The 21 best places to propose in Baltimore

I visited before the Gardens were planted and still had a lovely experience. Volunteers and employees were hard at work planting when I arrived. Definitely visit the Nature Center, staff there were great! They have Luna Moths and Grey Tree Frogs on display and the center is very well maintained. I only wish I could have visited on the weekend so I could tour the mansion. I will absolutely be back to see the gardens!

Beautiful arboretum in historical estate location is Baltimore’s largest public garden. Plenty of parking on mid-summer weekday and open nature center with friendly employees. The only miss was inability to tour Cylburn Mansion. There is a choice of paved paths or hiking trails and well-thought out arboretum layout to please an eye. Worthwhile detour from I-95 when passing through Baltimore, free admission was an added bonus.

We went for one of the open house tours in early April. The staff in the mansion and the nature education center were wonderful. They were very knowledgeable about the history of the grounds and the flora and fauna one can find there. Of note, we were immediately greeted by adorable northern mockingbirds at the entrance of the mansion and only continued to see birds and flowers from there. The trails were easy to walk in regular shoes or sandals. There are wheelchair ramps, automatic doors on the education center, and braille labels on the premises. The upper floors of the mansion were not open to the public for tours (on the day we were there).

Definitely not as large as I'd expected. Outside garden waa beautiful, full off bumble bees just minding their business. I wish we'd had a selfie stick/tripod, cause it was a beautiful backdrop for photos.

I spent the day at Cylburn Arboretum for a work retreat, and what a beautiful surprise it turned out to be. The gardens are peaceful and full of quiet charm, every path feels like a small escape into nature. It’s the kind of place that reminds you to slow down, breathe, and notice the beauty around you. Truly a hidden gem in the city.

Beautiful green space and Mansion. I hadn't been in years and went for their Halloween program. The spooky trail was fun as was the night hike. It was a great family outing with food trucks and kid's activities. I would go again if they had an adult only night program.

I didn't get to all the places I wanted to go inside of the arboretum. But what I did see was stunning! I'm obsessed with dahlias and there was a dahlia garden. Absolutely gorgeous. This place is very very well maintained. Lots of walking spaces very very nice place. When I left there was a wedding party gathering for a photo shoot.

Beauty and peace in one stunning 19th century conservancy. A truly tranquil experience! A lovely pathway visiting various biomes which you can meander in any direction. The orchid garden serves as the gateway to the tallest of the conservancy rooms, with trees and a nice wooden pier. Smells are wonderful and trickling water can be heard in certain sections. Describing the Rawlings Conservancy in one word: Serenity.

One of the few enjoyable aspects of Baltimore. Beautiful conservatory and a great spot to visit for those coming from out of town. Friendly staff and overall fun experience. There’s a small little free library out front near a willow tree in desperate need of a clean up and paint…

It was small but very well maintained and operated off of tips. It housed a nice collection of plants. The grounds had a few ball fields and some trails perfect for a day at the park

Beautiful indoor gardens with several distinct areas to explore. Pleasant staff too.

I love this beautiful place filled with extraordinary plants. I’ve never seen plants this large before. The koi pool was beautiful. It’s a relaxing atmosphere and it has a guided walk app which informs about all of the plants you’ll see. I’ve brought many people here and all loved the experience. The outside grounds are also beautiful. Excellent for photo ops.

I really enjoy visiting. It always brings a calm during the day. They accept donations (card of cash). Very worth it.

Great hidden gem in the city, small but there are a handful of rooms (tropical house was my favorite). Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Entry is free but I do recommend bringing cash for a small donation.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Nice open area great for family picnics, photos or playing games. There are tons of tulips and there is a guide telling you the names of each type. Had a great time walking around with my family and playing tag with my kids. Unfortunately no restrooms so had to leave earlier than we wanted.

Beautiful park nestled in the neighborhood of Guliford. Me and my daughter brought our dog for a bucket list. She unfortunately is sick so trying to do special things with her before it is her time..

Beautiful, well-kept gardens. There are lots of tulips blooming in mid-April. Great place to picnic.

This is an actual neighborhood garden. Beautiful area. Very neat and well-kept! 🪏 🪴 🌲 🌼 🌺 🌱

Gorgeous hidden gem of a park/arboretum a little past Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. It is a small, privately owned park but free and open to the public. The park is very clean and well managed. There are no public bathrooms, trash cans, or sidewalks, and the pastoral lands look more beautiful and clean for it. Even when visiting out of tulip season April-May, there were still many gorgeous trees to look at, as well as admiring the historic buildings on site and bordering the park. The place is very ideal for a quick walk or sunny picnic day out. Highly recommend

I absolutely loved these gardens. It's in a beautiful area that's definitely worth a visit. I expected this place to be an actual park with an admissions desk and all that. But, it's actually an open park where anyone can walk, which is a nice benefit! To my surprise, there were not many people walking around here at all -- in fact, it was really empty and quiet. That was another nice benefit! Just the sound of the light breeze, birds, and leaves. Amazing place to relax in!

