Anytime is a great time to visit the National Aquarium. But if you prefer a quieter experience, visiting on weekdays or weekends before 11:00 a.m. or after 3:00 p.m. is your best bet. Weekends are quite popular at the Aquarium, so you can expect the largest crowds on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
