Free things to do in Baltimore

Baltimore Museum of Art As a major cultural destination for the greater Baltimore region, the Baltimore Museum of Art is home to the internationally renowned Cone Collection, and it holds the largest and most significant Matisse collection of works in the world. Outside the BMA walls, experience the lavish Sculpture Garden, featuring two terraced gardens, fountains and 34 sculptures. Every Sunday the museum hosts hands-on workshops and interactive gallery tours for families from 2 – 5 p.m. Don’t miss the museum’s Family Audio Tour, which highlights 20 objects in the collection. The tour is narrated by Raoudi, Matisse’s perky schnauzer; rather than headphones, the tour offers a handheld audio device that allows families to pause and chat about a work. Walk, wonder and create at the Walters Art Museum The museum owns more than 25,000 pieces of art and has free general admission, except for special exhibits. Bring the whole family to enjoy special family tours and activities for all ages. Children will enjoy the displays of knights' armor, the statues, the colorful paintings, the furniture, and the many small and lovely trinkets – including Faberge eggs. The museum provides a host of free family programs, from drop-in art classes on Saturdays and Sundays to museum tours with family-friendly guides. Head to thewalters.org/programs/familyfun to learn more about the Walters’ free programs.

American Visionary Art Museum's Sculpture Plaza and Wildflower Garden The exterior of the American Visionary Art Museum is almost as interesting as what you'll find inside. The building is surrounded by unique and curious sculptures, which you can explore for free! (But we suggest you buy a ticket and visit the intriguing collection and special exhibition on the inside!) Edgar Allan Poe's Grave Fascinated by strange and spooky places? Visit Poe and his wife, Virginia Clemm, in the Westminster Hall cemetery and keep a look out for the gravestones of some other prominent Maryland citizens. The cemetery is located at 519 West Fayette, on the corner of Fayette and Greene.

Inner Harbor on the scenic Water Taxi This free connector service operates daily along the city's Inner Harbor from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Free routes depart from the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Museum in Fell's Point to the Tide Point Pier in Locust Point, just a short walk away from Ft. McHenry. You can also connect from Tide Point Pier to the Canton Waterfront Park.
