The 49 best sights in Baltimore

We went for the first time and we choose labor day to go. It actually wasn't that bad. We had no wait to get in. But some of the exhibits had a crowd before you could get to see it decently. We did not do any of the experiences or were we able to see the dolphins though we did try. They were being feed when we were there and we didn't wait long enough to see them. If you have anyone in your group that has mobility issues and needs to use elevators they do have them and they can fit wheelchairs plus a person or two. They are not near where the other entrance to the floor is for those that do not have mobility problems. I say this for those who have parties of mixed capabilities. There is one area that those who cannot do stairs can access and that is the birds area. There is a way for wheelchairs to go through the area but there is 2 platforms that you can't get to. The aquarium was nice and the employees we came across were all friendly. The are some rather large attractions and lots of smaller ones just like any other aquarium or zoo. They have an area with horseshoe crabs and jellyfish that you can touch the animals. We were hoping that there was an area you can feed manta rays of something like it but they did not. We got to see how they clean some of the tanks and some of the divers that we found out that all the divers are volunteers. The guy made a joke saying that they work for free bottled air. Some of the tanks look difficult to clean so I don't envy them. They some frogs and birds and some other animals. I was not expecting to see any other animals but I thought it was cool. There are some really good views of the harbor as well. They have a spot that you can sit and rest while looking at the harbor. All in all we will probably go back and definitely recommend.

It was nice... I have been to aquariums with more variety... this one seems almost local species. A few empty habitats... the Jellyfish invasion is not impressive if you have seen them in other aquariums... some tanks looked like they were sick... dolphin shows are no more but you can sit and watch them... they mostly hung out in the back though, until the helpers came out to feed. That was cool. I agree with the stopping the shows and loved seeing them play. The rainforest was okay too... a couple of birds here an there... mostly just plant life with a cool water fall. Escalator was broke on one floor of the 4 floor exhibit. I think they have an elevator, they were not to informative about it though. We never looked into the Australian terrarium... chose to leave and do other things.

Had a mommy son day and it was just what was needed! Everything was clean and in order, not too many people on a school day so it was nice. Not too many lines, the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. My 8 year old stated it was his best day in forever ❤️ Thanks! I bought the membership and its already paid off but I can see him having us there a LOT!

The design of this aquarium is very unique. I have visited many aquariums across the country. Like the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, the Long Beach Aquarium in CA, and the Mall of America’s Aquarium. We went on a Sunday so it was super busy but getting our tickets online was a smart move. The layout of this aquarium is pretty unique and it can be actually quite confusing. Thankfully we had a friend who has been to this one multiple times and knew his way around. I do like the open design to the main attraction and the escalators to next level. That was very unusual to see. There was one escalator that was out of service but they had the service door for the stair propped open and someone standing there to help guide. Also another interesting thing was the rotating doors. I have never seen them being used inside of a facility. It was kind of annoying as only one person could go through it at a time. The best thing was all the aquatic creatures that they have. Those were a joy to watch and we got to talk to a knowledgeable guide that was showing off a turtle skull. She was fun to talk with and knew her stuff about the animals in the aquarium. I would go back for sure.

The aquarium closes fairly early, so I didnt have quite enough time to get through the entire place. It was beautiful. It was well laid out. The dolphin training was a surprise to see, but it was so cool to see.

Members Hallowmarine Event was great! I brought my sister and we had Tshirts with Halloween themes. The event started promptly at 6pm. We watched several sharks, stingrays and fish. The crowd moved at a leisurely pace. My sister touched the horseshoe crabs and jellyfish. We had the 4D shark experience in the theater with several surprises from the special effects. We viewed the Harbor wetlands from the bridge - impressive work. I read about project in the members newsletter. We enjoyed seeing so many children dressed in costumes. At the Pier 4 Cafe the dance party was in full swing! Kids danced to some of my favorite songs, Thriller and Monster Mash. Food was tasty. Another surprise included scuba divers in the Coral Reef. We have pictures and gestured with our hands about the turtle. All in all, a wonderful evening. My favorites are the turtles, seahorses and caiman. The scavenger hunt card added a little competition to find the specific animals.

Went on my daughter's field trip with her and had a blast. I do wish they had given us maps because we ended up missing parts. Still very fun. Lots of amazing animals and the staff is wonderful.

What an amazing national treasure and a great place to spend an afternoon with friends or family. Walking through the Fort transports you back in time and gives you an overwhelming feeling of national pride. Not to mention, the film documentary at the end of your visit has a truly special surprise at the ending you don’t expect! Do yourself a favor if you’re in Baltimore and go visit Fort McHenry.

Short but informative video to start the tour. Rangers are very knowledgeable about the fort's history. I arrived in time for the flag changing ceremony, which they allow guests to help participate in. Lovely views of the harbor from the fort or walking trails.

SO MUCH FUN! I went for a school field trip, and it did not disappoint. We walked the whole thing, and I loved the preservation of old rooms. My favorite was the one execution cell. The place has high educational value, but it's also a good exercise and it's very interesting. I would love to go again with my family. It was so pretty.

Our family of four had a great visit. We purchased tickets for the shrine, kids were free. Visitor Center has interactive exhibits and 20 min video thats worth staying until the end. Decent gift shop, no food or cafe to speak of. The grounds, views, restorations, rangers, history, and setting are all amazing.

Had an awesome experience learning about Fort McHenry and the buildup to the battle that inspired the Star Spangled Banner. Started off in the visitor center and watch the film and look at all the information panels. Going outside gives you amazing views of the bay, and exploring the fort is an awesome experience. Each building has information about the fort and it's history. I would absolutely come back and would recommend others do the same.

The NPS Rangers' lack of enthusiasm at this site prevents us from giving it a 5th star. You have to pay extra to walk out to the fort and take a self-guided tour. During our visit, the temperature was extremely high at around 98°F, which may explain the absence of reenactments or ranger-led tours; however, the rangers were still present at the site. The fort's rangers were just standing in the shade, maybe due to the heat. They could have been giving some kind of presentation or talk. We did not get a discount due to the heat, but the experience of being at the historical location was well worth the 4 stars.

One of the nicest fort we have been to. Very clean and well maintained. The staff are excellent and very informative. We got to watch the flag raising which was very interactive as well as informative. Great historical place that was worth the visit. Gift shop was nice as well.

This is a truly wonderful museum. A true gem of Baltimore. The collection is very large and varied art and artifacts from all parts of the world and including European and American pieces and eastern art as well. The displays are very professional and accessible and the staff always very friendly. And, it’s FREE! I have found that parking in the general area is easy to find and not expensive. If you find yourself in Baltimore make time to visit this beautiful museum.

One of the best museums I've ever been to. It starts from the very entrance: they have that beautiful idea with the cards to make your own tour around the museum. Moreover, wherever you go, you see a lot of materials next to the exhibits which give you plenty of ideas and information for a deeper insight. I loved it! And of course, their collection is just overwhelming! There are so many exhibits and all of them are well displayed in intelligently organized spaces. It's the only museum I didn't go to its cafe. There was no time for it. I wanted to squeeze as much as I could from every minute of my being there. Highly recommended to all art-lovers!

It's a gorgeous museum with great art pieces. They have a cool medieval like staircase too. My boyfriend and I got through the museum within abt 2-3 hours, but that's because we skimmed through mostly and stopped to look at and read about the pieces we found most captivating. If you're the type to stop and look at every piece, plan for more time. 😉 I also saw a woman with a wheelchair making her way around the museum so I assume it's atleast somewhat accessible. And it's all free!

The Walters Art Museum is an exceptional center for those who love art, particularly art that spans across thousands of years. I would recommend to start from the upper floor (4th floor) and work one's way down. The fourth floor houses the collection of East Asian items from China, Japan, India, and the Middle East. The collection spans thousands of years of eastern art, and includes manuscripts, ceramics, burial treasures, and many other items. The third floor contains the prized medieval collection which is one of the greatest collections of medieval art in the United States. There are sections that indicate Early Byzantine, Early Medieval, and Gothic eras. There is also an exhibit dedicated to how cats are represented in manuscripts. There is also a representation of a venetian home from the late medieval era, showcasing a merchant's collection that they could accumulate. The third floor also consists of Renaissance and Baroque art. These are mostly from Italy, and have sections for each century of Italian art. The second floor is dedicated to the ancient world as well as armor and collection displays. the ancient section includes art from Ancient Egypt, the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome. All are detailed and give one an idea of the living and dying rituals of the past. The armor collection is a nice touch, having armor mostly from Germany from the Renaissance that is highly decorative. There is a collector's room that details how a person from the 17th Century would house their collections. There is also a wonder room that showcases how one would collect items in the Early Modern Era. There is also a representation of a Dutch home filled with Dutch art primarily from the 17th Century. The first floor houses the temporary exhibit. This year, the exhibit details the mummification practices of various animals. The museum shop also has a variety of prints, mugs, stickers, books pertaining to their collection, journals, and jewelry that reflects the items in their collection. In terms of accessibility, there are elevators and even wheelchair lifts in spots so that everyone can see their entire collection. There is no fee to get in as of 2025, but you do have to pay around twenty dollars for parking across the street from the entrance. Overall, this is a must see if you are in the Baltimore area, and be sure to donate as they rely on donations to keep the place running for free for all visitors.

The Walters was the first place I visited after checking into my hotel around the corner. It’s a beautiful building with a great collection of art from all over the world. It’s easy to get through on a 2-3 hour visit and open until 8 on Thursday evenings.

What an excellent installation. Absolutely terrific artwork, sculptures, and great rotating exhibits. Highly reccomend for all ages, and good budget option for a great couple of hours in downtown Baltimore.

Very nice museum. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I definitely recommend checking them out. Add this spot to your list of free things to do in Baltimore!

Really loved this museum. Great art from only self taught artists, which really shows and is more genuine. Multiple floors in both buildings (ticketed only $10), plus a sculpture garden and tree house you can walk through, ticket or not. The outside of the building is really cool with mosaics and sculptures mounted around. I would highly recommend going in or the very least, walk around the area. I will be going back for new exhibits and look forward to it. The staff were all very nice and informative, as well as, holding knowledgeable and engaging conversations. Even recommendations for local food, ect. spots based on requested restrictions. Being knowledgeable of the area already, the recommended locations were all local and non touristy establishments which I appreciate and honestly expect nothing less from the locals. The Charm City pride is strong here and I love it.

A resident of Baltimore suggested this extraordinary museum located close to the Inner Harbor. I am so happy that I took her advice. This museum will inspire the artist in you. Beautiful sculptures, paintings, and mobiles that will take your breath away. There are two buildings. 3 floors in the main building and 2 in the other. Take your time to browse, there's a lot to see. Don't forget to stop in the gift shop. It is chock full of everything and very reasonable. You will love it. Your children will love it. Fun for the entire family.

Just one of the best! The creativity of the art here is amazing. Definitely a must see. Note:...there is no cafe on the premises or in the near vicinity unless you trek 6+ blocks to we think there is an area with some quick food options. There is a Rusty Scupper restaurant very close to the museum. On the water. Which is nice, but only if you want a relaxing meal and not a quick bite to eat. Also ... there is no museum parking lot, but there is a private parking lot near the Rusty Scupper restaurant and of course street parking ( which could be a bit challenging.for some).

