1. Hampton National Historic Park
Take a step back in history to Hampton, a preserved 18th-century estate. The property contains a Georgian manor house, gardens that have been restored to resemble their beauty in the 1820s, lavish grounds, and the original stone slave quarters, all built by the Ridgely family of Baltimore. At the time of its completion in 1790, it was the largest private home in the country. Take a tour of this national treasure with a guide that grants you access inside the mansion or self-guide yourself around the grounds of this magnificent site.
A nature lovers dream come true. Hike or bike the trails, rent a motorboat, kayak or canoe, cast a line…the world is your oyster at Loch Raven Reservoir. Fed by the Big Gunpowder Falls river with a capacity of 23 billion US gallons of water, Loch Raven provides hours of entertainment and fresh air to locals and tourists alike. Hikers and bikers can expect to see a wide variety of birds, including ravens, cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers, and even bald eagles, as well as a lush and varied array of plants and trees, including oaks, beeches, maples, poplars, raspberries, and wild roses. Also, be sure to read about the UFO sightings dating back to the 1950s.
Experience the classic Baltimore sport of duckpin bowling. It’s similar to 10 pin, just smaller pins and smaller balls…we like a challenge in Charm City. Step back in time and enjoy a few frames in this 16-lane, vintage alley from 1946. Tally up your totals with a good ole golf pencil and paper, and play an arcade game in between matches. Classic times, classic fun for all ages.
