You can find anything you need for your lawn and garden in the nursery, which has numerous items to match the season. But the best thing about Valley View Farms is the elaborate Christmas decorating that takes place every year. Dozens of trees in every shape, theme, and color are on display inside with thousands of lights and ornaments spread about. You can find nearly any ornament or Christmas item you want here, but some of the prices can be on the high side, so spend wisely. Well worth the stop, even if to window shop and take pleasure in simple things and Christmas.

Was leaving Baltimore vacation & was suggested to go here (Babe Ruth Museum), I would give this place a 5 star if they had included something for the 9-11 fire dept/rescue as they should! The place was not far off the Hwy behind a building, was much larger & more informative than you expect, the people there do want you to enjoy yourself & will go out of the way to explain things! GO!

As an avid mountain biker and even lover of singletrack, I rented a bike and took a spin around this trail. Nice use of the area and fun flow. Really easy for occasional riders or beginners. There are some places where more advanced riders will see lines to catch speed for some air off rocks or roots. Nice scenery for the area and enjoyable ride. People on the trail were very friendly. I went in on the southern side next to the LDS church.

Everything is home cooked and deliciously made by the Amish. I love this place! Homemade everything...and very well done. I love stopping by most of the booths...prepared seafood entrees to go, hot pretzels, fresh vegetables very well priced, and the most amazing traditional bakery full of home baked goodies. The Amish country brought to us in Hunt Valley. A must stop a couple of times a month for our family.

The National Lacrosse Hall of Fame and Museum recently moved to a new location at the US Lacrosse Headquarters in the Baltimore suburb of Sparks, Maryland. The museum has interesting memorabilia, photos and other displays about the history of America's oldest sport. It is a fairly small museum (my visit was about 30 minutes) but worth a visit (in my opinion) if you are a lacrosse fan and live in the Baltimore area (or happening to be visiting the Baltimore area). Admission and parking are free. The museum is located in a business office park in Sparks, MD near I-83 and is open 9AM to 5PM Monday thru Friday (closed on weekends)
