Maryland Science Center
Three floors of exhibits include the popular Outer Space Place, home of the Hubble Space Telescope National Visitor Center and Space Link, which offers a live connection to NASA. Sometimes the exhibits are too crowded or have limited interest, but the IMAX theater and planetarium are always worth a visit. The IMAX theater presents shows as diverse as Beauty and the Beast and Space Station 3D. IMAX is so popular, extra screenings are available Friday and Saturday evenings for $9 per ticket. A new wing opened in May 2004 with DinoQuest, an exhibit devoted to the study of fossils and the lives of dinosaurs, a health and human body exhibit, plus room for traveling exhibits. The stars are on display at the Davis Planetarium or the Crosby Ramsey Memorial Observatory (open Thurs and Sun nights free of charge).

Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame
This museum offers a look at 350 years in the history of lacrosse, America's oldest sport and a passion in Maryland. Displays include photographs and murals of athletes at play, sculptures and paintings, vintage equipment and uniforms, a multimedia show, a documentary, "More than a Game: A History of Lacrosse," and a Hall of Fame. Hours of operation occasionally change, so call before you visit.

American Visionary Art Museum
Look for the "Whirligig," a 55-foot multicolored, wind-powered sculpture at the front of this curvaceous building. Visionary art is created by people without artistic training but feel compelled to draw, paint, or build a ship with matchsticks. Everything is fascinating; some can be quite troubling. And the artists' stories can be as interesting as their art. The museum's three stories contain rooms that are as soothing as the art is vivid. From the moment you set your eyes on Emery Blagdon's "Healing Machines" mobile hanging down three floors, you'll be entranced. Some exhibits are too strong for children, and the museum will alert you about that. Other exhibits are a joy that children would love. A sculpture barn and sculpture garden are filled with other delights. The AVAM is also home to Joy America Café and an offbeat gift shop on the first floor. AVAM is adding new exhibit space and sculpture garden due to open in 2004.
