The National Aquarium and the DC Autism Parents (DCAP) go for a whirlwind adventure under the sea on Sunday, April 26, 2009 at the National Aquarium in Washington, DC. Located just one block from the Washington Monument in the Commerce Building, the nation’s oldest aquarium is a must-see attraction that offers a nice relaxing, family friendly experience.

Are reptiles slimy? Are all reptiles scaly? Are reptiles dangerous? The National Aquarium staff answered these and many other questions as we highlighted our reptile collection with Reptile Day, held on Saturday, November 1 from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Story time, crafts, and a special display of reptiles were all part of this slithery annual event held to help visitors learn about reptiles and their important role in their ecosystem.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore will celebrate Beyond the Boardwalk, a series of events celebrating ocean life, and sharing ways to protect and restore our local waterways for thousands of animals that call them home. Annually taking place in June, Beyond the Boardwalk features a variety of exciting and interactive programs, games and stories on ways adults and children can be responsible and get involved.
