Things To Do
Patapsco Valley State Park - Avalon Area
This is where we're getting married! It's a state park so you can do outdoorsy things like hike, take pictures of weird insects, etc. Patapsco Valley State Park follows the river, so there are actually several different sections to explore. In the section where we are holding our wedding, we recommend playing in the river in the Orange Grove area; walking across the swinging bridge; and hiking Cascade Falls Loop Trail and Soapstone Trail.
National Aquarium
Your grin will be toothier than a shark's! You'll flip over the dolphins! Is there any place more roe-mantic than an aquarium?
American Visionary Art Museum
Weird art? YES PLEASE
The PaperMoon Diner
Like Amy and Maria, The PaperMoon Diner is A LOT. A bastion of living art, it has mannequins, toy cars, murals, and even (gasp) food! The menu looks great (it even has vegan and GF options) but honestly we'd go here anyway just for the experience.
Green Mount Cemetery
You should never use the Ouija Board in a cemetery. You can, however, visit the Ouija-themed headstone of Elijah Jefferson Bond, the creator of the Ouija Board, in Baltimore’s Green Mount Cemetery. Also, Amy and Maria love walking around cemeteries, and Green Mount Cemetery is one of the oldest garden cemeteries in the country. It was inspired by Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, MA – one of Amy and Maria’s favorite haunts in the Boston area.
Dragon Boats and Pirate Ships in the Harbor
Go get some arrrr and arrrr on the harbor on an electric pirate ship or dragon-shaped paddleboat. Open Saturday and Sunday, 10/14 and 10/15. Boats are first-come, first-serve. Well-behaved dogs are allowed.
