Embark on a family trip to Baltimore, Maryland, to experience a winter wonderland and the magic of the holiday season. Charm City offers a joyous escape with classic holiday activities, holiday markets and more. Families can immerse themselves in holiday cheer with these unique Baltimore events:
Lace up your skates and prepare to skate around at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor Ice Rink. The open-air ice rink offers a breathtaking backdrop for wintertime skating. Whether a skating pro or hitting the ice for the first time, Inner Harbor Ice Rink offers tons of fun for the family.
You don’t have to travel to Germany to experience authentic German Christmas traditions. Head to the German Christmas Village in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and browse through charming wooden booths with bright lights and festive decorations. The booths will have Christmas goodies from handcrafted ornaments, delicious treats and unique gifts. Don’t forget to fill up on German sausages and pretzels and (for parents) wash it down with a mug of mulled wine.
On select dates in November and December, climb aboard the Polar Express Train Ride for a magical journey to the North Pole. Join the crew as they take travelers on a festive journey through a snow-covered wonderland with singing elves, dancing bears and a visit with Santa Claus. Onboard, sip on warm cider, enjoy delicious cookies and get in the holiday spirit with festive activities.
