Museum prices lowered Fridays after five

By Florence Lau | March 7, 2012

If you've been meaning to go to visit the National Aquarium or the Maryland Science Center, you should take advantage of the deal they are offering from now through the end of March.

For this month only, prices for admission are lowered to $8 after 5 p.m. on Fridays.

The regular price for Acquarium admission is $24.95; the Friday deal will cover a basic ticket. Dophin and 4D shows can be added for $4 each.

The National Aquarium is home to over 16,000 specimens and 650 species of animals, from amphibians and birds to reptiles and fish. Here, you can enjoy special exhibits of jellyfish, dolphin shows and a 4D immersion theatre show.

The science center usually charges $18.95 for the regular exhibit halls along with the planetarium, demo stage and one IMAX film. The $8 ticket will cover all of these exhibits and shows as well.

Watch an IMAX film about underwater creatures from the Triassic, Jurrassic and Cretaceous periods. Go stargazing in the Observatory on Fridays from 5:30 — 8 p.m. See the science of combustion, illusions, nanotechnology and more in action. Enjoy Science on a Sphere, a visualization system that uses projections to display animated data onto the outside of a sphere.

There are only a limited number of cheap tickets available per Friday, so be sure to reserve your tickets ahead of time if you're planning a trip to either of these two places this March.
