Get ready for a fun-filled family adventure as we head to Baltimore for a day packed with unforgettable moments at the Maryland Zoo and the National Aquarium.

We’ll kick things off with an early departure—but think of it as the start of the adventure. Settle into our comfortable coach, relax, and maybe even sneak in a little extra sleep as we make our way south.

Our first stop is the Maryland Zoo, one of the oldest in the nation, dating back to 1876, and home to over 1,500 amazing animals. From the moment you arrive, there’s something to capture everyone’s attention. Watch powerful lions during a training demonstration, laugh at playful penguins as they dive and glide through the water, or waddle along on land. As you explore, you’ll encounter wildlife from around the globe, blending fun with fascinating discoveries at every turn.

Then we’re off to Baltimore’s vibrant Inner Harbor, where the renowned National Aquarium awaits. Welcoming over 1.5 million visitors each year and consistently ranked among the top aquariums in the country, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss. Feel the excitement as dolphins splash nearby, come face-to-face with sharks and sea turtles, and even reach out to touch a jellyfish for a truly hands-on moment. Every exhibit brings you closer to the wonders of the ocean.

To keep everyone energized, a boxed lunch will be provided between our visits—giving you time to relax, recharge, and get ready for more exploration. This is a great adventure for kids and adults alike. Come along and don’t forget to invite your friends and their friends.