Love this peaceful place of delight that has the most awesome array of different colored tulips that I've ever seen in one place. It also has beautiful Azeila trees that are lovely to not only look at but sit under on your beach towel or blanket & read a good book &/or have a picnic. I've been here 5 times total over the year, including this year as well as last year. I'm pretty sure it's gonna become a yearly tradition from now on.

We loved the amazing views! We were here celebrating a birthday, and the staff surprised us with a complimentary ice cream sundae — such a thoughtful treat. If it’s your first time visiting, one thing to keep in mind is that the meal presentation and menu items can change frequently. What we saw in recent reviews didn’t quite match what was on the actual menu, so it’s best to stay open-minded. Also, if you have food allergies, I’d recommend calling ahead to confirm what options are available for you. While most of our selections were fantastic, we felt the steak could’ve used more seasoning — we didn’t end up finishing it. Everything else we ordered was delicious, and the drinks were excellent. In terms of pricing, although many reviews mention a budget of $50–$100 per person, we found it more realistic to plan for at least $150 per person.Valet parking options are available. If you are able to walk or take an uber. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and definitely worth visiting!

Came to Bygone because I had heard so much about it. Reservation are also needed for the Bar.It was date nite and wanted to go some were new to relax and have drinks and desserts. I found a good one!! The ambiance alone will have you in awe.the veiws are outstanding The Bar area was perfect for what we came for. The choice of bar or lounge seating was nice. Upon arrival you are seated promptly by the hostess and my Waitress was nice and welcoming. The cocktails and desserts were delish! I will definitely habe to come back for Brunch or dinner. So if your inbthe area try them out!!

I’ve been to The Bygone twice now—once for brunch and once for dinner—and both times were outstanding. The brunch buffet was fresh, flavorful, and felt elevated, not just “standard.” Dinner was just as impressive with beautifully plated dishes and attentive service. And the view? Absolutely stunning—especially at night when the city lights sparkle over the water. This place is more than a meal; it’s an experience. I’ll definitely be back.

We stopped for a drink before dinner so that we could enjoy the views from the 29th floor at sunset. It did not disappoint. Beautiful views, great drinks, classy decor and great service. Highly recommended!

🚨 THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR THE BAR AREA 🚨 We visited The Bygone on the 29th floor of the Four Seasons Baltimore and it absolutely delivered on everything you’d want from a rooftop bar experience. From the moment we walked into the lobby downstairs, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive—setting the vibe right away. Even on a Thursday night, the bar wasn’t overcrowded at all, which was honestly perfect. It felt like we could actually relax and soak it all in without fighting for space or service. Once upstairs, the views over the Inner Harbor were stunning. They have two gorgeous indoor decks with floor-to-ceiling windows plus an outdoor terrace where you can actually take your drink outside and get those panoramic views. The decor is honestly one of my favorite things about this spot. It’s got this classic, art deco-inspired look—lots of polished wood, tufted leather, rich velvet, and beautiful lighting. It feels upscale and timeless without being stuffy. The bar team was great too. Our bartender was super knowledgeable and friendly, offering suggestions and chatting with us while making the drinks. Service was quick even though it was busy enough to feel lively. The cocktails themselves were solid—very well balanced and tasty. They average around $20 each, which for Baltimore might be considered a bit on the higher side, but for a rooftop in a luxury hotel with those views and that vibe? Totally worth it. It’s the kind of place that really feels special—a fantastic date night spot or a place to celebrate something. Overall, we loved the experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their night out in Baltimore. 5 out of 5 stars from us—The Bygone is one of the best rooftop bar experiences in the city, hands down.

We were impressed by The Bygone very creative menu, wonderful hospitality and great customer service! Props to our waiter Alex which made our entire experience welcoming and explained every dish to its core! Fresh ingredients, wonderful presentation and explosion of flavors with a magnificent view to the Baltimore Inner Harbor.

Went here on a date during a weeknight, we made a reservation for 8 pm. We were seated promptly, and everyone was very welcoming. The ambiance was quite nice, the views are great, but it's hard to complain about the ambiance and views in a waterfront restaurant. The food was amazing, the chef here has a knack for flavor combinations and presentation, my only complaint was the timing, which was absolutely ridiculous. Took an average of 40+ minutes to get drinks out; they said they had an event going on at the bar which leads me to believe their manager either understaffed them or their bartender(s) weren't up to the task of one event and a restaurant that had maybe 5 tables. While their alcohol selection is good, I ordered two French martinis and got two very different drinks each time, neither of which I would call a French martini but oh well. The house cocktails were good but again all of these were at least a 40 minute wait so that definitely detracted from the experience. Then when the food also took forever to come out, we ended up having multiple long moments with neither drinks nor food on our table. I don't know if the kitchen was having a problem or what was going on but some courses came out at a decent rate and others we were waiting almost an hour for. All in all, it took about 4 hours to get through our meal. For a place with food as good as this I'm very disappointed that I walked away thinking I should've just gone to Charleston, or that their chef worked anywhere else.

