Just a quick question on tickets to the aquarium,

is there any sort of benefit to reserving a time and booking online beforehand?

or can you just walk up when there any buy tickets

at an aquarium we have here if you buy ahead of time you get access to a different lineup and spend much less time waiting to get in

thanks in advance!

Here is what their web page says and I quote:

It has been a few tears since I did this, but I skipped a huge line by ordering ahead. Also, when you go to buy tickets on the day you want to go, you are assigned a timed entry ticket, which may be hours later than you wanted. The aquarium is usually pretty crowded and unlikely to get a ticket and walk right in.

I have reserved an entry time and it worked well. In the future we will definitely do that.

Hello! I am a Maryland resident with an aquarium membership. Yes, you can just walk up and buy tickets. However, I have seen long lines wrapped around behind the building waiting to buy a timed ticket. I have also seen the box office close at 3:00, sold out. I would reserve early. If your schedule doesn't permit, go early and buy timed tickets and plan on taking a nice walk around the harbor. Clue: Compare the number in your party to the membership price. If your trip coincides with a member night, it is ultimately the best experience. It includes free viewing of 4D movies and just a generally peaceful experience. It can get very crowded and claustrophobic during a summer weekend or around a holiday.
