The National Aquarium will go dark on Saturday, March 28, 2009 between 8:30pm and 9:30pm in support of Earth Hour to help make a global statement of concern about climate change and to demonstrate commitment to finding solution.
As a major attraction that lights up Baltimore’s sky line, the Aquarium has become an important landmark on the Inner Harbor. It a very intricate building that is home to over 16,000 animals, and so turning off the lights off is no easy feat.
The following parts of the National Aquarium will be dark: the glass pavilion which houses Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes, the Rain Forest exhibit, upper and lower lobbies, gift shop and café, the ticket center, and all outdoor perimeter lights, spot lights, ground lights, tree lights and tri-vision sign lights on Pier 3. For safety purposes, all essential emergency lights will stay on.
