During your Baltimore vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Port Discovery
This is a kid-powered museum where in exhibits covering three floors, kids of all ages (though mostly ages 6-12) can cross the Nile to explore ancient Egypt, climb through a kitchen drain as they solve a mystery in Miss Perception's Mystery House, and climb and play on the three-story-high Kidworks. Walt Disney Company "Imagineers" designed most of the exhibits. Adding to the activity are some high-tech toys in the PD Kid Club, where children use computers to compose music, shoot videos, or produce their own cartoons. Oasis Story Times are offered at 11am Monday through Saturday in summer and Tuesday through Saturday during the school year.As part of a visit -- or on its own -- visitors can take a trip on a tethered helium balloon that rises 450 feet above Baltimore. The HiFlyer (tel. 410/949-2359) can carry 20 passengers (including up to three wheelchairs) for the 20-minute ride. It flies 11:30am to 8pm (until 10pm Fri and Sat) daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day, with weekend hours September through May whenever the weather's agreeable. You can see to the city's limits.
Edgar Allan Poe's Grave
Three modest memorials in this old graveyard recall the poet who wrote "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Raven" (the only poem to inspire an NFL team's name). After his mysterious death at age 40 in 1849, Poe's relatives erected a small gravestone. Before the stone could be installed, a train crashed through the monument yard and destroyed it. In the century since, the site has been adorned with three newer monuments: the main memorial, which features a bas-relief bust of Poe; a small gravestone adorned with a raven at Poe's original burial lot; and a plaque placed by the French, who, thanks to the poet Baudelaire, enjoy some of the best translations of Poe's works. The poet is remembered on his birthday every January 19 when a mysterious "Poe Toaster" leaves half a bottle of cognac and three roses at the grave. On the weekend closest to Poe's birthday, a party is held in his honor. A Halloween tour is also scheduled each year.
Passport
An attraction more suited to a theme park, Passport offers visitors two "experiences": Time Elevator America and Oceanarium 2. Both are 20-minute movies, shown in theatres with seats that bump and twist and special effects such as mist and wind. There are stationary seats, too. Neither has any real Baltimore ties -- although opening footage was shot on Baltimore's Federal Hill, neighborhoods, and the National Aquarium. Time Elevator tells of a man traveling through time back to colonial days. It's well acted with a story that's more engrossing than Oceanarium. But if you love fish, Oceanarium is a better choice for its cinematography. Neither is up to Disney quality, but it's a fun if pricey diversion in the Inner Harbor. A new show begins every 15 minutes. You can purchase tickets for the next show or in advance in person or online.
Days Inn Inner Harbor
If you're willing to give up proximity to the harbor (by 2 or 3 blocks), you can get a great deal at this modern nine-story hotel. And if the stadium or convention center are in your plans, they are practically neighbors. It's got a great setup for business travelers, including "work zone" rooms that offer large desks, a kitchenette, and plenty of room. But they all have the comfort you expect from this chain. It's between the First Mariner Arena and convention center, and 3 blocks from Camden Yards. Guest rooms offer standard chain-motel furnishings. A fitness center was added in 2003.
Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore
If you love grand old hotels with modern conveniences, this is the one for you. The Lord Baltimore opened in 1928. It has changed hands several times, but this 23-story French Renaissance-style hotel retains its old-fashioned charm. The entrance features marble columns, hand-carved artwork, brass fixtures, and chandelier. The small but quiet guest rooms are newly refurbished in soft colors. Parlor suites, which offer extra room, and a plaza level for those who must be pampered, have been added. There's a B&B package for added convenience. In the heart of the theater and financial districts, it's convenient to Mount Vernon attractions with the Inner Harbor only 5 blocks away.
