Things To Do
The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore
While we'll be getting married on the zoo grounds, you can also explore the zoo itself! Home to more than 1,500 animals from 200 species, the zoo is not only impressive in its range, but it's also one of the country's oldest, dating back to 1876.
Druid Hill Park
Druid Hill Park is a huge and gorgeous park that contains the Maryland zoo, and it's one of the reasons we decided to settle down in this part of the City. Will runs around this park (and beyond) on a near daily basis!
Hampden - The Avenue
Our neighboring community of Hampden is one of our favorite places to hang out. Like Woodberry, where we live, it was originally built around the Jones Falls mills to provide homes for the millworkers. Some of our favorite places to eat here include Ekiben, Golden West Cafe, and Blue Pitt BBQ (our caterers!)
The Charmery
The Charmery has two locations near our venue, and our favorite ice cream in the city - with some seriously good competition too. It's one of our favorite ways to end a date!
The Walters Art Museum
Jayne used to visit this free museum often as an art student. It's located in the beautiful Mt Vernon neighborhood, where Will lived in his first apartment at The Stafford!
Baltimore's Inner Harbor
The Baltimore Inner Harbor has everything, from scenic waterfront views to spectacular museums. You can go on a sightseeing cruise to see the city from a different perspective, or try paddle boat, kayak or sailboat if you want to get a little more adventurous.
National Aquarium
The National Aquarium is a leading favorite for locals and visitors alike. See 20,000 different animals in award-winning habitats, including a tropical rainforest and an Australian river gorge.
Reginald F. Lewis Museum
The Reginald F. Lewis Museum is an incredible resource for information and inspiration about the lives of African American Marylanders. As a student at UMD, Jayne's design cohort collaborated with students from Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts on "Bmore than the Story," a 2017 exhibit at this museum about the Baltimore Uprising.
Little Italy
Located just a few blocks from Baltimore’s picturesque Inner Harbor, Little Italy holds its own as a cozy haven of Italian culture and delicacies. Jayne used to visit this neighborhood with her mom and Grandpa Sam to get authentic Cannoli cake from Vaccaro's!
Port Discovery Children's Museum
We highly recommend this for guests with younger kids! Port discovery features hands-on experiences, interactive exhibits, and entertaining programs all designed to spark imaginations and help children and adults connect, discover, and learn through play.
American Visionary Art Museum
A Museum like no other! This is the nation’s museum for self-taught, intuitive and folk artistry. If you find yourself in Fed Hill / Southern Baltimore we highly recommend you check it out!
Maryland Science Center
Another super cool museum for kids of all ages is the Maryland Science Center! three floors of interactive exhibits designed to feed your imagination and invite you to have fun.
B&O Railroad Museum
Like many little boys, Will loved learning about trains, and unlike many little girls Jaynie loved learning about history! The perfect combination of both, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum is an museum and historic railway station exhibiting historic railroad equipment.
