B&O RR museum

Visionary Art Museum

Museum of Industry

Aquarium

Balt zoo

DC zoo

All good recommendations and I would add Port Discovery Children's Museum.

There’s usually a pretty solid car show on Saturday mornings at the Wegmans on Shawan Rd. Starts around 8:00 IIRC. The NCR trail is nearby if they’re into hiking.

Thanks! Yes they both love to hike

Thanks we will look into these!

Walters art Museum is free and the one at johns hopkins University is as well (I think) farmers market in fells or. Check out the cathedral the George washington monument, the holocaust monument, fort mchenry, the big hill on the south of inner harbor (cant remember what its called) druid hill park, the fudgery, Edgar Allen Poe's gravesite

The one at Johns Hopkins is the Baltimore Museum of Art and yes also free.

What are the kids interested in? Baltimore zoo is cool because you can feed the giraffes for like $5. Baltimore science center and the museum of industry both have a lot of interactive exhibits. Visionary art museum while not free would be a lot more fun for kids than the walters or the Baltimore museum of art.

Fire dept museum is in cockeysville

Papermoon diner would be a great restaurant for kids.

Second Papermoon!! My nieces love it:)

Marshy Point Nature Center and Irvine Nature Center both are free and frequently have activities on weekends so check their websites. Oh and MPNC offers little explorer backpacks for kids to borrow pecked with stuff to go exploring. Just ask a ranger, which by the way, the rangers there are A+.

• Science Center and the playground near it.

I wouldn’t recommend the Visionary Art Museum unless they’re really into art.

The fudgery has been gone for at least a decade, but relatives took me to one in a diff city much longer ago. I like your idea of Fed Hill (great for all ages) and just poking around the harbor. Maybe hop into a dragon boat for a float on the water-I would have thought they’d be done for the season, but saw them out this week.

At that age I would suggest the Visionary Art Museum and the Aquarium. I mean, they are pretty closely located and easily walkable -- and can certainly consume most of a day.

Forgot fort McHenry.

Do you have a BOA credit card? They get free admission to museums the first weekend of every month.

Their search feature is broken on Firefox, but works on Chrome for me. They used to list the AVMA museum, but that dropped off the list. Now they show:

Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture

Great place for kids is Port Discovery, not sure of prices:

Di'Pasquale's is awesome Italian Food, two locations in B'mo, closed on Sundays. Great restaurant, they sell their food cold or frozen for later, and it's in the middle of the best Italian Grocery this side of Jersey.

Oregon Ridge is near there too. They have a Nature Center and playground

I haven't been since I was a kid, but I loved Port Discovery

Forgot to say - order the stuffed artichoke, you won't be sorry. Google how to eat one if you've never had one.

Oregon Ridge would be great then. Lots of trails, nature center, playground. NCR is beautiful but more of a "walk" than "hike"

The Baltimore zoo and the aquarium are not budget friendly in any way. They are both outrageous. DC Zoo is free if you want to make the drive.
