[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a car?

Trip 1: Baltimore

Drive to B'more -- day 1, Port Discovery ($14.50 per person = $29)

Stay overnight near BWI (La Quinta Inn is $105 plus tax, includes breakfast and has a pool = S119)

day 2: Maryland Science Center ($18.95 + $15.95 = $34.95)

Budget $50 for gas, parking tolls; you'll have about $70 left over for meals/incidentals.[/quote]

You can do this on the commuter train too.  If you go on a weekend it's pretty cheap to ride up to Baltimore, and very exciting for kids.

Sorry, I posted this backwards.  I meant to say "If you don't go on the weekend it's cheap". The train is very expensive on the weekend, because you have to take Amtrak.  It's cheap during the week because it's commuter rail.  The commuter rail trains are doubledecker, plus there's a trolley thing from the train station to the harbor, so lots of "novel" transportation, which is always fun.[/quote]

Not OP, but this sounds really great.  What is the commuter rail called?  If you don't take a car, is it easy to do both the Science Center and the Aquarium?

also, for the poster who suggested Richmond, we spent a long weekend there with 2 kids and the museums were really fun.  There was also a kids museum (but much smaller) near the stadium but I don't recall the name.  Stayed at a clean but lower end hotel with a pool and it turned out to be trip the kids remembered.[/quote]

You can easily walk from the Science Center to the Aquarium.  The walk takes you along the waterfront, and there are often street performers there to watch and boats to look at.  [/quote]
