Behind the scenes!?!?

[bmorecopper]

Hey gang,
Just checking to see if anyone would be interested in a "behind the scenes" trip to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. I thought it may be interesting to see how large systems work and compare it to our small systems.
I can stop in there one day after work and see if we would be able to do this. If anyone is interested please post.

I love the National Aquarium. I would be very interested in getting a behind-the-scenes tour.

I had a very nice span of going and always getting to see at least one of the sloths out and moving... Then one of the sloths died, and I stopped seeing the other.
In fact, thats been happening a lot of late. Noticed one of the sharks was missing (one of the saw nosed) and was told they are a shark spp. that expells their stomachs in order to digest food, and another shark decided to attack the stomach and killed the saw nosed shark. And their sea turtle they had forever, he died a few years ago, to cancer I think. Can't remember if the super huge electric eel died, or was moved. Hmm...
In other words, my brother found me to be quite embarrasing to be around the last time we went there together, because I was asking about missing fish. So I don't know how interested anyone at the Aquarium would be in giving me a tour...
The aquarium used to have a program each winter, "prices take a dive Fridays after 5" -- at first it was only $5 to get in, then they raised it to $7.50 I'm not sure if the program still exists or not, but it was often a nice time to go.

Cool. It sounds like we have enough people interested. I work again on Friday so I will stop over then.
I have donated $500 over the last two years. Maybe that and a smile will be enough.
I will keep you guys posted. Anyone else that maybe interested please post as well.

I might be interested, with the gf and son. Let me know when it might happen and I'll see if we can make it.

Yeah, I guess put me down for 4. Maybe we'll have enough to take a bus?

 

[Jandree22]

Okay, I'll bite... possibly 3 (wife & kid < 3yo).

 

[trippkid]

Yeah, I would like to go too.

 

[CBehr]

Me and the wife would most likely be in.

Just an update....
I made it down to the Aquarium early this week. I talked to a few people and got the name of the people I need to talk to/email. From the people I have talked to, they do have a behind the scenes tour. However, no one knew if they charged a fee or not. I will be sending out an email tomorrow to the rep and I will keep everyone posted.