Great art museum! Fun exhibits with very cool artwork. I really enjoyed the sports section and the building has a fun layout with many cool quotes throughout. I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys art museums and this is one of my friends’ absolute favorite museums in the US.

I absolutely loved the Good Sports exhibit they had during August. I did also miss a floor of the last building the first time I was there and that's where the permanent Matt Sesow collection is. I really liked that you could buy affordable original art. The gift shop is worth stopping by even if you don't want to see the museum. There's a lot of unique things there. If I lived closer I would have the membership. The pictures I added are from the Good Sports exhibit which is no longer there, but I really enjoyed George Sosnak's baseballs.

I'm disappointed in myself, having lived in Baltimore for 4 years and never discovering this place. Thank goodness my wife loves it and wanted to share it with me. What an incredible Museum! Go for the exhibitions, stay for the gift shop. Seriously! You must go here and check out all the exhibitions. Easily worth twice the price.

One of the best museums in the Baltimore/Washington area I always tell people that stay in DC to visit so they can see cool things like this that DC would never have. It's always a treat to visit and see what's new and interesting. Bring kids!

Baltimore Museum of Art – A Cultural Treasure Open Late Thursday! 🎨🌙 Visited the Baltimore Museum of Art on a Thursday evening, and what a treat! The museum stays open until 9pm (Thursday Only), making it the perfect spot for some post-work art immersion. ✨ Highlights of the Visit: From Rodin's iconic "The Thinker" to Monet’s dreamy brushwork, the collection spans continents, centuries, and galaxies of imagination. Loved the contrast between classic beauty and modern curiosity—you’ll wander from tranquil Buddhist sculptures to experimental abstract forms that challenge perception. The African and Indigenous art rooms are not to be missed—bold, spiritual, and incredibly powerful. 📸 Excellent photo ops throughout. Whether you're drawn to the quiet power of a bronze sculpture or the chaos of contemporary color, the Force is visually strong here. 🚗 Parking was super reasonable at just $9 after 5pm—a rare find for a museum of this caliber. Easy to access and well-marked. 🕘 Extended hours = quiet magic. The evening vibe is calm, uncrowded, and contemplative—ideal for art lovers and peace-seeking wanderers alike. With free admission to the main collection and plenty of space to roam, this place is a gem—whether you’re a casual visitor or a Force-sensitive art sage.

A must-see in Baltimore! The Baltimore Museum of Art offers an impressive and thoughtfully curated collection. The Cone Collection is especially stunning — a true gem with extensive works by Matisse, Picasso, and Van Gogh. I also enjoyed seeing pieces by Georgia O’Keeffe, Monet, Klimt, Gauguin, Botticelli, Raphael, and Sir Joshua Reynolds. The galleries are spacious, peaceful, and well-lit, allowing you to take your time and really experience the art. The museum store is well-stocked with unique, themed gifts and books — perfect for thoughtful souvenirs. A top-notch experience, and free admission is a bonus!

The BMA has an attractive collection of paintings, statues and other beautiful pieces from around the globe. I really enjoyed seeing pieces by Monet, Degas, Rembrandt and Botticelli to name a few. Entry is free except for certain exhibitions and open until late on Thursday evening.

It's a nice museum, especially for a free one. Not very big, easy to cover in an afternoon. Lovely variety of exhibits.

The BMA is a Baltimore and mid-Atlantic treasure! This museum- with its thoughtful, perceptive, and equitable representation healed all the art school BS I experienced in the late 90s. Free and open to the public, every exhibit that I have seen there has been moving, potent, and restorative. I will return again and again - and will be purchasing a membership. Can't celebrate the creative and community work they do at the BMA enough! Check it out!

A good art museum. They have a few unassuming Picassos, Van Goughs, and Matisses. The galleries well organized and kept clean and appealing. I also liked the art galleries curated to show art works from different continents.

To pass some time for an event I was attending in the BMA, I sat in their East Lobby. I then noticed certain things (within that area) that caught my attention. Next to me on the bench was a bead-encrusted figurine. On parts of the ceiling, I saw brood X cicadas (they were encased in something). Hanging from the ceiling was a figure within a cocoon and it was in a multi-tiered chandelier. I later discovered it is part of an exhibit by artist Raúl de Nieves. I didn't catch everything in the lobby, so you'll have to check it out for yourself. The overall display is pretty neat and is there until December 2026.

One of the best ballparks in the country. Food and drink prices can be astronomical, but they did add some vendors with only $4 items which was nice. This includes refillable sodas, which was a big win for hot days.

We took my son to his first baseball game at the Camden Yards where we watched the Orioles and Athletics play. On Sundays, following the end of the game, they allow children to run the bases. My son had a blast. The stadium is incredibly nice and has a very lovely kids play area. The food was reasonable in price and decent in quality. Overall, I was incredibly impressed. They had a lot of technology to make purchasing items much easier, and there were plenty of staff to help accommodate the customers needs.

A great venture with outstanding staff! There is a plethora of food choices; prices are comparable to other major sporting facilities. Attended games there annually since the park opened in April 1992. Have had the pleasure of sitting in nearly every section, to include upper boxes and suites. There is not a bad seat in the house!

The park is easy to navigate and the staff are very friendly if you have questions. The sensory room is a welcome addition we took advantage of. It was just the right size and sound level. Would highly recommended seeing a game.

Great time at the ballpark and got to share multiple times with family and friends. The crowd was very engaging and even got a baseball card from Fancy Clancy the beer man with over 50 years of service. Sad he season is over

I had a great time at Camden Yards watching the Orioles take on the Texas Rangers. This stadium definitely lived up to the hype and delivered a really fun atmosphere from start to finish. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the Birdland Value Menu. It’s such a great feature and makes enjoying classic ballpark food much more affordable. You can grab $4 hot dogs, pretzels, and nachos, plus $5 Vizzy’s and more. It’s a smart and fan-friendly touch that I wish more stadiums offered. We also had a fantastic view from our seats, and the park itself had a great variety of unique food options. I’d definitely recommend trying the Local Fries, the Cheesie, and the Crab Cake Sandwich. All three were delicious and worth checking out. Overall, Camden Yards is a beautiful ballpark with a lively, welcoming atmosphere. I’d absolutely recommend it to any baseball fan.

Camden yards is the 15th stadium I have been to, LOVED it! Easy to find my way around, the fans were friendly, the hot dogs were the best. Great experience! And I got a Hawaiian shirt!

What a fantastic learning experience for kids and adults. Such great exhibits to expand children's understanding of the world around them and get them learning and having fun at the same time. Worth the trip. My 12 and 8 year old boys enjoyed their time here.

overall best experience - we went to a show with Jalen and Emily and they made our entire day, we got to explore a lot, and ended up sewing monsters with the help of jessie. everyone there went above and beyond when we needed help with things and everyone was extremely knowledgeable when we had questions. this experience has me wanting to buy their seasonal pass for the year

Went as a chaperone for a kindergarten school trip. The kids had a blast. Three floors of areas the kids could explore from the dino exhibit, kinetic energy, and more. There was more than enough for the kids to stay engaged for several hours and parents as well.

This is a nice-sized science museum to explore. There are three full levels of exhibits, as well as a planetarium. There is a cafe, eating area, and gift shop. You could easily spend most of the day here. And it is in a lovely, scenic area of kf the inner harbour.

I am very disappointed with science center. Me and my daughter which is homeschooled bought tickets to event but got the days mixed up. Now on any given day the museum is pretty much empty.. the homeschool events we have attend ended …which they claim to sell out fast had about 3 other homeschool in them. For a museum that pretty much need good reviews and more attendance seems to me would be a bit more accommodating and understanding. But no they weren’t. No exchanges offered… forget a refund which I was no asking for. So sorry have a good day is pretty much what they told us. Would not recommend paying to come here… so disappointing.

Parking was a little tricky but we found public parking down the road by the restaurant near the water. It was a few minutes walking distance. I think we picked a day where many schools scheduled a field trip at the end of the school year. It was a zoo with kids running around all over the place with not enough adult chaperones. We made the best of it.

The Maryland Science Center is Way Cool ! Dinosaur Lovers expect the best in excitement. Many fine details including the electric exhibits what an hair raising opportunity. Fun for everyone just a very exciting place.

A small but really nice zoo. The old (no longer used) exhibits up front are a cool piece of history. Some areas need updating but the newer exhibits are clearly well thought out & spacious. The penguin area was especially nice. If only it had been a bit cooler for our visit! (See our prairie dog photo for a good example of the heat.)

We love this Zoo! I’ve been going since I was a child and now sharing the zoo with my kids brings back so many memories. I love the “walk through the zoo’s past” to see the small cages they once were held to compare to the large habitats that have been created. Free parking is a plus. Food is a bit expensive but they offer gluten free options which was a nice surprise. Looking forward to another trip in November, they offer free field trips to homeschoolers which we are finally taking advantage of. Great way to spend the day outdoors learning about the animals and observing them.

To begin with, there is a long walk from the gate to see the animals. There seemed to be a lot of construction and renovation happening to the exhibits. Due to this, there seemed to be quite a few animals off exhibit. Most habitats only had 1 or 2 animals in them. The zoo was clean and fun, just not sure it's worth visiting again.

I legitimately love this zoo. I have only come here a few times in my life and the previous time I was here was years ago but honestly I had a lot of fun this time around. They have so many interesting animals, historical architecture, a pretty nice train ride and even some really well themed sections. It’s very clear they’re going out of their way to modernize and do what’s best for these animals. I did see One elephant that looked like he wasn’t doing so well but The zoo is probably still doing what they can to take care of the poor creature. I wholeheartedly recommend checking out this zoo even if the area around the park doesn’t look particularly the safest. Then again that’s the case with a lot of good zoos. I will definitely come again.

We come to this zoo most years and always enjoy ourselves. This year had some extra exhibits closed for maintenance and new ones in the works but we still have a good time anyways. The pending we're very active this year, and we saw the baby giraffe which was nice too. The polar bears have bears have been missing for a few years so that is the most disappointing, but otherwise worth a trip.

The only issue is they need more animals, other than that this is the cleanest zoo I have ever been too ! The food was fresh and delicious, the rides and outside activities were up and active, face painting, toy riding, penguin shows , all kinds of great stuff that not only kids would enjoy but so would adults. I had a bawl and would be back for sure. Also you can purchase your tickets in person & use them for your next visit 😉

My family had a wonderful time at the zoo! We got to see some wonderful animals that aren't in zoos around our area. Admission was a bit pricey but snacks and drinks weren't too badly priced. We did stop at Oasis Food and Drink by the giraffes and elephants for snacks and drinks. They were out of a lot of stuff or things weren't working. The guy that was running the register was doing everything while a guy stood to the back and only messed with putting pretzels in the cooker. Overall a wonderful day seeing animals and learning about them!