Do some research before you visit somewhere and then leave a review/comment.....you got a brain, put it to use. This place is amazing!!, even if you can't go inside. Why complain about; spending $2? closed when you went? smaller than you expected? I bet you also whine when your fire is too hot and your ice is too cold

This unique round, red structure in Baltimore Harbor is the historic FIVE-STAR Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse. Built in 1856 and once guiding ships at the mouth of the Patapsco River, it was decommissioned in 1988, relocated to the harbor, and is now part of the Historic Ships Baltimore Collection, Check online open dates and hours.

It doesn't get a lot of foot traffic because of its obscure location but is definitely worth a visit. The view from here is quite nice that someone during our visit chose it to propose to his girlfriend (it appeared that she said yes). There is a small museum inside that tells the story of the lighthouse and how it was moved to its current location after it stopped operating. Admission is free. Come visit if you have at least half an hour to spare.

I couldn't find affordable parking nearby to get closer to this lighthouse.

Interesting piece of history. Will take less than 10 minutes to see, lots of stairs to climb to the top tho! It is free with the historic ships ticket, or $1 if you don’t have the ticket. You can go all the way up to the top of the light house and the view is nice. There are lots of artifacts and information on the walls.

Absolutely amazing little lighthouse! Very well maintained!

Easy to get to. Wasn’t open. You can walk around underneath it. Great view of the water. You can see it from the concert venue next-door. Really unique and different than most houses.

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!

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.

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.

From the time I was a little girl living on the 400 block of East Chase Street, I set my sights on visiting The Prime Rib Restaurant. I can still picture the elegantly dressed patrons stepping out of their limousines and heading into that stunning establishment while my friends and I were often sent back to our neighborhood I finally made it to The Prime Rib, and it was absolutely breathtaking. This experience was more than worth it! When I walked in the door, I was treated like royalty and escorted right to my seat. As I settled in, I heard the joyful sound of a saxophone playing "Happy Birthday." Then, I was presented with my gorgeous cake brought by my grandchildren, along with beautiful flowers from everyone. It was truly amazing! Even hours after returning home, I'm still smiling. I had a fantastic night with my family, and I want to say I love you all. Thank you for making this such a memorable evening!The food was absolutely magnificent; every dish we savored was cooked to absolute perfection. It’s no surprise that this establishment has thrived throughout my entire lifetime. Each bite was a delightful journey of flavors, showcasing the skill and dedication of the chefs. The ambiance exuded elegance, just as I had always envisioned it would, with beautifully arranged tables and a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly complemented the exquisite cuisine.

Excellent experience all around although I would dispute my server’s “medium rare” temp on the ribeye. Chimichurri sauce was fantastic!

I came here on last minute plans for my birthday but I had such an amazing time it was clearly meant to be. I had the mignon and my friend had the lamb and they were both good perfect. My steak had this beautiful crust that I loved. The sides were good but I wish I would have got the corn over the creamed spinach. The cocktails were good as well and the crème brûlée ended the night off well. The pianist was amazing and really set a beautiful atmosphere. I’m really looking forward to coming here again

Came here with my wife to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. Explained this in the reservation, and when the restaurant called me to confirm it, they mentioned that it was for our anniversary. We get here and no one acknowledges what we came here for, yet another couple got a free dessert for their anniversary. It’s not about the free food, it’s about being acknowledged, and as a lesbian couple, the sting of no one caring at such a high end place was disappointing to say the least. After reading some of the other negative reviews, it’s giving that this place profiles against queer and Black people and does not give them the same quality service. On top of that, the food was simply mediocre. We both got the 8oz filet which were both overseared and lacked flavor. My mashed potatoes were inedible because of the amount of onion put into it. They were over whipped as well. My wife’s baked potato was not salted. I’m surprised at the lack of seasoning on all the food in general. Overall, extremely disappointing for a place that constantly gets good reviews. I wish we would’ve had a better experience here. Will not be back and will tell everyone we know to avoid this place like the plague.

The Prime Rib was excellent. Classic, upscale steakhouse vibe with a warm, welcoming feel. The steaks were juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. Sides and appetizers were solid, and service was professional and attentive. Perfect spot for a special night out or a hearty, satisfying meal.

