About this adventure
Kennedy Krieger Institute's Festival of Trees is a three-day Thanksgiving-weekend holiday celebration at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, held to raise money for the nearly 30,000 patients and students the Institute serves each year. Families come for the holiday atmosphere and the kids' area: an activity booth in the 'North Pole' hall sells activity packs with a wristband good for unlimited carousel, train, motorcycle and 'tubs of fun' rides plus fun-house walkthroughs, and Santa visits are part of the weekend. General admission is cheaper bought in advance online, and children 4 and under get in free. On Sunday morning a separately ticketed Holiday Princess Singalong opens the doors early with reduced crowds. Saturday night's Tinsel on Tap is a 21+ pop-up and not part of the family day.
