“KidsWorks” at the Port Discovery Children’s Museum in Baltimore

Whether it is Fall break, Spring break, Christmas break or Summer vacation, if you have kids or are traveling with kids you are well aware of the fact that at certain times, they just need to be entertained.  Figuring out what will hold their interest may be a challenge, although in the city of Baltimore you have options.  Located close to many an excellent Baltimore restaurant is the Port Discovery Children’s Museum.  This is a place where adults can relax because the kids will be thoroughly captivated.

The museum is located in the center of the nightlife district, which may seem a bit off, but makes for the perfect day with the family as the the restaurants are plentiful–good for the adults, and the museum is great–good for the kids.   The museum is housed in what used to be the Fish Market Building.  This is a place where creativity and education walk hand in hand.  Most people tend to stay at the museum for a few hours, but this can really be an all-day event as there are so many exhibits, and there are cafes located throughout the museum that serve food for the sustenance necessary to keep up with, and to fuel the young ones.

And that sustenance, those young ones will need, as located within the museum is an exhibit entitled “KidsWorks“. This is a dream come true for many children, a three story jungle gym.  Amazing for an adult to look at, and incredible for a child’s eyes.  Too much in one place, the kids will be thrilled.  All of the other exhibits are positioned around this giant structure.   Parents are encouraged to climb the jungle gym, and most times they do find it necessary as their children can get off the gym at any level, and it may be nerve wracking trying to locate them.  But no fear, as climbing through the hoops and crossing the rope bridges and going down the slides may seem a bit exhaustive at first, this is one place where chasing after your child, is actually fun.
