During your Baltimore vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) Railroad Museum
A heavy snowstorm in February 2003 caused the roof of the museum's roundhouse to collapse, all but destroying valuable engines, railroad cars and train memorabilia. The museum has remained closed while the roof was rebuilt and trains were repaired. The good news is this venerable repository of train history will reopen November 13,2004. American railroading got its start here when the B&O was chartered in 1827. The first locomotive, The Tom Thumb, was built here. The remarkable roundhouse has been restored. A new entrance, new exhibits, and a train ride will be part of the experience. Changes should make it easier for handicapped visitors and parents with strollers. Some of the rolling stock on track behind the roundhouse will now be open to visitors -- and that's good news. The second floor of the roundhouse has not been rebuilt but the model train exhibit will be located in a car outside. A short train ride is now part of the admission price with trains departing regularly every day April through December and weekends in January. (No rides in February-March.) Passengers will have a chance to see a new restoration facility under construction along the track.