This is a great children's museum. The design and safety of this place are outstanding. It has so many activities for children of all ages. The giant slide in the middle of the building is one of the best features here. The Egyptian area was good for children and adults alike. My only complaint is that the entry fee of 25 dollars is not worth for the accompanying adults and feels a bit excessive when both parents visit with a single child. They should consider at least halving the adult entry fee.

We came here with my 3 year old, she had a blast! We spent most of the day there (we left to get lunch as there isn't a cafe on site) She was a little small for the large slide which was a shame. She loved the art corner and the water play section. All toilet facility were clean. It is a bit on the expensive side but it was nice to do something just for her as we'd drag her around sightseeing! However if you consider we spent the whole day there and didn't want to leave it was worth it. Overall a nice day out for young kids.

Excellent place for kids. My 6 and 8 year old boys happily spent over 5 hours here and could've easily stayed longer!!! Not to miss if you're in Baltimore with children. Parking in convenient, with a garage connected to the museum building ; and they give you a half price discount ($15) with a validated ticket.

Port Discovery is an absolute gem! My kids were engaged and entertained for hours. The interactive exhibits are thoughtfully designed, sparking creativity and learning through play. From climbing the incredible three-story SkyClimber to exploring the wonders of water play, there was something for every age and interest. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the museum was clean and well-maintained. It's the perfect place for a family outing, fostering curiosity and making memories. We can't wait to visit again!

We went here for a meet and greet Gabby event for my youngest birthday surprise. Wish they had it some better understanding accommodations and staff. The entire downtown was blocked off for some bicycle event. With that we got there super early and our original plans had to changed because of the blocked area downtown. So with a lot of people not there for there session, they could've let us go on standby or just go in earlier since noone was there. (we had a reservation it was just for later) Instead of anyone being understanding, helpful or like yes sure go to standby (if we wanted to standby we would have to cancel our reserve bands for standby which made NO sense, since noone was there because of the closures.) Like Imma need peoole to use some common sense ro easily say ok you can go to standby and if not everyone come in then u can go, waat fix. Then the meet and greet was 1 picture for 10 seconds and thats it. Then on top of all that the power went out and all day they were running on a generator with no air conditioner. I ended up with a migraine but an ok 5 yr old who seemed to have fun. I did like that you can bring food and eat in the cafeteria area and the lockers are free to rent! They are also installing a new play area so maybe we will go back in a year. I def cant do that again during that bicycle event that closed down all of downtown.

This is a great place to bring kids to enjoy hands-on exhibits through various types of play. There are three full levels of rooms to explore, as well as a large play area in the middle. There may not be as much for older kids (11+), but it will depend on their interests. There is a cafeteria, but you can only purchase snacks from vending machines. It is best to bring your own food, or you can leave and buy something nearby and return - your admission bracelet allows you to come and go for the entire day. Overall, a clean and fun place where you could easily spend half a day or more. There is parking nearby.

My kids absolutely love this place! We usually go early, which I would recommend. There’s so much for them to do, they could stay busy the entire day. The art station is really cool because you can do it with them. Overall, we have always had a very good experience here. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My kids would love to go here every single weekend if they could!

Many things to read and learn. Free audio tour adds really nice insight into what you're seeing. Staff is helpful and will answer questions about the exhibit. I recommend for adults.

We visited during a community free admission day, and it was a wonderful visit! Even living here in the city, I find the museum somewhat hard to describe -- it's about industry, yes, but I think I would think about it more like a history museum of Baltimore with a specific slant to it. My personal favorite was the exhibit related to printing; if you visit on a weekend they have a working 1930 linotype machine! (The linotype machine was designed here in Baltimore, and revolutionized the printing process.) The volunteers were so kind about answering so many of our inane questions. I also liked the Domino Sugar sign remnant, which is positioned right in contrast to the current signage in the window, which is fun. The museum complex itself is very cool, too; it's a former oyster cannery but it's got beautiful views right on the waterfront.

Came here with my friends on a middle school 8th grade end of year trip a few weeks ago. It was really cool to see how the machines shaped Baltimore and learn some interesting things. The history part me and the boys thought was super boring so we walked off as the teacher was talking to the group and did our own thing. We looked at some of the cool exhibits and machines they have and we even saw a bakery. We told our female teacher Mrs smith to get in the kitchen where she belongs and bake us some bread. Back in those days that’s where a women belonged is in the kitchen while us men put hair on our chest and busted our ass by a hot furnace is some steel mill or something like that. She wasn’t too happy we disrespected her like that but we didn’t care. Me and the boys Connor, nick, Ryan and Alex went off exploring and got lost in the museum. Some staff members helped us find our way around and were super friendly, knowledgeable and nice. They explained some of the exhibits and equipment in a much less boring way than our teachers did. We were so happy to actually have fun learning and get the teachers off our asses for a good hour or so. Then me and the boys went to the bathroom and splashed each other with water on the crotch and made it look like we peed ourselves. The teachers were gutted by our behavior but we had fun so YOLO FAM 😂. Would I recommend this place ? Absolutely it’s amazing and a lot to learn. If u come as a family set aside a good 4 hours because their is a lot to see and learn here.

I had a really good time visiting the BMI I was there for the Black Azz flee and the Juneteenth event. It was a cool oasis. I will be back to enjoy this place again. I really like the neon lights . I want one of those totes.

Great information awesome staff. So will be back to check out other tours.

It's kind of too early to give feedback,; I'm still flying high. I loved the layout of the museum and the basic explanations on all books the exhibits. My son and I are going back, but this time without his classmates.

I had a lovely visit. If you are in BMore you should definitely visit the museum. I really enjoyed the plantarium. I learned about Cere the dwarf plant I never knew about.

We had a great experience. My son loved all the trains they have there. Super well maintained. Super clean and super organized. Staff was amazing. We went on the 30 min train ride and it was amazing. There is a café with delicious options and a gift store with lots of good a good stuff with great prices. The museum has free parking for the visitors . We had a great time there.

I had a great experience, first time I've been to the museum. Such a great atmosphere. Youre encouraged to wander and learn. Many exhibits are interactive in some way. The staff was amazing and happy to share their passion. I highly reccomend you visit. I consider the ticket to be a bargain for as much fun as I had!

My son is an adult with autism. He loves trains. He'd been excited for a month for our trip. He was is heaven seeing all of the incredible trains. All the employees were very kind and very informative. This is an incredible place to go. Highly recommend it

This museum has an amazing array of trains. They were displayed well in an organized logical fashion in the beautiful round house. There was a very interesting variety of trains outside in the yard and in the maintenance building. The explanations were concise and comprehensive. It was fun to be able to go into some of the trains. The model train sets, history of the underground, and play areas for kids make this an amazing display of the history of trains. I very highly recommend this museum for anyone, train buff or not.

This museum was outstanding. We loved seeing all the trains but the highlight was the tour of their repair facility. Amazing detail, inside and outside, and seeing the tooling was incredible. Would love to go back and spend more time.

We visited the museum on sunday 10/26. Beautifully maintained museum! The staff (mother and son :-) were knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. We truly enjoyed our visit and learned so much—thank you!

What tremendous fun! I particularly appreciated the Underground Railroad exhibit. It was beautifully done. Riding the train was a lovely little exercise in history, and getting to explore the space was fantastic. 10/10!

Great experience, it was a little warm but only because they had a power shortage and the electricity was just turned back on. Lots of Black Maryland history and their gift shop has a lot of cute things I wanted. If you have never been, definitely check it out.

This is a wonderful black history museum that centers on the culture in Maryland as well as the plight of black Americans in the South. The second floor of the museum has a section that is dedicated to the achievements of Mr. Lewis as a great black American businessman. It’s worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Celebrates the legacy of Reginald Lewis and African American history and culture in Maryland. A must see if you visit Baltimore.

We had such a good time, we're thinking 🤔 about chartering buses to bring Brooklynites to Baltimore for some TITAN grit. We were only able to take in the 3rd floor fully. The exhibits are so powerfully informative. We're definitely coming back for PART II and III.

Visited 04/13/25 Very cool place. 3 levels of African American history. Highlighting the milestones and achievements with such rich history. Plenty to read, memorabilia and hand made quilts in a nice, clean building inside and out. Well worth the $12 admission.

9/12/2024 I loved this place it was very informational i learned so much about my ppl that i didn't already know. I loved all of the exhibits even though all of them weren't open it was still a large amount that was. This isn't a museum you should rush through take you time and take it all in and you wont be disappointed with you experience. I would definitely go back to see what i couldn't see when i was there. I went when it first opened so it was really no one in there which was perfect i got to stay at each exhibit as long as i wanted with no interruptions..

Some precious soul researched every recorded local lynching (and there were thousands of these hate crimes across the U.S), and procured dirt from each location. There is a sobering memorial room with a name and description of each person and story represented. I appreciate the focus on local history, and the breadth of information. I was a little disappointed that there weren’t more actual artifacts from locals like Frederick Douglass, who worked the ship yards around the corner, or Harriet Tubman. There is a copy of the North Star, but I think it’s a replica. There are some artifacts, for sure. I just felt it was heavy on the replicas and informational plaques.

If you’re looking for a spot that offers a new perspective on Baltimore, the Top of the World is definitely worth checking out. I recently visited the observation deck on the 27th floor of the Baltimore World Trade Center, and I was absolutely blown away by the views. The panoramic skyline of the city, paired with views of the Inner Harbor and even the Chesapeake Bay on a clear day, is truly a sight to behold. It’s one of those places where you can’t help but feel awestruck by how beautiful the city is from up high. Unfortunately when we visited most of things were under construction or renovations but still we enjoyed the view

Great views with informative displays throughout the 27th floor. Got a cool experience with a police helicopter fly by! Prices were very reasonable and if you have some extra time in your itinerary, I definitely recommend a visit.

It was an amazing experience taking the elevator ride up to the 27th floor of The World Trade Center Observation Deck Baltimore. The views were absolutely breathtaking and very beautiful. So sad that the 27th floor is closing at the end of the month, it's gonna be a loss for The Inner Harbor especially when they get to see the beautiful views from atop.

My first time in Baltimore! This place you need to visit! Breathtaking views! Nice personal. Also good place to hide from the heat! It won’t take much time to spend there but I was just sitting there and enjoying the view. Go on week days, it’s gone be less people there.

The Top of the World Observatory is not all that high up in the sky, which is why we've never paid to go up to the top. Our suggestion to get great views of the Inner Harbor is to grab drinks or dinner at Bygone instead. That establishment is located at the top of the Four Seasons hotel. It's higher in the sky, has amazing atmosphere, and gives a much better view of the Inner Harbor, in our opinion.

Neat observation deck above the harbor, very reasonable admission of 8 dollars. You definitely get your money's worth here. Great views in all directions and they have some displays of the area as well as stuff from 9/11

This was definitely something interesting to do. Purchased tickets from Groupon and paid $8.00 for 2 adults. Definitely would like to go back at night.

The park here is very fun, relaxing. I come here often with my dog, and sometimes bring my nephew. He likes running around at the place, and its just a very relaxing environement to come and unwind at! Its worth checking out.

