The 15 best things to do with kids in St. Michaels

We didn't know what to expect with this museum, but were really impressed by it! It is very well worth the visit, and there's more than enough to see in the 2 days the admission fee covers. At the beginning, someone went over the map with us, and explained some about the buildings. That was really helpful. It's not just a museum, but an entire complex of various buildings that are really each museums. I couldn't possibly do it justice by describing it- if you are considering going, you definitely should! I really enjoyed seeing the variety of boats, and the building that was built all around an oyster boat was probably my favorite. You could walk through it, hearing about it with the narration, and seeing all the different parts. There were fun facts about oysters all around, as well as a complete history of the oyster business in the area, canning, and even oyster wars! The lighthouse was pretty interesting, and showed all of the keeper's quarters set up, as well as some information about the various keepers, and a big map of all the area lighthouses. There was a whole building that showed about the blue crab, and the crab picking industry. There was a building that had lots of history and information about people enjoying the water in various ways over the years. As you walk around, the view of the harbor and the water is beautiful as well. The museum store is beautifully arranged, and contains a great variety of souvenirs and items having to do with the water.

The lighthouse and immediate area surrounding it are clean, safe and well-maintained. The grounds are fun to explore and easy to navigate. This is an amazing photo spot during the sunset magic hour. I look forward to my next visit as this was a worthy stop of the road trips..

A small, but very well curated museum telling the story of St Michaels with lots of artifacts. The volunteer docent who was there when we visited really knew the history and did a great job interpreting the exhibits.

We enjoyed a fantastic casual lunch at Ava's. We shared a Ma's Meatball Sub and added a second side of chips for an additional $3. The roll, the meatballs, and the sauce were exceptional. Katie did a great job serving us. The patio was a nice place to dine and the staff opened and closed the retractable roof as the weather changed during our meal. The whole experience was great!

Loved this place. Located in the heart of St. Michael's. Went there for an ice-cream and got a great experience. From the posters inside to the full story of Justine's ice-cream directly from the owner. So many flavors and all of them so delicious.

I highly recommend this spot if you’re in the St. Michael’s area. This was my first time and my fiance and I stopped by for Valentine’s Day and apparently it’s been built up since the last time he visited with more shops in and around in walking distance. The winery itself sits inside with an artists boutique so you can wine and shop. The winery selection isn’t too bad if you have a sweeter taste in wine. If you like more dry, the reds are the way to go! The best and most surprising one was their chocolate Zin. The service is what makes this place a 5 star! The staff that served us was so nice! She took time to not just pour the wine but actually talk to us and shared some stories and chatted for a while! It also looked like everyone in there was having a great time along with the staff.

Sailing with Captain Iris was one of the best parts of our trip to Saint Michaels. She is so knowledgeable and her knowledge of the history of the beautiful homes we sailed by was amazing. And to add to our adventure, Captain Iris saw a smaller sailboat in distress and with her expertise, Captain Iris was able to rescue the boater and tow him and his sailboat safely into the harbor. What an amazing experience and Captain Iris is one in 1 million. You would definitely enjoy a sale with her on the Selena II.

Great scenic little park to rest and relax and enjoy the water views. Was able to park there (weekday) and walk up to South Talbot Street.

Great experience. Went in to rent a bike, and I ended up renting a kayak for an hour. The location is .1 miles from the water, so I enjoyed the walk over from the ship. The river was beautiful. I saw plenty of Blue Heron, Ospreys, snails, and oysters. It was a gorgeous excursion.

cute little park surrounded by water views and beautiful architecture!

The wife and I spend three days here earlier this month. We had a wonderful stay. We stayed at the bird of paradise cottage. It was charming and quiet. The staff were amazing. Breakfast was delicious each morning. Would stay again for sure!

Just moved to St. Michaels 2 weeks ago. Of course, I went to the library. The lady that helped me was very kind and courteous. She explained everything to me regarding the internet, etc. It was an enjoyable experience. Plan to use the library very often.
