Last chance at the Aquarium

So it's pretty nasty outside today. If you're looking to do something indoors tonight, head over to the National Aquarium where, for the last time this season, it's offering the "Fridays After Five" promotion. After 5 p.m., general admission is only $8 per person (compared to the usual $24.95) and guests can explore the Aquarium until 9:30 p.m.

It's a great deal, especially if you haven't seen Jellies Invasion: Oceans Out of Balance yet, which is one of the best exhibits the Aquarium has had in years, in my opinion. There's something haunting and beautiful about the translucent creatures, plus it's fascinating to learn about their impact on the ocean's ecosystem.

If you want a behind-the-scenes look at all of the exhibits, read the "Night at the Aquarium" feature story in our May issue, on newsstands in a few weeks.