Beautiful spot with amazing views of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. A great place to relax, take photos, or enjoy a peaceful walk. One of the best scenic overlooks in the city!

Great place to relax, walk and see the city Nice park and well maintained road Very steep on the grass so it hurts to sit for a long time. It is a good place to see the city and july 4th fireworks. I would recommend right before the sunset for the view

Beautiful park within the chaos of Downtown. Pet friendly. Good air. Park feels like it's actually on the hill. The view is fantastic, I've attached photos from the top of the park. The only downside is the washroom which wasn't available there. Recommended!

Nice park overlooking the harbor downtown Baltimore. Lots of people and dogs and we also saw a Quinceañera photo shoot going on.

Stunning Views Many reviewers highlight the panoramic views of the Inner Harbor, city skyline, waterfront — especially at sunrise/sunset. Airial +3 Baltimore City Parks +3 Tripadvisor +3 Because it is elevated, the scenery is one of the top draws.

Nice place to bring the children, let them run around and play, and the adults can relax and watch the city skyline. Baltimore City Skyline is so beautiful.

If you are a baseball fan it will be worth the $15 for the memorabilia alone. Being a Ruth fan or Yankees fan will just enhance the experience. If you are in town for a game or just have an hour or two its worth the visit. The time goes by as you look at the displays. You can go through quickly in like 20 minutes if you speed read or skip some of the displays with vids.

Went to go visit The Sultan of Swag, The Colossus of Clout, The King of Crash, The Great Bambino, George Herman Ruth’s birthplace. Me and my dad took our sweet time reading everything and enjoying all of his greatness. Definitely recommend going and learn something.

If you're a true baseball fan this isn't a place for you. I walked out after reading "Babe Ruth is the greatest ball player of all time". Any true fan knows it's actually JOSH GIBSON. He surpassed Babe Ruth in many stats. In fact it can even be said that Babe Ruth was the white Josh Gibson. I hope they have stuff about Jackie Mitchell, women who struck him out in an exhibition game. Anywho This is perfect for Babe Ruth fans for sure though. They'll LOVE it!

At $15 per person, not expensive, but if you bring a family of 5, it's $75. Obviously as Babe's birthplace, it was a lower class row house that he left well before he was famous, so there isn't much memorabilia - there's far more in the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Yankees Museum. In fact, there is more Baltimore sports memorabilia than Ruth memorabilia. But it's 2 blocks from Oriole Park, so how can you not go?

I enjoyed the museum. I would encourage any baseball fan to come and enjoy the legacy of the greatest player to play the game. I was not a impressed with Baltimore. Our Uber didnt feel safe driving.

Small museum with many historical artifacts from the Great Bambino's career as well as other gems from Orioles history.

Love baseball and love history? This is the place to be. The golden days, rich with the things that made the game as good as it gets.

1rst impressions is lots to eat and see every vendor takes pride in what they are serving and and love what they do only problem I had was I ordered a crab cakes from fadleys and just picked a random spot to eat it based on previous markets I have been too Like Pikes Place in Seattle,Reading terminal Market in Philly and Historic Market in South Carolina,All great Markets and food and people so, when I say I just picked a random spot to eat in had no idea a sloppy, ignorant,miserable vendor would tell me I cant eat here,then proceeded to make a comment about me also having fadleys which I was eating at the time, little did he know my wife actually was deciding pizza or tacos so I told her screw his pizza and I was on vacation nice customer service.Other than that very cool vendor I had also grabbed Some great food from Sweet Peas Southern Kitchen friendly fast and great soul food

This is such a great market to be in with a good selections of quality restaurants including delicious fried chicken, fresh juice shop, large bakery, mini donuts, fresh seafood and meats, candy shop, and more. Atmosphere: open, spacious, not super clean but not bad, and it’s visible the staff are actively cleaning after people made mess in bathrooms, on the steps or in the eating area. This is a generally safe place, but still, stay alert to your surroundings. Value: good price on most of the foods we ordered included sandwiches from sunnyside, fried chicken and liver from super fried chicken or pastries from the market bakery. Service: friendly people from staff to shop owners. Location: convenient, with many options of parking garage and street parkings. Definitely recommend.

Haven't been to Lexington Market maybe since 2010. So to see it remodeled, it looked Amazing. Definitely a vibe. I love that they have all different cultures of food. I will most certainly be back!

Haven't been in years and I see why. Some of my favorite spots are gone. Parks fried chicken is outside across the street now and a 4 piece chicken box with fries costs 10$ !!!...... Chicken boxes used to be accessible to poor people....smh

Fun place to walk around and explore different food options. We ate a Faidley's and also had a crapdip covered pretzel and downstairs had berger cookies. Wish I had bought more than one! The neighborhood was the only place we were approached for money and cigarettes,but otherwise we enjoyed the market. People inside were kind other than at Faidley's.

I remember as a kid, my mom used to bring me here. Now, about 50 years later, I came to check this place out. It’s in a new location but you can still find plenty of choices to eat and purchase fresh seafood. Got a little bit turned around finding this place. Even though we were in downtown Baltimore and the areas and folks looked a bit rough, they were friendly and helpful.

I went here to have breakfast and walked around checking out the other businesses. There is plenty to choose from and the prices are really reasonable. I tried Sunny Side Cafe, B'more Twist, and Super Fried Chicken. You won't be disappointed!

Wow what a beautiful library. It is immense and really intriguing. The upper levels are not accessible. There are really old books here and there is a librarian who can get books that you want checked out and you would only allowed to read it in front of him and then return it to him before leaving. The main level, is for anyone wanting to study in this beautiful library. There are some books, but most are just strapped closed because they are so old they are literally falling apart.

I’ve photographed weddings in many beautiful spaces, but the George Peabody Library is truly unforgettable. Towering stacks of books, a warm golden glow, and a stunning spiral staircase make it breathtaking for both ceremonies and receptions. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, and being steps from Mount Vernon means even more gorgeous portrait spots. After capturing over 200 weddings since 2012, I can confidently say this venue blends historic beauty, romance, and atmosphere like no other. I can’t wait to be back in this magical library. 📚✨ @amypaperbird

A stunning library open to the public! I think I saw it on an Instagram add and have had it on my list since then so I was pleasantly surprised to be visiting Baltimore. I’ve been in other pretty libraries like this where you had a bit more access and would have loved to be able to walk around more than just the bottom to peruse some more. The lighting isn’t quite as advertised either but I’m not complaining. I spent some time at one of the tables just soaking in the beauty. Definitely worth the stop for me.

Very impressive library. It definitely is something to visit if you visit Baltimore. If you like architecture and being taken back in time, this is a place you should visit.

This is a truly iconic and beautiful library, and it is one of my favorite places to study. The lighting is great (calming in a way), and there are many outlets in each study nook. This library is nearly perfect, with the only flaw being the hours. I wish there were weekend hours, and I wish it's open a bit later. As much as I love it here, I frequently use the nearby Enoch Pratt Central Library for that reason.

Absolutely stunning, completely unaware Peabody and Hopkins were buddies. Free admission, 2 hour limit parking found a spot right away. Beautiful park across and not to mention a church with stunning architecture. A serene place outside and inside just beautiful.

Often said to be one of the most beautiful libraries in the country, it's worth a visit. Paid street parking is easy to find nearby. Open during the day every day except Friday and Saturday, walk inside. When you see the check-in area, go left for a little exhibit space and the door to the library. It's very large with stunning design. You can't go up any stairs so stay on the ground floor, keeping quiet out of respect to the people studying.

I found out about this museum when I received a $3 off coupon to attend. I went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't crowded. The museum is very educational and offers a lot of displays of historical black figures. I had a great afternoon and will be back again. There's even a complimentary parking lot on the side of the building.

Visited 04/13/25 While we had fun and enjoyed it, the museum is in bad shape as it appears they lack funding to do upgrades. The inside it is dated and dirty. Some of the exhibits were missing all together or missing parts. They’re using printed papers instead of a plaque to show information on each person. Some of the suits are very oversized, one had green looking hands which did not look realistic at all. Price was $18 dollars when Reginald Lewis museum nearby only charges $12. Lewis blew this one out of the water. However, I did enjoy it and learned quite a bit. It’s cool but don’t expect to be blown away.

Let me tell you, this spot is not to be played with. It’s raw, unfiltered, and makes the National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC look like Disney Land. Caucasians in our current political environment ain’t ready for a place like this. I can only imagine the impact it must’ve had on folks back in its hay day. I hope they keep working on the updated museum project because many of the wax figures displayed have seen better days. However, still a profound impact when you see some of the horrors inflicted on our people. I took a few photos but out of respect won’t post the graphic stuff. A must see exhibit nonetheless.

10/10 a must visit! This museum tell Our story and brings Black History to life in a way I.had never experienced before. Thank you for careful and respectfully telling our story and inspiring my family.

There is so much history in this building ! The guide was informative and guided the tour .I wasn't expecting to be so emotional but the art really depicts the story and tugs on your soul ! Thank you for painting the whole picture of the dark we went through and the light and fight we have within our melanin

It's been 30 years since my first visit. Glad to bring my children to take in this important history. Hoping much success to the expansion project.

Very moving and educational. Explores Black history through time and thematically.

Had a wonderful time at Historic Ships in Baltimore! The tour was informative and well-organized. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making the experience even better. The ships are beautifully preserved and offer a unique glimpse into history. Definitely worth a visit for history enthusiasts and families alike!

Ships were neat to see and walk around inside. The USS Constellation was my favorite you can walk all through it. They have a cutter that was in the battle for Pearl Harbor which was awesome to see. The submarine was neat to walk through but watch your head! Would be neat to see more people in and around the ships to point out some neat things you might not usually see.

Our grandson loves ships and planes so we took him to Baltimore's Inner Harbour on Sat July 26, 2025. . We hit the science center and then toured the ships at the Harbour. Each ticket consisted of 4 ships to tour. Adult price was $22 each. Children 5 and under are free... I told the the guy at the counter we need two adult tickets and our grandson is 5. Before the guy could even push a button.... our grandson was like " no, I'm 6 pop". OK lol I guess he's 6 now. Lmfao. So, since I didn't save $10 lol our total was about $53. The tickets are for your own self guided tour of 4 ships. Unfortunately, we only did 3 of them. The Constellation, the Chesapeake Lightship and the U.S.S Tursk Submarine. The ships were really cool to see. Our grandson loved it! The Constellation has very narrow floors. Im 6'3 and literally had to walk through it with more than my head down. It's nice to see what things looked like on the boat. The beds , the cabins, the kitchen area and so forth. Some tiny rooms had 5 beds in it!! Im not sure that 5 normal people could even stand in the room at once. Im tall and slim and in no way, could I could have survived. I guess most guys back then were small lol. The Submarine was really interesting. Please be aware, if your over 6'5 , over 200 lbs or over 60 years old this may not be for you. It is small to maneuver through and requires some good hand - eye coordination and some good bones lol. The Chesapeake Lightship was the only one that seemed to have room to walk through. However, all of them had some small steep steps. Please be careful not to hit your head. From the top of the ships you are presented with some nice views. We didnt encounter many other people there. Maybe a few but not many. It was over 95 degrees the day we went so there wasnt a ton of people outside like us lol. The tickets last all day I believe. You can take pictures, read all the information boards, move slow and take your time if you can. Im rating the historic ships of Baltimore tours a 5 out of 5 stars. It was worth the money... especially if your able to tour all 4 ships.

