Default Baltimore Aquarium

So who's gone to the Baltimore Aquarium? Just have a couple questions.

1. How's the parking? I checked the website and noticed that the Aquarium itself doesn't have parking but they state to park in the Inner Harbor Garage.
1a. Is the Inner Harbor Garage an underground garage or above ground?
1b. Any steep inclines? Massive speed bumps? Regular or wide speed bumps I can handle with ease.
1c. Would my car make it in?

2. Any other parking lots other than the Inner Harbor Garage?
3. What else would you recommend to do in the Inner Harbor? (Anything goes for any occasion on this one.)

a couple of the parking garages in the inner harbor have smaller speed bumps inside. i know your car's low but i would think you would make it. usually the ones right there at the harbor don't have too many steep inclines. the one i usually have parked in is right across from the baltimore convention center on a side street. it's just a couple block walk down to the harborplace/aquarium area. depending on time of day you might even be able to grab some public parking on the side streets too.

oh! another garage i just remembered was down the side street by powerplant live. it's the one way street directly across the street from the espnzone. go down the street and around the corner from powerplant, go past the ruth chris steakhouse on the right and you'll see the garage right past it.

oh and the aquarium is awesome!!!! always a good time there

What dan said is pretty much correct. One lot you don't want to park in is the one at the corner of Pratt and Light. That's the T.Rowe price building (old IBM). Once your inside the garage is fine, but it's the getting in and out of the garage it's like a small hill! I always scrape my exhaust on it.

You could try parking under the gallery mall also. The one dan said (near powerplant/ruth chris) is a good one though and cheaper than the rest.

Just walking around Inner Harbor is nice. Obviously there are bars and Camden Yards is right there too. You can take the water taxi to Fell's Point (or drive there) which is nice too.

Make sure you time it so there isnt an Orioles Home game, no parking and the price goes way up for whats left.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the suggestions. The one under gallery mall seems to the the parking lot for me.
