Top 6 Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Baltimore, Maryland (MD)
Since the redevelopment of the Inner Harbor in the late 1970s, Baltimore has set the standard for urban renewal. While a good part of the city's action centers around the fun and festive Harbor area, where street entertainers, open-air concerts, fireworks and parades abound, the surrounding neighborhoods offer all sorts of interesting landmarks, unique shops and delicious restaurants. Wander around Fells Point, the oldest section of Baltimore, reminiscent of an old English village, complete with pubs and cobblestone streets. Take the kids to the aquarium and check out the imaginative creations at the American Visionary Art Museum. Or stop by the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum for an in-depth look at the Great Bambino's life. Baltimore is also renowned for its African-American heritage sites, plus festivals and cultural events that take place throughout the year. From historic places and harbor cruises to family friendly attractions and fabulous neighborhoods, Charm City is one of the top tourist destinations in the United States.

1. S.S. John W. Brown
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 29 reviews
One of three remaining Liberty Ships, the S.S. John Brown is open for tours by advance reservation.
Reviewed By G6820QBjamesm - Lake Norman, United States
This ship on the other side of the harbor in Baltimore is one of two World War II liberty ships that can be visited (out of almost 2700 built during the war)! The story behind the Liberty Ships is amazing-America pulled together to build the vehicles to get supplies and troops to Europe. As Americans age, the interest in the history of WWII is diminishing-a reason for us to stop and visit this example of American genius. Take the time to go under the harbor to the other side and support the fine volunteers who are keeping this history alive (at least for the time being). Thank them by showing up and admiring the American spirit in its unique form. Without our support, this ship may disappear for future generations . . .

We attended a promotional event, arranged by Bunny, at Urban Axes last week. We had never been there before and had no idea what to expect. We joined in with a larger group, had some beer/wine, had a little buffet style food, had a coach teach us safety and how to throw axes, and played in a tournament --- AND HAD A BLAST!!! What a fun thing to do for happy hour or some Saturday night or have a work team building event, have a party with friends there.... endless ideas.

5. Charm City Clue Room
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 36 reviews
Solve the puzzles and escape the room. Solve the mystery of Edgar Allan Poe's death or thwart a robbery on the B&O Railroad.

My girlfriend and I have played over 80 rooms, and we had a blast escaping at Charm City Clue Room! Each room is 1 hour; we escaped each with about 9 minutes left. It was only the 2 of us in each room. The Dark Carnival was our favorite of the 2 we played. Not only was the theme stellar, the puzzles were clever with creative twists. Not many puzzles use technology, which was a good thing as it resulted in unique puzzles we had to actually think about to solve. Also, in case you were worried, no - the room is not "scary" - it's fine for any adult, so be brave! The Poe room featured some fun surprises and several truly enjoyable puzzles! We had a brief tech failure during the game, and the Game Master were on it within seconds, getting us back on track seamlessly. The puzzles were incredibly creative and a joy to solve! We are already planning our return visit to conquer the remaining rooms!

We planned and scheduled a family event involving 6-8 family members and from the initial call to walking out the door was a completely pleasurable experience for everyone. We were able to receive discounted pricing and everyone (to include our flight instructor, Wes) were informative, professional, and enthusiastic!