Probably the most unique and the best-value-for-money attraction in Baltimore. For an entry fee of 22 dollars you can visit 4 different warships at your time of convenience. The order of ships staring from the best in my opinion are: USS Torsk (submarine), USS Constellation (a sail-only warship), U.S Coast Guard Cutter (USCGC) 37, and LS-116 Chesapeake (a lightship). Visiting a submarine's interior would be a first experience for many. USS Constellation with all its majestic cannons was a great feast to the eyes. USS Constellation still does a demo of firing a cannon - of course, it is done without a projectile. We took 3 days, in between visiting other attractions, to visit all 4 ships. Their flexible entry rules also makes it interesting when you visit each ship, and also keeps sensory overload and fatigue at bay (no pun intended?).

No wait and had most of the ship to myself. Was able to spend time reading all the stories. Ship was in excellent shape, restrooms were clean and a good giftshop. They have a pass for 25 bucks to see 4 ships in the bay, I highly reccomend doing that it was a great value.

This was beyond fantastic. It was so historically interesting. The guides on each ship were very friendly and happy to answer any questions we had. We didn't have time to hit all four ships, but what's awesome is that we have up to a year to go back and catch what we didn't see. It is a bit of a hike, so wear comfy walking shoes. But its totally worth every step!

The Historic Ships in Baltimore is an incredible stop for anyone interested in maritime history, and visiting during Fleet Week made the experience even better. One of the most fascinating ships on display is the Chesapeake, a former lighthouse ship that played a crucial role in guiding vessels through dangerous waters. Built in 1930, the Chesapeake braved some of the fiercest storms, including a hurricane in 1936 where the anchor chain snapped, forcing the crew to drop a spare anchor and run full steam ahead just to stay on station. It’s amazing to think about the skill and bravery required to serve on such a vessel in these conditions. The ships themselves are well-preserved, and walking along the decks gives you a real sense of their history. The Chesapeake, with its advanced diesel-electric power and signaling technology for the time, ensured the safety of countless ships over the decades. For national park passport collectors, they even have stamps for the ships, which adds a fun touch to the visit. The whole experience was well worth it, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Baltimore. Whether you’re a history buff or just looking for something unique to do, you can’t go wrong with the Historic Ships Museum. They also had a submarine and other older clipper ships.

I recently attended the Browns vs. Ravens divisional rivalry game at M&T Bank Stadium on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The stadium itself is a really nice venue, but what truly stood out were the concessions. My dad had mentioned that the stadium had introduced "Flock Friendly" pricing. At times, he seemed more excited about the new concession prices than the game and I could definitely understand why. I was able to get pretzel bites and a soda for less than $7, a significant change from other venues where a bottle of water alone can cost that much. They also offered hot dogs, pulled chicken sandwiches, popcorn, and more for under or around $5 each. This was my first time at the stadium, and aside from the Browns losing, it was a great experience from start to finish.

Beautiful Stadium & Great Fans. Baltimore hosting Detroit on MNF and only being 8 hours away was a YES for me. First time Lions won here in Baltimore in 20 years. We enjoyed the fireworks, big screens, half time show featuring Good Charlotte. Loved the light up bracelets, combine that with a beautiful fall evening, I gotta admit, I had a blast. Food & Drink lines moved very slowly & pops were flat, my only knock. Hats off to the Baltimore faithful, you guys hosted a great party & we won’t soon forget our trip to see the Baltimore Ravens. R-A-V-E-N-S Gooooo Ravens!

My first time. What an excellent venue. Really exciting. The band was excellent. Check them out. The light show was amazing. All powered by wristbands the individuals in the crowd were wearing. Check it out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ M&T Bank Stadium Suite Remodel – Absolutely Stunning! The newly redesigned first-level suites at M&T Bank Stadium are absolutely breathtaking! The attention to detail is incredible — from the modern colors and sleek finishes to the spacious, beautifully designed bathrooms. Every element feels luxurious and well thought out. Gensler did an amazing job with the remodel — the design is futuristic, elegant, and truly forward-thinking. It completely elevates the game-day experience. Simply unbelievably gorgeous work all around!

We are Raider fans visiting in the area. We had a great experience last year and again today. Fans are very friendly, stadium is clean. Could use healthier food options throughout.

Awesome facility. I had a great time. Everyone was very kind and friendly. All the staff was extremely helpful and assisting me to find my seat and locate anything that I needed. I am not from Maryland and I felt very welcomed. I cannot wait to go back again.

1st time here for both of us. We had a blast. Glad he was able to attend his team's first home game of the season and of them celebrating 30 years of football.

I always want to go to the Hippodrome! I am glad I made a decision to go while the Lion King is here on tour. It was the best money I spent going to this show. The show performance was very professional. Everything from the props to staging to sounding to performance to the chorgraphy was perfect. I am giving a 4 star because it was very tight and there was no spacing for moving your feet. Or easy access to going to the restroom. But I guess the theater 🎥 at the time of the building wanted to fit as many people as they could in the bleachers. But it's very nice on the outside and inside. There is no parking attached to the building, but it's nearby parking very close by.

Great venue. My wife and I came here to see Josh Johnson, and the experience was very enjoyable. Convenient parking, where I was able to fully charge my vehicle for free. Seating was comfortable and acoustics were very good. The theater itself is beautifully decorated. The $65 I paid for 2 mixed drinks and 2 bags of shareable size M&Ms was a bit much, but that's entertainment. Overall a wonderful outing.

This beautiful theater gave us a wonderful experience in attending "Come From Away." The history and lovely architecture were inspiring and the performance was awesome. Our only problem was the tiny amount of legroom in the balcony seats. I'm hoping seats in other areas have a bit more space.

Great theater to see Broadway shows on national tour. Lots of parking garages nearby. Just check to make sure there isn’t an event at CFG arena the same night as your show as that might make parking and traffic more tricky. It’s a beautiful historic building. My only complaint odd that the seats/rows are quite small/tight. But overall it’s great seeing shows here.

Great theater - very classic feel. We saw Annie, and it was very well done. Minus 1 star because it was very hot (even though the outside temp was in the high 20Fs), and the seats were cramped with very little leg room.

Went her with my daughter and husband. We saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show, it was so much fun. Loved the interaction with the audience and all the fun stuff we got to do to participate.

The Hippodrome is so cool; it's such a beautiful place. We saw Water For Elephants this weekend, and we had such a great time!

It’s a fascinating look into a period of time in Edgar Allen Poe’s life. You get to see how he lived & where he wrote. It gives you a history of his family & his work. It’s very well done & we very much enjoyed every aspect of it.

Small, but very interesting house museum. Lots of great information about Poe and his time in Baltimore. Great peek into 1830's home life of lower middle class. Can't wait to see how museum expands. The reservation system works very well

This is a small but fun part of Poe history. We actually made a day trip into Baltimore to see it (We’re from the Midwest, visiting D.C.). We almost didn’t because of the reviews about the neighborhood, we’d never been to Baltimore before, but it was fine. Maybe it was worse years ago, but I felt I needed to at least review the part that almost kept us from coming. Everyone has a different idea of “bad”, however, we had zero issues and I’ve seen really “bad” areas in Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Chicago, this was nothing compared to that. If you practice common sense… you’ll be fine! Anyway, the staff was friendly and you can tell that they care about Edgar Allan Poe! Our visit started with info of the outside and the area. We moved inside and the staff was available for questions… but also had facts to give. It’s not a real tour, as it’s just too small, but the staff seemed knowledgeable. There are actual Poe artifacts there… and he did live there, regardless what some negative reviews claim. It is small, but to go is to love Poe, history, or both. There’s plenty to read and just seeing a period house is cool enough! I think that if you love Poe… you should go! The history of him and the area is cool. It’s not a huge place but pair it with a quick trip to his grave… and it’s definitely something neat for a Poe fan! We were also told that they will be expanding… so in the future it will even be better!

We were there during Poe Fest and really enjoyed the rapper performing Poe poems as well as the dramatic presentation done by a puppet. The costumes worn by someone the attendees were great at well. The costumed parade was fun too. We had a great time.

Great Author poet... Neat history, building additional parts, was there anniversary of death... Had EA Poe festival going on very fun

Step back in time and get a feel for one of Poe’s creative spaces. Learn about his family tree and life from the knowledgeable guides. It’s a tight space so tours are hourly and limited to about 10-15 people. Reserve ahead of time online. We enjoyed listening to the guide and reading about Poe.

As a Poe fan I had to visit and it did not disappoint. Small, yes, but that's really how it was. No better way to get insight into his life then to see where he lived for a time.

We were disappointed to discover the museum closed on a Monday. We were in Baltimore on a Sunday and Monday and really wanted to visit this museum as part of our trip. We were able to at least stop by and take a look at the outside of the building and the cortyard. Although we might have the chance to return to Baltimore someday, this trip could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I had the best visit to this cute little historic site today. I was able to tour the museum and the home with a self paced audio tour. Admission is only 10$ and it’s a fabulous place to visit for some history about the nation’s flag and the significance of the star spangled banner!

The museum is great! Not only full of good, interesting info but also was a fun place for my kids. They enjoyed the flagpole that they could put up and down. But we all especially enjoyed the house! Great tour! Learned a lot and I was so happy that my kids had a blast!

We held a family gathering at the Flag House Museum and it was a great success! The Museum Director, Chris, handled everything for us including the catering and setup of the private room. He also gave our group a personal tour of the museum and the historic house. I would highly recommend this venue if you are looking for an affordable option for an event!

This museum is very informative, and a great follow-up of you've already been to Fort McHenry.

This is a really special place in Baltimore. It encompasses a museum and historic house with the history of the making of the flag itself (self guided tour) and goes really well with a visit to Fort McHenry! You start the visit with a video which shows the history and events around the flag and also how it came to be commissioned. Following this, there's a small museum which looks at the house and its inhabitants and their lives as well the flag itself and its history through the years (it really is incredible how well it was looked after!). Finally, you get to see inside the house. There's a cell phone tour which you dial in on or else there is a paper version of the tour too with numbered stops. Both times I've visited, I've been the only person there and it's nice to be able to take your time and really look at the rooms and artefacts without being rushed on! There's a small gift shop and the lady on the desk is really lovely and very friendly- well worth a visit! I'd recommend just checking the opening hours before you sit as it's not open daily and does close a little earlier too than other attractions.

This is a nice bit of Baltimore history. There is a convenient parking garage across the street. We spent about an hour here. There’s a small museum exhibit and a self guided tour of the house. Worth checking out if you are in the area.

I've been to this venue a few times now and the most recent being a festival catered for families. It was a fun event with food trucks, performance, and prizes. The overall atmosphere is a chill place to hang with bars all around.

