My grandson likes nature, and fishing is one of his joys. We have visited the local aquariums Norwalk, Mystic and Coney Island. I wanted to take him to the National Aquarium in Baltimore Maryland as I had heard it is very good
It is a three-and-a-half-hour train ride from Stamford to Baltimore. I didn’t want to spend seven hours on the train just making it one day. So, we spent the first day in Philadelphia.
Arriving in Philadelphia we checked into our hotel and then we crossed Delaware like Washington and spent the afternoon at the Battleship New Jersey.
It was most impressive. The ship is enormous, and guns are enormous. There was so much history with the ship. It is well worth the visit.
I must say the Philadelphia people are hardy. The temp Saturday night was in the 40s with strong wind and all the outdoor restaurant tables were full.
Sunday morning, we took the train to Baltimore. A ten-minute taxi ride and we were at the Aquarium.
The Inner Harbor is quite nice. We could see Fort McHenry. The frigate Constellation is moored close to the aquarium.
The aquarium is well worth the visit. It was well laid out. The number of fish one could see was large.
They also had a rain-forest and an Australian section. The aquarium met all our expectations.
The logistics. Stamford to Philadelphia Saturday morning leave 8:55 arrive in Philadelphia 11:20
Sunday, leave Philly at 9:37 arrive in Baltimore at 10:50
Leave Baltimore at 5:03 and arrive in Stamford at 8:45.
If you book early enough the tickets are not that expensive
