Baltimore trip complete. If anyone is heading down for a couple of days, there is a discount museum pass option at the visitors center. We visited the aquarium, port discovery children's museum, Top of the World Observatory and African American Museum and you basically get the latter two for free plus a few extra dollars off - which you could see in 2 1/2 days easily. The aquarium was great, best I've visited (have not been to ATL Aq yet). AA museum was really not for kids so wife and I just took in what we could. The observatory was a throw-in, fine to go to when it's free. Children's Museum was fun for the kids. Ironically there is a beer garden right outside the museum, which we had to visit as well. We did not get to any restaurants outside the inner harbor, so we ended up with Phillips for our seafood night, which was decent for a tourist trap. We also had a recommendation for LP Steamers but opted to stay local. We took one short cab ride when we first arrived. I asked the cabbie about walking around in the area and he proceeded to tell me about a couple of crimes a traffic light or two away. It was a pretty obvious play to push for us to use the cab instead of walking but do you really want to sell that image to your bread and butter customers? I'd definitely recommend our hotel - Hilton Garden Inn Inner Harbor. $180/night with taxes included. They had a welcome reception for HH members first night we arrived, staff was very nice and the hotel is clean. There's an excellent gym attached that had 3 pools plus hot tub - one pool dedicated for kids. Starbucks, parking garage also attached to the hotel and there was a whole foods across the street. Everything you'd need is in walking distance and it's relatively safe. 2.5 days in bmore was plenty. The only way I would have extended out another night was if we caught an orioles game but my kids (and wife) would never sit through that.