The concert venue was easy to find & conveniently located a walk away from our hotel. Three blocks to be exact. 0.2 miles or a 5 minute walk. We chose to get a Lyft for convenience. We went to the Power Plant Live to see the Never Early Fest. The nearest parking garage to the Power Plant was tricky in that it had very narrow driveway. We got a ride from a friend back to our hotel after midnight, and we notice mirrors on corners used to help prevent cars from colliding against each other in the garage driveway. The car before us on the drive down in the parking garage got hit. It was the first time I ever got stressed in a parking garage, and I was just a passenger. I like how it was easy to find seats outdoors on the second floor balcony with a good view of the main stage, the many & clean bathrooms, and the open air ambience of the venue. Navigating the different stages & areas for different music artists was easy & we were provided assistance/ service with swift efficiency. Some of the stages were indoors at different bars. The main stage was outdoors. The only concerns we had was finding the elevator, the interruptions (people ) & traffic flow blocking concert goers view of performances at one stage area, and not being in a well ventilated areas. We did not eat the food there & only had Diet Coke fountain drinks at a bar. The major highlight of the venue is that we were able to see multiple music artists of different genres on five different stages & places within this concert venue - indoors & outdoors. I would have liked having coffee & white wine options there yet was unable to find them at a bar by the main stage. Overall, we had a spectacular time at The Power Plant Live for The Never Early Fest by Rappolla Entertainment. It was the largest concert music venue we ever went to in our life, and there was very little issues to deal with during the day & night. It really helps significantly to get a hotel room nearby & walk or get a ride to the concert venue. We got to experience many unknown & brilliant music artists and genres at The Never Early Fest - acoustic, 90’s rock, punk, alternative, & folk music - and some of the music artists were from the local Maryland music scene.

My legitimate favorite band that got together for reunion tour, better known as Acid Bath, played a gig at Rams Head Live (correct me if I got the name wrong) and it was amazing. I felt much more comfortable inside the gig which is what I was there for than I did outside of the gig, which is what I would assume was power plant live. The Energy felt quite chaotic, people were kind of rude, pushy, and not as courteous as you would hope. I'm a wheelchair user so at least I can say that it was accessible to get in there, however I have a good amount of experience using my wheelchair and I can absolutely confirm that not all Mobility devices such as a power chair, are going to fit into certain places in the area. Not to mention just the fact that it's extremely crowded, and pretty loud. Overall I got to see my favorite band wish I never thought would happen in my lifetime so I'm happy.

It's an awesome venue that is set up like its own side street. All the cool little bars and restaurants are nice too. On the main stage it's nice having two bars right there and the sound system was super good. Overall love the area and the venue definitely will be coming back when Svdden Death does Nevermore again!! Another thing I liked is how you can overlook the main stage from upstairs and it offers a really great view.

That was the big dill festival. It was fantastic! Thousands of people. It seemed like hundreds of vendors. Live music. Contests, it was super cool. I'll be sure to get to the next one. I had a great time.

Was able to see the man Mr. Clinton and his show didnt disappoint me and my wife at all. We rock and roll all night long. We sang most of the songs. It wasna great event. The place is not to bad either. This concert was a standing concert, still good to rock and roll

Pizza Is so delicious here. They even have a vegan ice cream and bread pudding. It's to die for. Love the venue. Only is a slight complaint mosh pits or dangerous cuz the ground isn't level and I even met someone that spraying their ankle and I rolled it a little bit too. But always a great time. Always have a blast! Besides that.

As a fan of Edgar Allan Poe's work, this was a must-stop when I visited Baltimore. The historical burial grounds dating back to the late 1700's are easily accessible from the street & there is ample public parking nearby. Be respectful of the property as you walk through this small and peaceful cemetery nestled around the grounds of Westminister Presbyterian Church. The Edgar Allan Poe house is also fairly close by, but you DO want to book a tour for that location well in advance as guided tours are limited and sell out quickly.

My partner and I first time in Baltimore Maryland and our first historic stop was Edgar Allan Poe's grave site was a fantastic experience it was not spooky but fun! Good reading never goes out of style.

If you're a fan of Poe and his work you need to stop by if you're in the area. Paying respects to my favorite author, one who molded much of my personality and quirks as a young kid, was absolutely worth the slight inconvenience of paying $2 and walking a block. The gothic naturen of the church and grounds are gripping to anyone who who consider themselves a fan. I love graveyards. This one was unique as it was the 1st I've seen built over, creating catacombs in under the foundation... I'd didn't know I was missing a quiet meditation in a cemetery, till after I sat quietly to reflect and pay respects to the permanent residents.. countless child graves remind us of the fragility of life and the hardship of past times. Seeing these deeply weathered memorials reminds me how unimportant the heartaches , dreams, loves, deceptions, and traumas we carry are in the scope of time. When we're gone none it will matter... So before then I'm going to dismiss the painful and lamentable issues of life as irrelevant and fleeting... I'm gonna remember to enjoy the small things in life and celebrate the day to day blessings I disregard and forgot are what make life matter. If you're a fan of the macabre, a lover of gothic life, a fan of his works, or just happened to be wandering in the area you won't regret spending 30 minutes to an hour contemplating quietly....( It's free if you're broke or cheap) Hope you walk away in agreement with me and decide to fret over life's disappointments "quothe the raven, "nevermore"." Run Home Ares.

If you've read the other reviews about Edgar Allan Poe's grave, you've probably already learned everything you really need to know: easy to access, well-maintained, very moving experience, roses and notes left on the headstone, original burial site out back. My daughter lives in Baltimore, and from the moment I learned she was moving there, I couldn't wait to visit this famous literary site with her. While some mothers read their daughters Little Golden books or stories of Disney princesses, I read my daughter The Cask of Amontillado. We both have Poe tattoos. This was a big deal to us to visit this site together for the first time. I'm not really sure what I expected to encounter. To me, Poe is larger than life. Surely there are guards and gates and all these other things to keep people from doing anything that might in any way disrupt these magnificent grounds! But no. Quite the opposite. It's very accessible. It's marked, but if you're not really looking for it, you could easily miss it. It's actually very modest considering that we're talking about Edgar Allan Freakin' Poe (not his legal name). I live in Buffalo, not far from where Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) was buried in Elmira. I also live very near to some other famous gravestones not associated with authors (Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo is home to the final resting places of rocker Rick James, former President Millard Fillmore, and inventor of the electric chair Alfred P Southwick). I give you this brief history so you know that this is not my first time visiting the gravesite of a very well-known person. Still, I was incredibly taken aback by the ease at accessing Poe's grave. It's pretty peaceful here too - not at all touristy, I'd say (unless I just happened to go on a day when fortuned smiled upon me!). It would be a great place to sit and read, think, draw, or paint. A quick tip: If you have a problem walking hills, I'd recommend getting someone to drop you off at the site. It's in a slightly hilly area and there's no really convenient place to park nearby. "Enough," he said; "the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough." (The Cask of Amontillado)

Very important historical site worth your time. Make sure you go all the way to the back of the cemetery to his original burial site and to see some of the older graves!

This place is really amazing we're from Indiana and I've always wanted to visit the east coast and See more of Baltimore and learn and see throughout history of Edgar Allan Poe. These stories are amazing you can spend hours reading some of the Tombstones and see the dates back in time, always wondering what it would be like to have live in this country around this time. Highly recommend stopping by the cemetery to look around, and touch history

A must see for all Edgar Allan Poe fans, or historians. Whether you are a fan of literature or not. It's worth a few minutes of your time.

I went on a rainy day but most of the museum and tour are in the inside. There is the main museum and then a synagogue on either side. The main building has two exhibits and a gift shop. Make sure you check out the gift shop before they close as they close promptly on the dot. They had jewelry, mezuzahs, kids toys, etc. I unfortunately did not get to check it out as I ran out of time. The main exhibit (Voices of Lombard Street) is a tour around a Jewish neighborhood area and a personal visit to a Jewish home and deli. Very personal details and definitely informative. Be prepared to read a lot. The second exhibit was Blacklist The Hollywood Red Scare. I did not understand nor appreciate this exhibit as much as the other. I saw this last and feel I did not have enough time to read and understand what was going on and how it was related to the Jewish people. I was lucky enough to be there during a scheduled tour time of the synagogues. This was my favorite part. The first one we saw is no longer in use but you hear the history, see some original parts of the building and see the service area. The second synagogue is still in use. It was very intriguing to see the inside as a non Jewish person. I would recommend seeing this even if you are not Jewish. It is a part of history and interesting. We had to walk in the rain for part of the tour but that did not bother me.

Really cool exhibit on the cultures of Lombard Street and the multicultural enclaves in East Baltimore. You would expect to see exhibits mostly on Jewish culture in the area, but the museum did an excellent job detailing the multicultural history of East Baltimore. Focus was on early 20th century Lloyd street area. Learned a lot about the various businesses and life in East Baltimore . Also what appears to be a temporary exhibit on Soviet Jews and the process of bringing the "refusniks" to America. Really identified with that one. Highlight was a synagogue tour of two historic synagogues on Lloyd st. with David, a local who grew up in the area and knows a ton about the history of Judaisim in Maryland and Baltimore. Learned so much! Highly recommended!

Our tour guide Nancy was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and interesting to speak with! Our group was really great too! What wonderful ex

This place was really interesting! We spent about 2.5 hours here, which was more than I expected to for a small museum with only two exhibits, but there’s so much reading to do and the exhibits are really interesting. We came for the Blacklist exhibit but ended up loving the Voices of Lombard Street too. The person who checked us in was very nice.

Great place! I came for the Psychedelicatessen Exhibit, but was enthralled by all of it. Very friendly staff and a quaint atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Went for a friends art show / musical performance and had an absolutely amazing time. Free parking lot right outfront, beautiful courtyard area in a surprisingly calm little nook of the city, and two really cool exhibits! Both the history-based section and the current art installation from young Jewish artists were awesome. Could have stayed much longer - will have to come back again soon!

It was a very enjoyable experience, I had no idea about the Jewish and Italian immigrants early in the history of Baltimore. The synagogues and retellings of earlier stories are very informative and impactful. Our tour guide Joyce was very warm and helpful, narrating buried stories. It was not a big museum, but a very niche place to visit.

Enjoyed another Maritime Magic benefit at Frederick Douglass . What great time. There were a few thousand people there and the crowd never felt too crowded. Perfect setting. Beautiful sunset over the water. Great food and drink. The best was the music. Dumpsta Funk out of New Orleans was funkolicious. Then the show got even better when hometown hero Chris Jacobs joined in. He set the place on fire. Such a great night.

One of the most lovely wedding venues in Baltimore! In addition to the rich history of the location and it's contents, it's in a beautiful place on the harbor to enjoy a plethora of creativity with the right photographer!

We had the best wedding at the Frederick Douglass on October 12, 2025! We were able to have our wedding out on the pier, which was just incredible! Our cocktail hour was on the second floor so our guests could enjoy the museum. Our reception was on the third floor and was absolutely stunning. We have received many compliments on our unique venue and Natalie and her team made this all possible!

More of a black history museum than a maritime museum. The third floor is mostly empty. There’s an outdoor balcony, but it was locked. They have four old ships, but you’re not allowed to go out on the dock. There’s a workshop for maintaining them, but you’re not allowed in.

