Important Update
At this time, Port Discovery will continue requiring online ticket purchase in advance of your visit, and you will be required to complete a health screen upon arrival. We ask that you please continue to stay home and not visit the Museum if you are sick.
Our visitor services staff will continue to be masked, we will continue to regularly clean surfaces, exhibits, and toys before, during, and after your visit, and will keep capacity limited so that there is room for play and physical distancing.
If you have any questions about this updated mask requirement, please contact us at 410.727.8120. We hope to see you for a day full of play, learning, and magical memories soon!
