I don't really know where you are from but if you are going to go through the hassle to go to Camden there are probably better places to check out, like Liberty Science Center. Or go into Philly or Baltimore. I think the aquarium in Camden would be a more enjoyable trip if it weren't in Camden. Just MHO.

I don't entirely agree. We like the new aquarium. DD loves the shark tank and seeing the hippos (both of which came from Animal Kingdom, BTW). I would hate if the shark tank had a moving walkway. I want to stay in there and watch the sharks for a while, not be pushed along the way.Cindy B said:Its gone downhill since the Adventure Aquarium took over.
the amount of exhibits went down. They do have some newer things, like the shark tunnel and the hippo area, but they did get rid of many things to do that. The shark tunnel is too small for its area and does not have a moving walkway, so many just stop and look. Think of a tunnel, dark lighting many people, so the walls felt like they were closing in (I never ever get claustrophobic either)
I enjoyed it then, but now its basically the same or less stuff for a much higher price.
Yes they do.puggymom said:It has been a while, but we drove into Philly and took the ferry over to the aquarium. DO they still do that?
For those planning a trip to the Camden aquarium, the Battleship New Jersey is docked nearby (walking distance) and is also a great tourist attraction. We toured it last year with DD's scout troop and it is very interesting for kids and adults.java said:Now Camden is not a place you want to be wandering around - the waterfront where the aquarium is is very nice... but 2 blocks in any direction...be careful.
I'd say Langhorne, PA is probably about 45 minutes from Camden. You would cross the Ben Franklin Bridge and take I-95 north to Route 1 and you're there. Certainly close enough to do on the same trip.littleEinsteins4 said:didnt realize we were so close to sesame place I hear its close to camden.
