Make a rainy day great! On rainy weekends when my 3 boys NEED to get put of the house, the Maryland Science Center is a great opportunity to get my kids stimulated in a STEM environment. Hands on demonstrations and experiments help keep it fresh.
One thing that was odd: in the men's 1st floor bathroom, there were three sinks, but only 1 soap dispenser. Between the grubby children and their parents, having only 1 soap dispenser creates a bottleneck in the worst place possible.

Great museum. Very large. Great for social distancing. The kids dedicated area is nice but a little dated. The dinosaur 🦕 area is great. And lots of interactive places for the kids to experiment, learn, touch & feel. Going around 1030 was nice - not that many people in the museum—it felt like we had it for ourselves. And if you’re a member at other like museums from your state, use the reciprocity - helped us get in for free.
This was our first time here. My wife and our son enjoyed it very much. We will be back. Everyone here is super sweet and accommodating with my service dog and I. I'm really impressed with how massive the exhibits are. This is a beautiful place with many great opportunities to be explored.
I love Science Centers like this and always visit them, from FL, WI, and now MD! The Science Center is big, really big, three to four stories big if I recall correctly, spacious enough for anyone and very clean with a pleasant atmosphere to boot! Exhibits are varied in a good way and both interactive based AND look and see based, with my personal favorites being the dinosaur ones and extensive space Exhibit! Staff was good, not the best but not the worse and the ones based around the Exhibits and gift shop were really nice! My only complaints are the price was steep and parking SUCKS AND DEMANDS BEING PAID FOR, but aside from that? Like all others I've been too the Maryland Science Center was really fun and worth going to!
Images are of the outside and inside of the building, various Exhibits, gift shop, and Souvenir I got!

The Science center is really a fun place. Go solo or with the family, but lots to do here. In my opinion, it wasn't too crowded. First thing, get that parking ticket validated!
Wish there were more security or employees around. A child basically took the ball of the hovering ball exhibit and started to play with it away from the exhibit. Otherwise, most people took turns, shared, and very respectful to the other patrons.
Learned a lot and had fun with the family. Will definitely be back.

First of all, Baltimore City teachers should know that they can get in absolutely free with their teacher IDs. It’s an amazing perk.
I cannot say enough good things about the Science Center. It has something for kids as young as maybe 2 all the way up to their teen years. Almost every single thing is meant to be hands-on, and the breadth of exhibits spread over three stories is so wide you can’t easily take it all in in a day. We have been twice already and there are still things we haven’t done and seen.
It is wheelchair and stroller accessible, with multiple elevators spaced around the building, and the exhibit spaces are so spacious we never felt cramped even with our long two-seat stroller.
There are also several clean public bathrooms, a cafe and a gift shop.
I cannot recommend this place enough! It’s right up there with the aquarium as a no brainer visit for families with kids.

Great museum for kids. We visited during spring break so it was a bit crowded but expected. The museum consisted of three different floors with lots of interactive exhibits for children to explore. There is also a demo stage where a quick science experiment is demonstrated. I would recommend the museum to families.
