Baltimore experience gift idea for mom??

Submitted by bravepalmtrees t3_zsrzfa in baltimore

Hey everyone! I'm trying to think of something fun to do with my mom for a Christmas gift!! I was thinking of doing a behind the scenes tour at the maryland Zoo- but to my surprise they didn't offer that!!

So my question is, can anyone think of a fun experience I can take my mom on for a Christmas gift??

Cooking classes at Schola or Baltimore Chef Shop. Glassblowing classes at McFadden or Corradetti. Woodworking/soap making/basic plumbing(!)/etc. classes at Station North Tool Library. Wine tasting at Union Collective. A promise to rent out a water taxi when the weather is nice and to stock the bar with her favorite drinks. Duckpin bowling before it goes extinct. A day spent bopping around the various museums with you.

Seconding an aquarium membership, pays for itself in two visits.

Tour of the Guinness factory, b and o railroad museum. I like BMA and lunch at Gertrude’s after. Sometimes BMA has artist talks and lectures.

I think the Walters Art Museum has the coolest stuff. It’s free so you could go there and out for a meal before or after.

There are a couple of canned experiences at the zoo (meet the penguins/feed the otters), and you can also schedule private experiences at the Zoo that cater to what you want (usually meant for a larger group than just 2 though).

It's cheap and not impressive as a gift, but the Evergreen Mansion is really cool. Could couple that with dinner at Heritage Smokehouse FTW.

There are plenty of cool behind the scenes tours at National Aquarium. You could gift a membership and then get 20% off the tour and lots of other perks like a year of free visits. 🐬
