Thrifty Travel Fun: Baltimore, MD

Posted on 4:53 PM by
What is there to do with kids in Baltimore? Lots, and you don't have to break the piggy bank!
1. Does your family have a sweet tooth? Bring them to The Fudgery! Take a tour to learn how fudge is made, and pick up some freshly-made fudge on the way out (the perfect "thanks for taking care of the cats while we were gone" gift!). Think The Fudgery is just about fudge? Think again! You'll also be treated to some first-rate entertainment: the fudgemakers are prone to bursting into song and dance while they work. Famous performer Sisqo got his start behind the counter at The Fudgery, and it seems his legacy has "stuck" around!

2. All that fudge left that munchkins with a little extra energy? Better head to Rash Field in Baltimore's Inner Harbor  Have some fun in the sand during the warmer months (there are seven sand volleyball courts, and lots of amateur and professional matches to watch), or strap on ice skates and glide out onto the outdoor rink during the winter.

3. The National Electronics Museum is a gem for older kids: they'll get an understanding of the invisible electrical world that surrounds us, learn about Morse code and the Bell Telephone in the Communications Gallery, make the connection between Cold War radar technology and the microwave in your kitchen, and more. Admission is free!
