## About

Recognized as one of the nation's premier children's museums, Port Discovery in downtown Baltimore transforms chilly winter days into active, multi-sensory physical adventures. At the heart of the atrium rises the SkyClimber, a four-story netted climbing labyrinth featuring twisting rope bridges, observation turrets, and an exhilarating corkscrew slide.

Water-loving children flock to Wonders of Water to race stream boats, explore bubble tubes, and manipulate water currents. For infants and toddlers (ages 0–3), The Tot Orchard offers an enclosed, cushioned sensory haven with soft crawl hills, farm-to-table play bins, board books, and private nursing nooks. Further exhibits include a full-size kid-powered grocery store, retro 1950s diner, and sensory-friendly quiet break spaces equipped with calming weighted blankets and visual cue cards. Full elevator access and stroller parking are available on all floors.
