Families can journey back millions of years in Dinosaur Mysteries, digging for fossil casts in realistic quarry pits and standing beneath full-scale replica skeletons of T-Rex and Astrodon (Maryland's state dinosaur). In 'The Shed' maker laboratory, school-age kids and parents work side-by-side using real hand tools, circuits, and recycled materials to engineer flying gizmos, bridges, and gravity ball tracks. Young toddlers can escape into the enclosed Kids Room, complete with water tables, boat locks, tactile sensory walls, and gentle play zones designed exclusively for under-eights. Family Experience & Amenities: • Stroller Accessibility: Fully ADA accessible with wide elevators connecting all 3 levels. Strollers and wagons are welcome throughout all main galleries (stroller parking areas outside the Planetarium and demo stages). • Toddler Highlights: The dedicated Kids Room water play area includes waterproof aprons and hand dryers, plus an enclosed soft-carpet crawler zone. • Nursing & Restrooms: Family restrooms with clean diaper changing counters on every floor; a quiet nursing retreat is available in the Kids Room. • Weekend Tips: Bring a spare change of clothes for toddlers playing at the water tables. Check out the harbor roof deck for stunning panoramic views of the Baltimore skyline. ## Similar picks in Baltimore - [STEM Challenge: Pumpkin Catapult (Pennsylvania Avenue Library)](https://grassyknees.com/baltimore/activities/stem-challenge-pumpkin-catapult-pennsylvania-avenue-library--listing-b5003b1e6391a6a44cbdde54) — Thu, Nov 12 · 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM · Enoch Pratt Free Library – Pennsylvania Avenue Branch · checked Oct 15.
