What a fun experience my niece and I had at the aquarium last Friday when school in Montgomery County was closed. Ms. Mickey was fabulous in her knowledge of the aquatic life and her rapport with the children. I can't say enough good things about the Glen Echo Aquarium!

The Glen Echo Park Aquarium makes up for lack of size in incredible staff engagement. Our niece and nephew spent several hours learning everything there is to know about the local sea life. In particular the touch tank staff was patient and kind, fully engaging with questions and requests. We would absolutely return.

Ms. Mickey was an amazing guide. She knew a lot about every animal there. Great place for children and adults interested in marine life.
A tiny public aquarium that exhibits life in the Chesapeake Bay and the rivers that flow into the bay. We are hands on and our staff love to show visitors all our exhibits! We host birthday parties, field trips, and scouts too. Timed entry (schedule your time through our website). Please note that parking is free and located off of Oxford Rd.
