Read to Reef

Thanks for Joining Us!

Thanks for participating in the October 2025 Read to Reef Book Club! Check back soon for more information about our next Read to Reef Book Club in March.
 

Reserve Your Tickets

Once you have read and logged five books, you can reserve up to four admission tickets to the National Aquarium.

Reserve your tickets at aqua.org/read-tickets, or learn more about Read to Reef and other community programs at aqua.org/read. All guests must reserve their visit date and entry time in advance online using the reservation portal.

To reserve your timed entry slot, use the code printed on the bottom of your Read to Reef bookmark. This code can only be used once to redeem four tickets of admission. Children four years old and younger do not require tickets, and if you do not use all four tickets in your transaction they are forfeited and cannot be used on a separate day.

For more specifics and details, see the Aquarium website.

Please note that Read to Reef bookmarks and corresponding National Aquarium tickets are intended only for Baltimore City students in fifth grade or younger. If you're in possession of a Read to Reef bookmark and can't use it, please give it to a young reader in your life.
