Known forscience centerplanetariumimaxdinosaurs
One of the oldest science centers in the country, with three floors of hands-on exhibits, a strong dinosaur hall, the Davis Planetarium and a giant IMAX screen right on the Inner Harbor. It's a reliable rainy-day win for families with elementary-age kids. Admission is on the pricey side and IMAX costs extra, and it skews younger, so teens and adults may find it lighter than expected.
