The Baltimore Aquarium

The Baltimore Aquarium is a very nice aquarium. I was a bit surprised by how small it is but if you take your time going through the various levels and everything the aquarium has to offer you can spend at least a half-day or more. When you arrive grab a sheet with the special program and talk times listed so you can plan out your day. The dolphins were the highlight for all of us.

Dining in Baltimore with Kids

Medieval Times

Medieval Times is a fun dinner show for families. Our children were very entertained and engaged during the show. The meal was fairly kid-friendly too. Although my son was a little thrown off by not having a spool for the soup (you drink it in a mug). The show gets everyone cheering for their team and is great for all ages.

Phillips Seafood

Phillips Seafood is a Maryland staple. When we visited in our 20s my husband and I enjoyed their seafood buffet. While visiting Baltimore we first headed to Philips for their happy hour. The kids were exhausted from the Port Discovery museum and both passed out in their strollers. We headed to one of the high-top tables in the bar area and enjoyed their happy house specials.

Another day we decided to head back for dinner when the kids were awake to enjoy some of Philips’s fresh seafood. We sat outside at picnic tables with views of the harbor.

McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood & Steaks Happy Hour

McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood & Steaks is known for having great happy hour. It is the best value you will find in any city. The Burgers and Fish tacos are definitely the best value overall as they are a meal themselves. The other appetizers are also delicious although less filling.