Weddings at Frederick Douglass Maritime Park are not only unique because they can be held right on the waterfront pier, but because portraits in and around the venue, especially the views taken from the 3rd floor looking out onto the brick courtyard, are incredible! The flow happens seamlessly for guests as they move from the ceremony on the pier into the courtyard for cocktails and then up to the 3rd floor for the reception. Night portraits on the pier are my favorite here! IG: @urbanrowphotography

Visited via the Living Classrooms Field trip program. Brought students on a sailboat field trip to learn about the Chesapeake Bay. Sailing boat not included with museum visit. 😀

Heard about this gem on Samantha Brown Places to Love. It's off the beaten path. Great location. Coffee shops in the area.

Ok, if you told me there was a brewery in a church in the middle of Baltimore I would have said you're a liar. Either way the beers are excellent and the the venue is is amazing! Just chilling in a church and drinking on a Tuesday. Best happy hour I could ask for.

Love going to church ⛪️ now! Very unique & who would have thought of a brewery inside a church?! Glad they made such creative use of the space as it would've been torn down. Our bartenders Jack & Sara were so amazing!!!! If you're visiting or local, check this spot out!

Easily one of the coolest breweries I’ve ever been to. They have so much space because of how large the building is and the concept of renovating a church into a brewery is certainly creative. You could walk right past it on the street without knowing it’s a brewery. As for the interior, there’s plenty of seating options including different seat styles. They have a games corner where you can pick up card and board games as well as books and magazines to look through. I was a big fan of the “wispy” which is light and flavorful, but they have a lot of other good options to try. I was particularly impressed with their sours. If you’ve never been the beer flight is your best starting option!

Such a neatly repurposed use of an abandoned church - a massive labor of love! Beer was solid, and the to-go cans are a great value. Friendly bar staff. Plenty of space to stretch out. Sharp merchandise, too.

What a cool place to have a brewery!! We tried almost everything on the tap between the 4 of us and liked all of it. They have a decent spread from IPAs to Porters to Sours to Gluten-free options. The space is large and not too loud. It's also great for families, even small kids, due to its space and games available.

Really a stellar beer bar with a great assortment of brews. Very spacious, plenty of seating, dog friendly, and not too focused on the latest rendering in brewing. The ESB was exceptional and even the newer fruit forward beers were damn tasty.

Ministry Brewery is an absolute gem! The combination of a unique location, amazing beer, and top-notch customer service makes it a must-visit spot. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, with a beautifully restored setting that adds to the overall experience. The beer selection is fantastic, offering a variety of styles that cater to every palate. Whether you're a fan of crisp lagers, bold IPAs, or rich stouts, there’s something for everyone. Each brew is crafted with great attention to detail, delivering incredible flavor in every sip. Beyond the beer, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to offer recommendations. Their passion for brewing and customer satisfaction truly shines through, making every visit feel special. With its vibrant ambiance, excellent service, and outstanding beer, Ministry Brewery is a place that keeps you coming back for more. Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere and wonderful staff, Geppi's Entertainment Museum is a place I love visiting. There are always new new exhibits coming in and many activities for the whole family. Also the gift shop is well stocked and great deals can be found. Highly recommended!!!

Geppi’s Entertainment Museum was a warm experience, transporting you down memory lane. The exhibits were laid out dramatically and the atmosphere of the old wood paneling and floors seemed to make everything glow with warmth. The most underlying sensory experience was the smell... You could smell the ink and distinctive aroma of the pulp paper, which envelopes you as you tour the museum. Everything about the museum is an enchantment. If you’re into comics and superheroes and Americana literature/entertainment don’t miss this place.

Loved this place when I was here 7 years ago, still love it now. Great displays. They have a Batman exhibit now. Great fun. My daughter loved the Nighmare Before Christmas merchandise in the gift shop.

Hidden gem in Baltimore for anybody who likes pop culture, movies, old tv shows and old comics. Place is not big but has a bit of everything.

Much bigger than I thought it would be. The comic book hall is the main attraction and it does not disappoint.

Great if you like pop culture and comics. Lots of rare items. It'll take you back you whenever your childhood was.

Fun place to visit! Each room is themed to a time period. Brought back lots of good memories.

Great crew but the canned narration was somewhat annoying. Pricey (about $1 per minute) for how short the rides were and only $1 for the senior discount. The views were nice but it's not New York or San Francisco

The Baltimore Water Taxi offers a comfortable and efficient way to travel around the Inner Harbor, combining scenic views with quick access to key waterfront destinations (like Fell's Point, a must go). The boats are clean, well-maintained, and provide a relaxing alternative to city traffic. The service runs smoothly and on time, making it ideal for both tourists and locals. A special mention goes to Roman, whose friendliness and professionalism make the ride even more enjoyable — his courtesy truly enhances the experience.

Sunset harbor cruise was fantastic! Great deal at $20. They took us out past Fort McHenry, then turned around to Inner Harbor, and back to Fells Point. My wife and I had a blast. There were 3 other couples besides us on a Sunday, chill vibes, cool tunes, great views! We were running a bit late and luckily they started about 10 mins late as well. We were able to buy our tickets on board from the friendly staff member.

If you have half a weekend day to cruise around to the stops, I'd recommend seeing the city this way. Safe, fun and informative (make sure to sit in front of the speakers for the history), this was a fun way to get out and get an overview of the city.

We used the water taxi’s private charter service to provide our out-of-town wedding guests with a welcome event. They were extremely easy to communicate with, very flexible about (reasonable) requests, and helpful with my grandmother who is an (ambulatory) wheelchair user. We also found the pricing very transparent and reasonable for the quality of service. We used the Key’s Anthem boat and ended up with a final count of 33 passengers. It was very comfortable, not too crowded and not too sparse. They were able to provide a folding table for us to put appetizer trays on. We provided our guests with canned beer from a cooler we brought on board as well as champagne which we used ordinary bottles and disposable flutes for. Both offerings were easy to display for the guests with the boat’s setup and convenient for guests to enjoy without being too burdened by the “boat” of it all. They also handle your trash for you! Our cruise was beautiful, we made no specific requests about what we wanted to see but they did welcome requests. We also had bluetooth access to play some music from our phone on the boat’s speakers. I hope this is helpful to anyone considering an event with the water taxi! We truly can’t recommend it enough.

We recently hosted a conference in Baltimore with attendees from across the country, and we wanted to give them the best view of the city. The Water Taxi, along with a fantastic local guide, was the perfect choice. Our guests absolutely loved it! The captain and crew were welcoming, professional, and made the experience unforgettable. Leading up to the event, Stacy at the Water Taxi was a joy to work with and made the planning process seamless and stress-free. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I chartered a private water taxi for an activity during my company's retreat. We worked directly with Stacy at Baltimore Water Taxi and she made it super easy! She gave recommendations as to where we should begin and end our ride based on ease of travel to each location. She also gave a recommendation to work with Chris at Baltimore Rent-a-tour for a guided tour on the boat, which was fantastic. My team had a great time on the boat, the crew was professional and helpful and made it fun and easy. 10/10 recommend!

I have been to the facilities a few times for Whiskey on the Waterfront but never have done a tour. I attended a Thursday tour with a friend visiting from out of town. The tour guide Andrew I believe was knowledgeable, energetic and accommodating. The tour was great and ending the tour with the tasting was nice. The group was small so it allot for intimate conversations. I wish there as a coupon given at the end to use in cute gift shop.

5 Stars – Amazing Experience at Sagamore Distillery! I had such a fantastic time on the Sagamore Distillery tour in Baltimore, and our guide, Lars Olsen, was incredible. He explained everything in detail and was so present with us that once I started asking questions, the whole group got really engaged. Even though time was running out, Lars stayed attentive to all our questions and even took pictures for us. The tasting portion was excellent. Lars guided us through each type of whiskey, explaining how it should be smelled, sipped, and appreciated. I learned so much that I’m seriously considering becoming a whiskey drinker! It’s perfect for someone like me who wants just a little taste and maximum enjoyment—definitely some grown and sexy vibes happening here. If you’re in Baltimore and want a tour that’s informative, interactive, and genuinely fun, I highly recommend Sagamore Distillery, and ask for Lars—he makes the experience unforgettable.

Went there for the first time for a wiskey/chocolate pairing and tour. We got there a little early so we checked in and went to the bar for some tastings and a drink before the tour. Zach made us a couple great drinks he was great. Then we took the tour and (I think her name was) Paige was very personable and informative. We went from the tour to the pairing and it was a really cool room for the event. There were 4 different whiskeys 🥃 paired with 4 different chocolates 🍫. Each were good but a couple of them were amazing. The only draw back was that I bought 3 different whiskeys on the way out 😃🤷🏼‍♂️👍. Great overall first experience.

My wife and I went on the Sagamore Spirit Distillery tour with the chocolate pairing, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. It was so cool to see how this excellent Maryland Rye Whiskey is made and to learn about the process firsthand. It truly was a lost art. Plus, the facility itself is absolutely beautiful, especially with its stunning location right along the water. Sagamore Spirit is truly a Baltimore gem and we highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and memorable outing in the city!

We recently took part in the Whisky & Chocolate pairing along with the distillery tour, and both experiences were absolutely fantastic. Our guide was excellent—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely friendly. I never expected whisky and chocolate to pair so well, but the tasting was a total surprise and a ton of fun. Highly recommended!

Short and sweet tour. We’ve visited bigger distilleries in Kentucky and Sagamore reminded us of a smaller Bardstown. Very clear this is a new money endeavor. Love that they are distilling everything in Maryland now.

Whiskey on the Waterfront was lovely. The weather worked in our favor. A beautiful warm summer afternoon. Spirits were flowing, live band covered various pop songs and the food trucks served up some great food and dessert.

We had the incredible opportunity to attend the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra for the very first time on Saturday, June 28, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The performance was absolutely mesmerizing — the talent and skill of the musicians and performers were evident in every note. Being part of such a grand event made us feel special, as we had never attended a show of this scale before. It was a beautiful evening filled with powerful music, passion, and artistry. We’re so grateful for the experience and look forward to returning!

I had the opportunity to attend the Nas concert, and the parking directly across the street was efficient, so I didn't have to walk much. The venue was nice, but the sound quality during the concert was off; it was muffled and hard to hear at times.

We had such a great time here! I do recommend that if you're going to park in the garage across the street that you give yourself an extra 30 minutes. We found that driving in was longer than expected and we were late to our show. Otherwise the orchestra is fantastic!

My first time ever at the BSO and it was better than what I could’ve imagined! My partner and I went to see Jurassic Park and the BSO delivered. From the musicians, to the music, everyone was having such a great time. Will be returning hopefully for the performance of ELF!

Baltimore symphony orchestra is amazing place to listen and watch classical music. The orchestra is excellent and always put on a great show. Tonight we saw Joshua Bell for the second time. His slides and touch is impeccable with smooth rounded transition. BSO is one of the few places we’re the tickets are reasonable priced without the Ticketmaster fees. The boxes have a full and rich sound. The orchestra pit sound is loud and full but directional based on where you site. The grand tier it matters where you sit (closer is better to the isle), the last few rows don’t reverb back as much as expected. Photo were during practice prior to the show starting.

