[quote=Anonymous]I agree with 12:20. The trip actually sounds kind of boring for the kids (sorry).

Cross Street Market is pretty small and while Federal Hill is good for walking around and shopping, it's not somewhere I would take three kids unless they liked browsing in and out of little stores. Canton has been improved a lot in the last 10 years, but I don't know what kids would find interesting about it -- I've never been to the "water front park" but the Canton square is two blocks long with bars and restaurants surrounding it. It's great for me to go out with my girlfriends, but I wouldn't go out of my way to bring my kids there.

I would suggest starting the day at either the Aquarium or the Science Center, and then having a picnic lunch at Ft. McHenry in the afternoon. You can park at FMH and take the water taxi over to the Harbor. When you're done with the Aquarium/Science Center, take the taxi back to FMH. (There is a lot to see just walking around the Inner Harbor, as a PP mentioned). This way, you'd only pay for one of the main attractions in the Inner Harbor, which would still make it an economical trip.

Ft. McHenry *is* nice and pretty, and a PP had a good suggestion for bringing kites and frisbees and such (and maybe the 2 y/o would nap on a blanket after a busy morning).

Good luck! I lived in Baltimore for 10+ years and love the city. I take my kids back often but we're usually visiting family/friends and not sight seeing so much.[/quote]
