Overview

Ages 5-12 recommended for scavenger hunt sheets
All ages for audio portion of the tour.

This tour allows adults to hear the in-depth history of some of the best stops along Baltimore's Inner Harbor while providing activities to keep young guests occupied.

Starting at American Visionary Art Museum and it's very affordable gift shop provides items to keep little ones engaged when the grown ups are talking too much.

The second stop at the beautiful Rash Fields lets kiddos do some swinging, sliding, and climbing to get out excess energy.

The massive USS Constellation and brightly colored dragon paddle boats, looking out for dolphins and oysters, and finding homophones on the wordwalk are all part of this engaging two hour tour that leaves plenty of time to revisit the sites we explore.

All youth guests receive a scavenger hunt sheet to make history fun and engaging. Grown ups are allowed to help kids complete the sheet!
