What travelers are saying
- Arthur GEndicott, NY592 contributionsThe visitor's center was well done and the film is excellent. The actual fort is well maintained with several different displays set up inside the buildings. Numerous cannon and informational plaques. And the flag in the same place as the original Star Spangled Banner.Written May 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Radha TaralekarNavi Mumbai, India63 contributionsIt's a pleasant place to visit and walk around the river front in the evening or in the early morning. Must visit at least once if you happen to in BaltimoreWritten May 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Bill10 contributionsfantastic to watch a baseball game. Easy to enter the stadium with lots of food options and easy to get to from downtown Baltimore.Written May 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Ed CArlington, VA750 contributionsWe took two of our grandchildren to visit the aquarium. It was a very enjoyable visit.
The unexpected highlights of the visit were the Australian and jellyfish exhibits. Other highlights included the dolphins; the "petting zoo" with horseshoe crabs and one jelly fish species; and the puffins. My only complaint with all the lights and glass it was very hard to take pictures without unwanted reflections.
One comment on the "price" complaint. I would agree that for a single visit it is a bit much, but with a membership you can go many times at no extra cost. With several grandchildren coming to visit us this year, we bought a membership and expect to go back several times.Written May 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Michele S1 contributionWe participated in the seasonal cocktail class and oh my...what fun! The instructors were educated and interesting and lively. The location and preparations for us were top notch. We had a great time and plan to bring friends back for a couples evening!Written May 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Trains_planes_automobilesTamaqua, PA59 contributionsLots of unique art here. It has eye catching works even kids can appreciate. Nice for a rainy afternoon. The cafeteria is closed due to Covid currently.Written May 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- nycmom22New York City, NY2,589 contributionsThe Matisse collection of the Cone sisters defies belief. The exhibit curated by museum guards is wonderful. Astounding that admission is free. The sculpture garden is also first rate.Written May 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- mothersboardMaryland13 contributionsA great place to go walking/biking and shopping! Loved walking the edge of water and feeding the birds. There are some good restaurants and shops but prepare to put the money out.
There are Uber Bikes and Scooters which I loved and was a fast way to get back to the parking garage.
They make great efforts to keep the area clean.Written April 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - sg8887Cedar Falls, IA26 contributionsThis is a great place to visit! There is a parking lot, but it is also within a pretty easy walk from the waterfront district. Once you buy your ticket in the gift shop, you get a map and can wander the museum as you please. The best part is the Roundhouse where you get to walk through the history of railroad cars and engines. You get to climb aboard many of the cars and see some really cool exhibits. Definitely a good spot for kids who love railroads. Outside the Roundhouse, you can see more cars. There is a great model train set in one of those along with a bunch of other cool stuff like the first refrigerated railcars.
You don't need to be a railroad enthusiast to enjoy this museum. The history and innovation elements are tied in to all the exhibits.Written May 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Bill10 contributionsIncredibly beautiful room that if you like books you need to see it. Easy to access and people are friendly.Written May 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- MidwestKathMDetroit, MI505 contributionsWould have loved to spend some time in this cemetery but it was late on a Friday afternoon so no parking allowed on the surrounding streets. Thus it became a drive-by where I hopped out of the car to go into the cemetery and shoot a couple photos without taking the time to read all the signage surrounding the monument. Recommend going earlier in the day when on-street parking is available or use a nearby parking garage. That said, it was kind of awesome to stand in front of the monument remembering Edgar Allan Poe whose stories I read back in elementary school!!Written May 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Chelsea MTowson, MD220 contributionsThis is a really nice zoo with a good assortment of animals. The elephant enclosure seemed small but every animal seemed well taken care of. The signs for parking at the zoo are not very clear, so we got a little lost. I also did not care for walking through the old enclosures. It really made me sad and not want to go further, but maybe that is a work in progress for something better. Overall it was a nice zoo and we would come back.Written November 30, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- mothersboardMaryland13 contributionsI've been here several times over the years for concerts and it never disappoints. It's size alone leaves you in awe and prepare to do some walking especially if your seats are up high. There are many food options and they have really nice inside seating to eat at where you can watch the event from the inside.Written April 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Tatiana BLexington Park, MD7 contributionsWes was a great flight instructor and worked hard to make the experience great for everyone in our group. Very positive and upbeat, definitely recommend this experience!Written September 7, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
