When we used to live in Baltimore we had yearly passes for the Aquarium. I like to look at fish sure but this place was incredible. I could spend all day just looking at the different fish. I loved the shark tank! IT was awesome to see such large powerful creatures up close and personal. We also really enjoyed the dolphin shows and tried to catch one whenever we went. This is such a great family oriented place and well worth the price of admission.

Actually, the name of this museum is the Walters, not Walter. This is perhaps one of the best art museums I've ever been to, and it's practically hidden in Baltimore's Mt. Vernon area. Admission prices are rather steep, but they often have free or $1 Saturday morning admission if you can wake up early enough. I especially enjoy their collection of medieval artwork and suits of armor. Lots of fun-- easily an entire day's worth of education and entertainment!

The Baltimore Museum of Art, called the BMA by locals, is one of my favorite art museums in the world. It's not a huge museum, but what it lacks in size it makes up in collections. The BMA consists of several permanent galleries, including the famous Matisse-packed Cone Collection, an impressive furniture and decorative arts wing, and jewelry and miniature collection, in addition to one large traveling exhibits gallery. The changing exhibits are almost always blockbuster, with recent shows being the Ballet Russe, Impressionists, and Turner's Watercolors and Guash. There's also a huge section of modern and abstract art; while it's not my favorite, it's quite impressive in scale and scope. There's also an outdoor sculpture garden, indoor courtyard, theater, exceptional café, and a fantastic gift shop. Hopkins students used to be able to get in free if they showed their student ID. Programming is plentiful here, so be alert for fantastic evening performances, family art workshops, and gallery talks.

I first went to the Aquarium with my family when we were up in Baltimore one summer. The high prices were the only turn off, but well worth it. When we were there they had an exhibit of different jellyfish, which was absolutely fascinating. I recently went there with my boyfriend and there was an exhibit on sea horses. It was amazing, and a really fun date!

This museum has some of the coolest modern art I have ever seen. Everything from a live and working Coney Island replica to face masks painted by mentally disabled people. They change the artwork a lot during the year so be sure to check it out often. The tree outside th eback is filled with pieces of glass which is also real cool. Since it's right next to the inner harbor there are plenty of other places to visit while you are there.

Check out the Babe Ruth Museum only minutes away from Camden Yards! This place is filled with baseball memorbilla and priceless pictures. This place not only feature the Babe, but also has the archives of The Baltimore Orioles and Colts. I went to a corporate event before an Oriole's home game and was impressed.

I don't know whether or not I've give this place a thumbs up or not. The property itself is huge, with plenty of tables, dance space, and theming. The overall beach theme is pretty good, but I was less than impressed by the crowd it seems to bring in. I'd stick with the Power plant Live over this place if I were you. It's also kinda isolated, so if you want to leave, you're pretty much stuck.

More
The Great Blacks in Wax Museum was the first wax museum about black history. It first opened in 1983 with 21 wax figures and it has grown and expanded over the years and now houses over 140 wax figures. The museum not only shows well known events in black history, it also shows regular every day lives of blacks. Some of the exhibits include Harriet Tubman, the Underground Railroad, a slave ship, Egyptian rulers, and many other wonderful exhibits. It's such a great museum and there is so much to learn.
Side note: It's chilly there b/c if it gets too warm the wax will melt, so you may want to bring a sweater.

What I love about Broadway Bikes is that the guys in there are completely devoted to customer service. The first time that I went in, my bike was ready an hour later than quoted, so the manager gave me a 50% discount. The second time, I went in because my brakes were squeaky, and the brakes were tightened and cleaned at no cost. I am not an expert biker by any means, but they never make you feel stupid or unimportant for asking silly questions - great shop!

I really dont care for trains, but when I was invited to go to the B&O Railroad Museum I said why not. To my surprise I really had a great time. I was really happy on how much there was for my 2 year old to do there. They have a train ride, a train play ground, and a REAL train ride that goes a mile or so down the track. She cried when it was time to leave. I will be back there for sure!!!
