Is there any other interesting sites in Baltimore a 2yr old will be interested in viewing?

Taking my daughter to the Baltimore Aquarium, wanted to know is there any intersting things out there for us to doIs there any other interesting sites in Baltimore a 2yr old will be interested in viewing?
Absolutely - someone mentioned the dragon boats, but I think your best bet is Port Discovery, Baltimore's children's museum. I've included a link below. They advertise that they have programs for children from 2 -12. I think it would be ideal for you.



There is also a park on the south end of the harbor, just past the science museum (which is too old for her) where she can play - I think they have a sandbox and the like. She can also watch the boats and the birds.



One caveat and note - watch your child at the inner harbor - make sure you have her in a stroller or on your hand at all times. Two year olds can move fast - and there are places she could easily end up in the water all over the place!
She's not going to be terribly interested in sightseeing at two years of age, and that's not a thing you can change. Small, simple, brightly-colored items she can reach out and play with are what a two-year-old will be interested in. Be honest - it's YOU who wants to go sightseeing. So if you must take your child along, keep your excursions brief. Twenty minutes in the aquarium, then an equal amount of playtime for her - AWAY from the aquarium.

No, you can't see all there is to see there in twenty minutes. You can return multiple times, or you can wait a few years until the child is older. The aquarium isn't going to up and disappear in the meantime...Is there any other interesting sites in Baltimore a 2yr old will be interested in viewing?
Yes, the Aquarium and Port Discovery (if it's still open) are great ideas. You might also like the Baltimore Zoo and the B%26amp;O Railroad museum (with train rides available). Both were surprisingly good.
Of course...i live in Baltimore



they have the national aquarium and also the science center which both always have attractions for the little ones



and they also have paddle boats in the harbour that are made in to dragons there for the kids also!
