About Me

We love to travel and find new things to do together as a family. This blog shares our thoughts about the places we explore, mainly in the Metropolitan DC area (Maryland, DC, Northern Virginia, sometimes referenced at the DMV). And, occasionally we will write about places we visit on our vacations. Sometimes you just wish someone had told you "Don't waste your time or money" before you went somewhere, or sometimes you're going on vacation and want some insight on family-friendly things to do. We hope this blog will come in handy for you and your family. If you have suggestions for places to visit, please share them with us. Happy reading!

Port Discovery Children's Museum

This museum combines learning and fun with 3 floors of activities for the young ones!  Located close to the Baltimore Inner Harbor, the museum is a good place to stop for a couple hours to let the kids blow off some steam.

Activities include an adventure in Egypt, solving a mystery with Miss Perception, "working" in the convenience store, fill'er up station and diner, being creative in the art studio, learning about the wonders of water, hiking the tot trails, and playing in the soccer and games stadium. In the middle of the museum is a 3-story urban tree house. The kids spent a good portion of the visit climbing up and down this thing!  (I even saw some teenagers and parents in there.) After every exhibit they would run back for a quick climb.

We went there for a birthday party and I think the kids over 7 years old were bored but the little ones absolutely loved it.
Kid's View: "It was fun but a little confusing because of the different floors, I kept getting lost. The best part was the giant climbing area in the middle. I think it's more for little kids than kids my age though."
