This garden is right next to the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse and McCormick & Schmick’s restaurant. It offered great shade while walking to the lighthouse to give us a break from the blazing sun. Beautiful area.

$1 cash to visit the lighthouse. We paid the woman that was inside the lighthouse at the counter and then walked around inside. Great views inside of the lighthouse looking outside at the harbor, federal hill park, etc. Stairs to go up to the lighthouse is very sturdy and I felt safe. They have information in the light house about its history, what they used in it, tools, bed, past lighthouse keepers, etc. I had e-mail correspondence with Dayna and she was very helpful with pricing and hours of operation for the lighthouse since the hours for it really depend on staffing each day.

This is a small little kiosk that is right next to the USCG Lightship Chesapeake. Nice lady but when I asked where the museum was she told me there was no museum that the museums were the ships. However, later on as I was walking around I found there was a building labeled museum which was the USS Constellation Museum which is what I wanted since it had the penny press machine inside. We did not tour any of the ships but we did check out the lighthouse ($1 admission inside). Ships they have are the USCGC Taney, USS Constellation, Chesapeake, and the USS Torsk. They are located at the Inner Harbor in downtown Baltimore. They are spread between the piers – pier 1, 3, and 5. You can purchase a squadron pass and go to 2 ships or you can get the fleet pass and go to 4 ships. Pricing and other information are located on their website.

This is a strip mall that is located near the Arundel Mills mall (largest mall in MD). We went here to get some ice cream at Cold Stone. There are plenty of parking spots. They have multiple places to shop, eat and that offer services such as a bank, Panera Bread, Safeway, Starbucks, Massage Envy, Hair Cuttery, etc.

This free trail is one you can walk/hike, run, or ride your bike on. It is over 250 miles. We walked on part of it since a portion of it is inside of the fort/national monument/shrine. It was a great walk. On it you have beautiful views of Baltimore and the harbor. Worth walking even if you just do some of it. Great exercise and it is a safe area.
