Just not a fun place. Unless you are sitting at the bar you can't get timely drinks wherever you gamble....slots, table games, etc. I don't understand....the drinks are not complimentary. Why wouldn't they hire more waitresses? I believe an hour plus wait for someone to come around is absurd. When you pass by the slot machine area you hardly ever hear
2. Heavy Seas Brewery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 68 reviews
Reviewed By Mark H - Laurel, Maryland
Several people from my office went there for happy hour. (This rating concerns the bar area and not the tours). One plus is the Heavy Seas line of beers. The actual bar inside is quite small; the outside terrace is twice the size. By 5:30 the place is packed. Not sure how good it would be if the weather was bad and the outside area was not available. Dogs and children seemed welcomed on the terrace. Food is available from a food truck next to the outside terrace. Pizzas, burgers and appetizers available. If you like Heavy Seas beer, you should go.
For those interested in the tours, I have done those and they are really good.
3. Lurman Woodland Theatre

My boyfriend & I visited this location, for the first time, this Summer. All shows are free, which is a plus. We really enjoyed the Steely Dan cover band which performed in the evening. The show attendees were mostly middle aged, which is a plus, because the atmosphere was fun but calm. Bring your own lawn chairs or blanket and you can also take your own food & beverages (I don't think you can bring alcohol though). Since it's a smaller venue, anywhere you decide to sit provides a good view of the stage and is not a long walk to the restrooms and food trucks. The outdoor venue is very well maintained and there is a slight elevation as you go towards the back area. This is good because you can see the stage better no matter where you position your lawn chair. There are enough trees to provide a good amount of shade. There was a slight breeze in the air which made it more comfortable. For the kids, they have a sand box and we observed this really helped to keep them occupied, during the show. There is ample free parking available and you can also park on the high school grounds which is across the way from the venue. Plan to get there at least one hour, before the show, to get a parking space closer to the entrance as well as to select a preferred spot for your lawn chair. It's best to sit a little further away from the stage because of the speakers. Restrooms were clean and they also a few portable restrooms (though I do not use those) additionally. Do an internet search to find their website for the calendar of events, rules, etc. because they do not have a phone number for contacting.
4. Sagamore Spirit Distillery

Committed to putting Maryland back on the map as the premier distiller of Rye Whiskey. Sagamore Spirit's 8-time award winning Straight Rye Whiskey is cut to proof with a unique spring-fed water from Sagamore Farm. The world-class waterfront distillery is open daily for tours and tastings.
Reviewed By Scott M - Lancaster, Pennsylvania
When we pooled up to the outside of the Sagamore Distillery it was quickly apparent that the organization was not short on funding. The building is beautiful and impressive. Other new distilleries that I have visited are usually little corners of old warehouses. We took a tour which was very enjoyable. Our guide however, Lo, was either disenchanted with the ownership are just a snide individual that really didn't want to give us any clear answers to our questions. The rye was delicious and I recommend a visit and tour.

One of major league baseball's newest stadiums, the Orioles' home field has the intimate feel and charm of an old-fashioned park.
Reviewed By rochestertraveler17 - Rochester, New York
We didn't realize our trip to Baltimore coincided with opening day. We managed to buy tickets online the night before and attend the Orioles season opener. What a great experience we had at this beautiful ballpark.
We had a problem with one of our tickets not scanning at the gate. A staff person walked us over to the ticket office and helped get it straightened out, then walked us back through security to be sure we were good.
6. B&O Railroad Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 150 reviews
The B&O Ellicott City Station Museum is the oldest surviving train station in America, also many would argue that it is also the first station in America in general. The station was originally established as Freight Station only with passengers loading and unloading from a platform attached to the second story of the hotel that once existed across the street from the platform. In the 1850's the B&O decided to transform the station for passenger use as well as freight. The station was also an important transportation hub during the civil war moving both supplies and troops for the Union. The station continued as a passenger station until December 31st 1949 and as Freight Station until the 1970's. The station was than converted to a museum and is listed under the National Register of Historic Places. The management of the Museum has changed throughout the years, with Howard County Recreation and Parks taking over management from the site in September of 2017

The B&O Railroad Museum outside of Baltimore is a great stop for a train lover. There is a lot to see, starting with the locomotives and rolling stock outside, to the completely restored roundhouse inside. The car shop has been virtually left as is, complete with the smell of oil and grease soaked into the floors. It is truly a step back in time. There is also a great model railroad. One of the nicer railroad museums you will visit.

Yesterday, we were invited to The Walters Museum to see our grand-daughter’s art work that was being displayed as part of the Baltimore County Public School Student Art Exhibition. We were thrilled – this is the second time her artwork has been selected to hang at The Walters Museum. We were indeed very proud grandparents!
In addition, we took the time to walk thru and enjoy From Rye to Raphael: The Walters Story. This exhibit tells the story about the Walters family gift of art to Baltimore. We viewed 200 works, plus family photographs and historic material taken from the archives.
We were thrilled to see the exhibition: Fabergé and the Russian Crafts Tradition: An Empire’s Legacy. Faberge was a jeweler and goldsmith to the Russian imperial court. Like everyone, we were so taken with the intricate details that went into making a Faberge egg. In addition to creating the most beautiful eggs, Faberge also made rich colored enamels, gold and silver vessels, stunning jewelry and icons. He and his team embodied talent.
The museum is free and wheel chair accessible.

This was a nice experience. I do recommend watching the short film. It will really make you proud of the U.S.A. The rangers there were friendly. However I do not recommend paying the fees. The best parts of the fort are free.

Interesting staff, at a recent corporate event here we enjoyed looking at many old books and had someone on staff tell stories about the history behind the library and the book collection. Hard to park here , we did have a let parking for the event. I don’t think you can access much of the library in general we understand it is used for research
10. American Visionary Art Museum

Be prepared for the unusual and imaginative at this museum housing works by non-mainstream artists, including the "whirligig", a 55-foot wind-powered sculpture, a 10-foot model of the Lusitania made entirely out of match sticks and a mobile that spans three floors.
Reviewed By MethuselahSeven - Maywood, New Jersey
There's a free tour that offers so much information. The art is inventive and inspiring. Their collection seems more experimental, modern, infused with a lot of humor. I was grateful for a BOGO coupon, otherwise the $15.95 per person ticket price would have put quite a dent in our excursion budget.
