Things To Do

National Aquarium

The National Aquarium is truly impressive for all ages! Matt and I have both been and loved it. Touch pools, dolphins, sharks. A truly great aquarium.

American Visionary Art Museum

This funky museum houses an incredible collection of art made by self-taught "visionary artists" without formal training. The building itself is almost as impressive as the art it contains. Pair a visit to the museum with a walk to Federal Hill to get a spectacular view of the harbor. You'll also be walking in Matt's old stomping grounds.

Fells Point

Walk around and explore the many restaurants, bars and boutiques in one of Baltimore's oldest neighborhoods. Once an old mariner's and sailor's quarter. Home of Bertha's Mussels, of John Robert's famous folk song, "Eat Bertha's Mussels"

Federal Hill Park

Overlook of the inner harbor from the hill that the Union Army held Baltimore under Martial Law during the Civil War. Cannons are still pointed at the city in remembrance.

Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine

Visit the fort and the site of the naval battle of Baltimore that inspired the writing of the "Star-Spangled Banner." It's also a great running destination and makes for a 7 to 10 mile loop (depending if you hug the harbor or take a more direct route) from Fell's point.

Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum

Famed slugger's birthplace houses baseball memorabilia & other sports-related exhibits. Small but absolutely charming and worth a visit

Mr. Trash Wheel and Inner Harbor walk

Mr Trash Wheel is famous for cleaning up Baltimore Harbor and his giant googly eyes. See him and the variety of attractions along the beautiful Inner Harbor. Go for a ride in a paddleboat, see the historic ships (or go for a tour inside), or see the Aquarium or other museums!

George Peabody Library

For all the bibliophiles. This is the former research library of Johns Hopkins University and is the likes of museum architecture only to be found on Instagram. See it in person!

Fell's Point Farmers Market

Weekly farmers market on Saturday Mornings

Maryland Science Center

A great kid friendly museum

USS Constellation

1854 historic sloop moored in the Inner Harbor. One of a number of historical ships in the inner harbor that you can tour.

Graffiti Alley

Camden Yards - Orioles stadium

Tampa Bay Rays will be in town on our wedding weekend! 7pm game on Friday and a 1:05pm game on Sunday. The Orioles might not be the best team in basepall, but Camden Yards might be the best stadium! A great time for reasonable prices (especially for the MLB)

The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore

Located in beautiful Druid Hill Park! Good for the kids and young at heart.

Baltimore Museum of Art

Located on Johns Hopkins University Campus

Baltimore Spirits Company

Award-winning distillery, producing gins, whiskey, Maryland rye, brandy, and amari

B&O Railroad Museum

The B&O Railroad Museum is located in a historic roundhouse with many full-size historic trains from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad that can be entered and explored.