The building has been around for some years and is very well maintained. The staff are truly amazing! From the time we pulled up to the end of the evening the staff made us feel at home. Accommodations were made to make my family feel comfortable and cared for. I was thoroughly impressed with the level of attention and initiative they showed us. The staff here are among the best Baltimore. I'd like to thank them once again for all they did to make our experience a memorable one.

Just witnessed one of the greatest hip hop performances of all time. Nas performing Illmatic with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. It was a night. The atmosphere was fantastic. The crowd was hype. The orchestra was phenomenal and Nas was God tier level hip hop. Guest appearance by AZ to perform a few tracks. It was a night! I’m Glad I got to witness it.

This was a very enjoyable local and regional theatrical venue. Attended a mid-week play so there was only one play being presented. However, within Baltimore Center Stage there are several small theaters where multiple productions can go on at the same time. Our theater was small and intimate. We were about four rows from the stage and the actors and stage setting were close, easy to hear and really made the story come alive. There were places to grab a drink or snack but one was closed and the second floor snack bar seemed limited in offerings, at least for a matinee. Building is older but it's great that is being used for live theater. Bathrooms were gender-neutral. Parking was across the street and diagonal. Reasonably priced, and a nice garage. There was construction around the entrance which made the garage tough to get to.

Excellent! Go see a live theatre performance here!

A wonderful theater with an elegant atmosphere! I came to Center Stage to see Mexodus and ended up enjoying it very much. The entrance opens up to a foyer area where you can either go to the other end to get your tickets or hang out at surrounding seating areas. Center Stage is oriented vertically, so we went up an elevator or stairs to get to the floor with our theater. Each floor has its own mini foyer area with a bar and a spot to take group photos. The only thing that was unnecessary was that masks are required, but they have some there for if needed. Overall, I still give Center Stage 5 stars!

This has been a staple in my passion for supporting the arts over the past decade. As a regular season ticket holder, I can truly attest to the quality of the theatrical productions at Center Stage. Season tickets are affordable and always offer an exceptional variety of shows most of which are told through a diverse and usually African American lens. Highly recommended!!! And as a DC dweller, I appreciate the ease with which you can find parking near the theater.

What a lovely place to spend a night. The event? It was a celebration for educators, and so this location was selected. Tucked away between a line of buildings, except for the brilliantly-arched lighting and signage, you could easily pass it. However, once you make the deliberate move up the 8 or so steps to the building, the brilliance really shines. You arrive into a lobby reception area that is open and well-laid out. On your right is a little cafe and bar with an opposing open dining area, across from another cool hangout spot. Above you appears the balcony and entrance to upper seats set by recessed lights and artwork And to your left, and in front, open standing area or picture taking space, with leather-cushioned seats for the fatigued. Once you enter the amphitheater, seats are arranged descending towards the stage. Acoustics were great, setting okay. Only a bit of difficulty with parking because of location. Still, a lovely and elegant location for any event if you enjoy an evening well spent! For sure, I’ll be back!

I’ve loved the theater since I was a teenager, I have recently been to 5 shows in the past year at BCS . I’m in love all over again, the productions I witnessed were amazing 🤩. I plan to see as many art related projects as I possibly can! Last night on May 6, 2024 I experienced the most soul , heart, and mind inspiring Achiving Action meeting. Artist , authors, activist, photographer and journalist all gathered to discuss the share their experiences with the community!

Great theater! Every seat is a good seat, sound is good, great staff. We saw Akeelah and the Bee. It was a great show and look forward to seeing other performances at Center Stage.

The Enoch Pratt Library is one of Baltimore's true gems. They offer a ton of FREE events weekly. We went for the comedy show with free wine. We had a great time, and the comedians (especially the sign language interpreter) were hilarious. 😄

A grand civic statement from our patriciate of a century ago. Spacious airy comfortable and beautiful

This library(Enoch Pratt free) is the best in baltimore. I love it here. I took my nephew, because he has never been there. Now he wants to go back. So I assume he likes it..

My son walked up to customer service area to request a new library card, yet a staff member showed unnecessary and uncalled for attitude in response to a simple question at the moment she has purple single braids

A wonderful and historic library with great areas for children and teens, and a bevy of other resources and events being held. Very helpful and friendly staff. But please fix the ventilation/HVAC system in the men’s bathroom - there are always smells emanating from there without fail.

Stopped in to kill some time before meeting a friend for lunch. Open, easy to find books of interest or information, and plenty of places to sit. Many others quietly reading. Bathrooms not clean, but staff friendly and helpful.

Just enjoyed a canning demo here. It's nice how they have all these activities for the community

Had a great time visiting and riding streetcars! I got to ride the yellow and the green one. Both streetcar operators were very friendly and informative. The operator of the green on even offered to take our picture when getting off. The museum is ran by volunteers and you can tell that they all really enjoy being there. If you haven't been, you should definitely visit.

The Baltimore Streetcar Museum is an excellent way to spend an hour or two learning about Baltimore's rich transit history. They have preserved one of every type of streetcar that ran in the city and most of them are available for you to ride. The volunteers that run the museum are very passionate and knowledgeable. Definitely a hidden gem as most cities don't have railway museums inside the urban core and you can even get to the BSM by walking, biking or taking transit.

Take a ride on faithfully restored streetcars, including the oldest in the country! (Check limited hours) Wonderful history of the streetcar in the US and especially Baltimore. Describes how cars and roads co-opted rails. Many original artifacts and exhibits and servers as location of Maryland Streetcar archives. All run by VERY dedicated volunteers who narrate history during your ride. Working train set behind glass. Small gift shop with memorabilia. We got familiar with the museum and volunteers in October 2023 when my daughter had her wedding here. My wife created a native plant garden that volunteers keep going. A lot of family fun!

Celebrated my dad's 70th birthday was awesome. The staff was great. Enjoy the train ride everyone had fun.

I absolutely loved visiting this place! I plan on coming back the next time I’m in the area. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend going before it gets super hot outside!

The street cars are very well maintained. Impeccable. Staff is amazing. The friendliness was remarkable. There is free parking, a gift shop with lots of great options. It was a very fun experience.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lots of fun riding the streetcars. The museum part is small, but perfect for young children and under 4 are free. Ask for a tour of the car house. Our visit felt like a private tour because there were not many people there. Wonderful museum

As an architect-turned-wedding-photographer who happens to live less than 10 minutes from the Evergreen Museum & Library, I've always admired the beautiful and serene grounds, not to mention the historic architecture; it honestly feels like you've been transported to a European villa while visiting! I recently had the incredible opportunity to photograph an editorial wedding photoshoot here and it was an amazing experience. Excited to hopefully be back for a wedding day soon! @urbanrowphotography on IG

Beautiful historical museum and library I noticed that you can not tour by yourself. The last guided tour is at 2 pm. I did the 2 pm tour. I was the only person, but it was good. I was able to take my time. There are some sections that you can not take pictures of. The 1st floor library is so beautiful. I heard some jhu students can rent the book while they are there. I was able to take a picture of the kitchen The 2nd floor is also beautiful. Color is vivid. I think i really like the library. Lots of details and notable architectural designs to look. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable on the history of the house and family. It is very well organized and has lots of artifacts to look at. Totally worth it. They also have a lot of seasonal events. Free for jhu students

We had the opportunity to see the Tiffany glassworks exhibit and chat with Alysha and Paige about the history of the home and gardens. They were both super knowledgeable and a delight to converse with about so many aspects of this fantastic site. While we did not tour the interiors, the museum will be changing their tour schedule to provide greater flexibility and to meet demand come early September 2023. Can't wait! The grounds are lovely and while a number of structures no longer exist, in some cases one can see the foundational remains and only imagine how impressive this home must have been previously. Nevertheless we enjoyed the tranquility while we walked the grounds. We'll be back for sure come autumn!

Baltimore’s hidden gem for historical homes. Lived here all my life and never knew about this place. Our tour guide John was extremely knowledgeable and informative, giving us an in-depth look at the Garrett family’s extensive books collection, artwork and family background. An amazing home.

I photographed a lovely wedding and I still can't stop thinking about how beautiful the grounds were during golden hour. The light hits this location in the best of ways right before sunset. The indoor locations were just as interesting to photograph in as the outdoors. With so many locations just in one place it made it super easy for me to get a variety of images in a short amount of time so that the couple could get back to the party in no time! Can't wait to photography here again!

Great tour, very thorough, tons of art and Tiffany Glass. Don't miss it.

This museum and library is a must see if you're visiting the Baltimore area or if you are planning a day trip. Amongst the 48 room mansion you will be stunned by the famous John Work Garrett Library. There are over 30,000 books, some of the oldest and rarest in history. The library is opened to public for private event's upon reservation. The mansion is filled with amazing original artwork like picasso, François Auguste René Rodin and many other collectors and patrons of the arts. There is even a guest book signed by all of The Evergreens visitors including Amelia earheart. I was very impressed by the many layers of architecture and history this beautiful place has to offer. I recommend visiting in the summer so you can experience the true beauty of the formal gardens but any day out of the year is perfect if you want to retain a part of history.

Good informative vistor center It is a big and nice place to stay. Nice and clean. They have a lot of pamphlets and magazines about baltimore. Some has a coupon for ticket. I think it is very helpful. The left shelf has everything related to baltimore city itself and the right shelf has all the nearby places. I think it is a good place to go if you want information about baltimore along with history. Also good place to use restroom I think they also have a tour which might be good to check out

Baltimore Visitor Center is a great place to start your trip when visiting Baltimore. The visitor center is located right along the waterfront walkway. The staff here is very helpful.

Not very informative, but nice looking building, clean bathrooms, friendly people, charging station. They have cancellation stamps for National Park Passport fans. Parking is difficult if you try to drive here but when walking from harbor east around the inner harbor it’s a nice place to stop before you turn around and head back.

Inner Harbor is one of Baltimore’s most iconic and scenic waterfront destinations. Whether visiting with family or exploring solo, the area offers a great mix of history, culture, and entertainment. You can enjoy attractions like the National Aquarium, historic ships, and museums, or take a relaxing walk along the promenade. Plenty of restaurants and shops are nearby, with beautiful views of the harbor. It’s a lively, tourist-friendly spot showcasing Baltimore's charm and energy. Parking can be a bit pricey, but it’s worth the experience.

A must-visit for useful and practical information, especially for first-time visitors. The people working here are very knowledgeable about the city and helpful with recommendations. Most of the notable attractions downtown are a short walking distance from here, and those farther out can be reached via the free Charm City Circulator buses.

Hi, I lost a tripod in your centre and I would like to contact somebody but the number says different opening hours than google and nobody picks up. Do you have an email I can write to? Are the opening hours correct?

It's a great free place to enjoy the view indoors. They have great historical props and replicas. A small affordable Baltimore gift shop for souvenirs, maps and brochures. As well as clean restrooms. The staff is super friendly and helpful!
