Top of the World Observation Level
For a 360-degree view of Baltimore city, head for the 27th floor of the World Trade Center, the world's tallest pentagonal building, next to Harborplace. In addition to the fine view, you can acquire a bit of background about Baltimore from the exhibits, hands-on displays, and multimedia presentations. Renovations have improved viewing conditions and made it more accessible to disabled visitors. The only way to reach a higher altitude is Port Discovery's HiFlyer. This costs less, and the floor doesn't move.

Old St. Paul's Church
Originally founded in 1692 as one of Maryland's first Anglican parishes, this building dates to 1856. The church was built in Italian Romanesque style and is filled with Tiffany stained-glass windows and mosaics. A brochure outlining some of the treasures is available in the back of the church. The Tiffany rose window, which crowns the entrance, is a jewel many people miss. In addition, two friezes salvaged from the previous church, which burned in 1817, have been incorporated into the portico. In addition to Sunday services, the church is the site of a Tuesday noontime music series October through May.

Baltimore Zoo
It may be the third oldest zoo in the United States, but the staff here is doing their best to make it one of the most modern. Some 2,000 animals live here, including polar bears, prairie dogs, penguins, and tigers. As part of a $60 million renovation, cages in the Main Valley are being replaced with more modern habitats, and visitors will get a better look behind the scenes. Several exhibits are newly renovated, including the Polar Bear Watch, Chimpanzee Forest, Leopard Lair, and African Watering Hole. The children's zoo is a must-see with its lily pads, tree slide, farm animals, and Maryland wilderness exhibit. Plan to spend a few hours here. Bring a stroller for the little ones because that last hill to the exit can be daunting on a hot summer day.
