Kodatech, yes the National Aquarium in Baltimore is a great Aquarium. We actually have done some of the exhibits there (shark and coral reef and several inserts). I have not seen the new Australia exhibit, but I have seen pictures and it looks great. We just got the contract to redo the original first phase of the Virginia Aquarium (we did the second phase) so we will be redoing several tanks there, including a large Red Sea tank.

So yes Baltimore ranks in the top group for me, also, even through it is old, the New York Aquarium is great. We did Sea Cliffs, Discovery Cove and individual exhibits, and recently we redid their Beluga tank to a Belize Coral Reef.

Thats awesome! What do you actually do that allows you to redo all these huge tanks?
 
I've been to the Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach, SC, it looks very similar to the one in your pictures. The one in Gatlinburg is just over two hours away for me, I'll have to check it out when I get a chance.
 
Actually we design and build aquarium exhibits all over the world. We have over 400 pieces of artificial coral and we are constantly making new pieces for our inventory. The Ripleys Aquarium in Gatlinburg was a design/build, we actually made the ship wreck and Rainbow Reef in our shop and shipped it to Gatlinburg for install.

The Ripleys in Myrtle Beach is simular in concept, but much different in finished product. Gatlinburg is by far a much better looking aquarium exhibits wise.

We are presently designing a new Ripleys Aquarium in Canada that will smoke the other two aquariums.

thanks for sharring...
 
I really like the aquarium even if it looks like PotC or some Disney World stuff. Omaha's aquarium is pretty dope, too.
 
Wow, I need to see this place, thanks for sharing
