Great ideas for fun with older kiddos in the Baltimore area.
Jerusalem Mill Historic Village
Jerusalem Mill is definitely a hidden gem for history lovers. This section of Gunpowder Falls State Park features historic buildings ranging in date from 1772 to 1930. The village is staffed on Saturdays and Sundays with volunteers that demonstrate the daily tasks and jobs of the people who lived in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Robinson Nature Center
Robinson Nature Center is easily one of the best nature centers in the Baltimore region. The outdoor facilities are matched only by the expansive and unique indoor exhibits. Families can learn about life in the forest, how our actions impact the Chesapeake Bay and take a look at deep space.
Rawlings Conservatory
The Rawlings Conservatory is another hidden gem in the city that is sure to please. The conservatory features 5 different greenhouses that highlight various climates including desert, Mediterranean, and tropical. It’s the perfect spot to visit if you’re in the mood to connect with nature!
B&O Railroad Museum
You may think that the B&O Museum is only good for the most diehard train fans, but you’ll quickly find yourself sucked in by the beautiful layout and fascinating information that the museum provides. Both the adults and the children in our group had a blast getting up-close with the trains on display and learning the interesting history of the B&O railroad!
HomeSlyce Pizza Bar
HomeSlyce Pizza Bar will please even the pickiest eaters in the crowd with their delicious and unique boat-shaped pizza. While the food is delicious, our favorite part of visiting may be the chance to play a few rounds of skeeball and darts after our meal!
Angel Park
Angel Park is one of the biggest, and coolest, playgrounds in the Baltimore area. Originally designed to accommodate the needs of all children, the park features all sorts of cool equipment that you’ve never seen before. Kids can zip line, ride a huge saucer swing and climb up a fairy tale tower!
