughout the promotion. Due to this event's popularity, guests planning on attending should expect larger crowds than usual and anticipate the Aquarium selling out.
Event Registration
Guests must register for tickets online before the promotion. Tickets will be made available beginning January 13, 2025, at approximately 3 p.m. Tickets for this promotion will not be available at our box office.
A limit of six tickets per registration will be in place. Guests can alter their reservations in advance. They cannot, however, add more tickets to a reservation if it exceeds the six-person limit or if there are no additional tickets available for their reserved entry time. Guests cannot change their reservations at the door. Children ages 4 and under will count toward the six-person limit.
Event Entry
All tickets will be issued in keeping with our timed entry system. Your online registration will list the entry time for your party. Please have your registration available when you arrive at the Aquarium, either on your phone or as a printed page. Parties will not be allowed to enter the building ahead of their reserved time.
Parking
The National Aquarium's official parking facility partners—Harbor Park Garage, LAZ Inner Harbor Garage and Parkway Lockwood Place Garage—will honor their normal discounted parking rate for Aquarium guests. All guests will need their parking validated at the Aquarium to receive the discounted rate, so please remember to bring your parking ticket with you.
Additional Information
For the comfort and safety of all guests, the Aquarium cannot accommodate strollers on our exhibit route. On-site, self-service stroller parking is available, but space is limited. Backpack carriers are not available for rent at this time.
