The Baltimore Museum of Industry Insider Tips
- Definitely take advantage of the guided tour that is available free with your visit, as you are more likely to see demonstrations and a history of Baltimore which you would not normally see on your self guided journey.
- Onsite Parking is free and ample.
- This museum offers a military discount.
- I think that this museum is more suited for the older school aged child and above. I would steer my visit to the family centered events that are offered which would add some flair or the youngest ones might be a little bored, as there are not a lot of hands on activities to keep them occupied.
