Many tourist attractions in Maryland and Washington, DC. One of my favorite summer spots to visit is the Baltimore Inner Harbor, located in Baltimore City. The Inner Harbor, a historic harbor in the 1700s that has now been transformed into the city limits, has been a popular Baltimore spot for people to visit all year round.
There are tons of restaurants, shops, and museums at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. The most popular attraction at the inner harbor is the National Aquarium in Baltimore. People really come to see the dolphin show, but there are over 560 different species like sharks, sting rays, and tropical birds to see. I recently visited the aquarium with my family. My one year old daughter was very excited to see all the big fish and places around in the huge glass tank. We always enjoy the tropical rainforest, a replica of an actual rainforest with a variety of tropical birds. The aquarium has specific times for entry, so it may be useful to go to their website to buy tickets online so that you can enter at the time you want.

At Garden Place and Gallery you can head for the inner Baltimore harbor or one of the many restaurants and eateries to eat. The Harbor Place connects with Pinacotheca, a four-level man market with tons of clothing for men, women and children.

I’m not big on science, but I love MarylandScience Center. This huge harbor museum hosts more than half a million visitors a year. A tourist can see the full size skeletons of some of the largest Dinosaurs that roamed the earth millions of years ago or can observe the galaxies of planets and stars from a telescope. In the state of Maryland, the Blue Crab is a favorite and beloved state symbol. At the Maryland Science Center, they have a “Track the Blue Crab” exhibit that shows the geography of the Blue Crab and Maryland Chesapeake. Bay.
The IMAX Theater is located in Maryland Science Theater for visitors to learn teaching in nature and science style. Currently, the IMAX Theater is showing the stories in Deep Sea, Wild Safari and Alaska.

Visit Power Plant, a strip of big-name restaurants and shops in the inner harbor such as ESPN Zone, Hard Rock Café, and Barnes and Noble. This area of hospitality takes its name from the huge power plant building that was founded in the 1900’s.
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor is also home to Camden Yards (home of Major League Baseball’s Baltimore Orioles) and M&T; Bank Stadium (Home of the National Football League’s Baltimore Ravens)
If you are a tourist visiting the District of Columbia, you should also visit the Port of Baltimore. The inner harbor is about 30 minutes from DC and very easy to find. For more information about Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, you can visit http://www.baltimore.to/baltimore.html.
