In the Dinosaur Mysteries gallery, children can walk beneath full-size casts of Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops, unearth fossil replicas in an active field dig pit, and examine real prehistoric bones. In Newton's Alley, kids manipulate pulleys, inertia tables, water vortexes, and acoustic harps to understand fundamental physics through open-ended play. The centerpiece for young families is The Kids Room on the third floor, an enclosed play environment tailored exclusively for infants, toddlers, and young children up to age 8. The space includes a multi-level water play channel with waterproof smocks, a submarine sensory station, soft building blocks, and an enclosed quiet corner for nursing mothers and crawlers. Elevators connect all levels with generous stroller parking throughout. ## Similar picks in Baltimore - [Fossil Dig with the Science Guys of Baltimore](https://grassyknees.com/baltimore/activities/fossil-dig-with-the-science-guys-of-baltimore--listing-78d29f5ed7855b3b346b4929) — Fri, Nov 13 · 3:30 PM · Enoch Pratt Free Library – Hampden Branch · Ages 3–5 · checked Oct 14.