The food here was amazing! I’ve been to the prime rib in DC, but this Baltimore location was even better. I got the Chilean sea bass while my friend got the signature cut prime rib Oscar style and both food items were delicious! We also shared the oyster Chesapeake, asparagus, creamed spinach and lobster Mac and cheese which were also very good. We will definitely return here in the future!

Excellent dinner service on a Sunday night! Jimbo was our server and provided hospitable, warm service with on point recommendations. If I had a larger stomach, I would have gone with everything he recommended!

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.

Unfortunately there isn't much here but a dump.

You know how nature is any and every Park is a blessing from God and this park in particular is exceptional and clean, litter free. Wish I had some pictures to share but I did not take any on this particular trip but there will be more to come in the future

This is a cesspool!! These reviews are fake

Went to tjs always great food and atmosphere great prices also

I went camping for my first time and I had a great time.

(Translated by Google) Very good atmosphere 👍🏽 (Original) Muy buen ambiente 👍🏽

Wonderful place.

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.

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 place has always been awesome. We have been coming here for years at the old location and the new location is really cool. It has easily accessible parking for free across the street. They serve a rotating beer menu, along with some food options. They have events from time to time. The best part is they are dog friendly outside and indoors. All of the staff are super accommodating. They also have a variety of pinball machines to play upstairs. This is an awesome spot to pregame before Ravens games or top golf because it is walking distance to the stadium and the range.

This place is great. Very spacious with beautiful interior design. The food is decent with a somewhat small menu. The selection of beer on tap and in a can are varied nicely. I love that you can put together your own 16 oz 4 pack for a slightly lower price than it would be for each can. Events that are happening here are definitely worth going to.

Checkerspot is one of my favorite local breweries. Great beer, great space, pinball, and great people. This brewery is truly an asset to Baltimore and the community. They are involved in so many community projects and are welcoming to all people, regardless of how they identify. They always have a great selection of beers (made gluten reduced). If you’re looking for hype beers that use weird ingredients and are so sickening sweet no one could stomach a pint, this is not your place. Good beer here for good people

Checkerspot Brewing is such a standout in Baltimore! Their craft beers are always top-notch, creative, well-balanced, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, and you can feel the passion the team puts into every detail. Whether you’re a longtime local or new to the city, this is the perfect spot to relax, try something new, and enjoy the community vibe. As a realtor, I love pointing clients to Checkerspot as one of the must-visit breweries that make Baltimore so special. 🍻🌟 — Ali Hudler, Hudler Homes

IMO. My favorite brewery. Hillbilly Gold is a crisp Pilsner. Perfect on a warm day. All of the beer tenders are very nice. 5 stars.

This is absolutely my favorite brewery in South Baltimore, if not all of Maryland. The welcoming atmosphere, the friendly staff and hands down the best beer I've ever had all come together to make it one of my favorite places to be. It's great before a game, on a Sunday afternoon, or after work with friends. They're inclusive and community focused, and have done a ton for the area around the brewery. They also do so much to help worthy causes like BARCS, Second Chance, community cleanup, and Baltimore Compost Collective to name a few. It really is a special place that I'm proud to be a regular!

New Location Update: The New location is really nice. Much more spacious than the previous place. The beer is still excellent. We stopped in while visiting Baltimore from Delaware. The first thing you should know about this brewery is that all the offerings are gluten reduced. This means that many people who are gluten sensitive can enjoy their beer. This is a fantastic concept! In addition the beer is very high quality. None of us were gluten sensitive and we left with quite a few things. The place has some outside and lots of inside seating. The service was great and I have already told you about the beer. We will certainly be back and highly recommend this place!

The customer service at Oasis marinas and Harbor East Marina is superb! After not getting confirmation on a reservation, Atrayu from Oasis reached out, determined the software problem and took ownership of finding a solution. Very much appreciated !!! Rick Scott SV Resolute

Nice marina and fair price for services offered. Flexible parking on the pier. Very good security and large sturdy gates. Water and electricity hookup worked flawlessly.

Despite the gloomy weather the Trawlerfest was great. We really appreciate all the boats that were there and all the support staff. Looking forward to our next show.

We have stayed here a few times and really enjoy the area. Great floating docks and areas to walk the dog.

Great time at trawlerfest. Nice view of harbor and the city line from this location.

Great Marina… clean, organized, and the staff was top notch. They called prior to arrival with slip number and when showed up, they were ready with the little goody bag and key card. Safe and clean marina. Highly recommend

Terrific location, well maintained, good facilities, friendly staff. As a transient, I am able to stay in the downtown area for events and get a perfect front row seat to the activities. Recently stayed for fleet week and the air show. A perfect way to experience the event and Harbor East Marina made it easy and fun!
