Attended an eighth grade graduation and the setup was done very comfortably.
My grandkids have been going to this center and with the after school program which helps out a lot.Staff is and always friendly. This passed May the very first Kiddie Prom the girls was so excited they did a great job the decoration and the meal I loved it. Now they will be doing the Summer Camp program they can’t wait.
Great members and dedicated Director
I really like this centre. It is within walking distance from my home. However, what makes it warm within its white stone walls are the people. When I first went to have a place to do my yoga, the director was absolutely pleasant and sensible to speak with. He and his team are kind. This made a vast impact on my returning. I have not used their programs, but I can tell they offer some innovative programs or courses. I am grateful for it and the people who run it. I look forward to returning to improve my yoga.

This a short visit of many different types of vegetation. There is a number you can call during your visit and if you press the number in front of something, it will give information on that plant. The cactus room had so many varieties of cacti! Cute place for an hour or so visit with a donation as your entry.

We went to The Botanical Gardens. It was beautiful. The people were friendly and I paid a quarter to feed the koi fish.

Pay what you can, suggested $5. Beautiful conservatory from the 1880's. The staff were very helpful and pointed out the fragrances of some really unique orchids! Worth dropping by if you're in the area for the zoo, or just in the area!

These people are horrible. Lied to my family about the air system and the owner supposedly unavailable to rectify the issue 2 hours before the event. My family had to bring fans from their homes. I would never recommend their services to anyone.

Conservatory with a nice sampling of plants and trees. It's all inside so we went on a dreary rainy day and enjoyed the visit. Figure about two hours should do it. BTW it's by voluntary donation. Typical $5 a head.
Zoo in the park closed at 4, So on a nice day go early and do both.

Love love love this hidden gem in Baltimore! The historic Rawlings conservatory hosts multiple greenhouses of varying temperatures and characteristics. The staff was lovely, the koi pond and waterfall was beautiful, and they had gorgeous annuals on sale for $4 so I took home 5 plants for my starter garden! 10/10 recommended!

Pro tip, bring quarters to get fish food. And bring a donation of at least 5 dollars for entry. They said its not required, but the guide waited for us to put in the money before we entered the greenhouses.

I like to thank 248 Create owner and staff for such a wonderful experience. Having my retirement party there in November was amazing. The space allowed me to create and execute my vision exactly how I saw it. The venue is large and I love the white walls. My guess was amazed by the space and what I was able to do with it . Thank you Miss Jasmine and your wonderful staff for being very professional and helpful with my event.
I definitely will be having my next event there.
Continue to be blessed 248!

My experience with the owner and some of the staff have been nothing less than great! I've had an issue with trying to schedule for an event this summer and still would love to have an event there before the year ends! I understand some folks being frustrated about cancelled events at the last minute! However It's totally out of the owners control as far as city laws/building codes are concerned so the owner would have no choice but to cancel at the last minute if the city/law enforces certain building codes at the last minute themselves! I'm pretty sure that the owner is taking all precautions to prevent any other last minute cancellations in the future without a fair time of notice due to law/city regulations!
Need to upgrade this rec
I use to come here for my mother's wedding reception!, and work there watching the kids while on probation for 50 hours, plus we had a family reunion!, but its been 33 years since I been there!

Paid in full last year for an event scheduled for this month, March 2022. Last week, the event was cancelled by this venue three days before the event date by TEXT because of licensing. We weren’t offered any accommodations and weren’t even sent the full refund at one time. We lost a lot of money having to cancel vendors at the last minute. Poor communication and cancelling a scheduled event three days prior (by text) is very unprofessional. Last week, the day before they cancelled my event, I found out that the owner was posting on Facebook asking for someone to install fire alarm systems and pull stations. Ridiculous! Two other people (so far) have contacted me with the same situation with this event hall within the last two days. The venue is now booking for May like they don’t keep cancelling peoples events and keep getting shut down with notices on the door.

We staged an event setup at 248 Event Space last weekend and my experience was exceptionally great. It was a pleasure working with the owner. Very professional, great customer service, very inviting & accommodating. I look forward to working with this venue again. Top notch experience!

Awesome from beginning to end, Words really can’t describe my experience. Not only was she amazing, her Mom assisted as well and was very helpful. Venue is beautiful, great location and safe to say Jaz is stuck with me for life, do your self a favor and book 😊
Amazing teachers!
Awesome staff and variety of programs...Safe haven for children
I know some people that grow up in that area and they like to be taken there every now and then to reminisce. I have nothing positive or negative to say about this location.
My daughter's school
Never been there but my son school is close by and I left the area
It is very messy and the bathroom is dirty including the stalls🤮
Northrop Grumman donated a lot of money to give the kids a great newly remodeled place to play
Great Recreation center, plenty of fun interest activities.
Great place to vote
The best school 📝
I go to this school and i learn a lot
We we came to this Center sometime ago to check it out and see if we would like it. My kids have made this location their second home for three plus years. One of my kids worked here as a summer counselor and really enjoyed it. There are a lot of kids that need the guidance provided by the adults at this location.
Clean and fun place for the community
