Where to take a 1 yr old?

Hey ladies!

D' will be 1 yr old on the 29th.  His party is on the 30th but we both took the day off to spend with him on his b-day as a fam.  I know it's his 1st & he won't remember anything but we want to take him somewhere fun.  We were planning on the zoo but his Thursday daycare group is doing a trip there on the 25th.  We don't want to take him to the DC zoo until he's a little older & can enjoy it more since it'll be a long trip there & back.

What is there to do in Baltimore/surrounding area for a 1 yr old??

  • We took DD to the science center for her 1st bday. Aquarium might be fun too, honestly a fun playground or petting zoo and some ice cream might be a great day for a LO!

  • Have you been to Annie's Playground, in Bel Air? They have a tot park for 2-5 years, and my DD loves it. She can really climb and walk all over the place.

    Also I would possible check out the B&O Railroad museum or Port Discovery.

  • We just took LO to the aquarium last week, we had fun, he wasn't interested.  I would suggest the aquarium, your LO may enjoy it, or Port Discovery. 

    BTW...howdy neighbor....I'm in Nottingham as well!

  • There is tons of places to go....as pp's mentioned:  aquarium and port discovery are great, but they are expensive, and can be over-stimulating for that age group.  

     I like the B&O museum idea, I also really like the Petting Zoo idea.  There's a GREAT one in Clarksville that I still take my 3.5 year old too.  It's called Clark's Elioak Farm

  • The kids I nanny for have LOVED the Aquarium since they were 6 months old. They have a great area where you walk down and see tons of sharks, fish, and stingrays swimming around. I'd avoid the dolphin show as there is lots of talking and not a lot of dolphin action. Your DS might like it when he is older.

    Clark's Eliaok Farm is also great.

  • We did the same thing for M's birthday.  We took him to Chesapeake Children's Museum in Annapolis.  He had a great time there and then we went to downtown Annapolis and walked around.  We capped the day by having dinner/ice cream. 

    I would second the Science Center.  It has more stuff for kids at that age to do and IMO would be a better fit than the Aquarium or Pt Discovery.

     And ITA Clark's Eliaok Farm is great.  We took M there two days before his bday (when he was still free ;)

    Yay Nottingham!  We're close to the Fullerton area, how about you?
