Baltimore Field Trips

A field trip to Baltimore with Colonial Capital Tours begins when Capt. John Smith sailed into Baltimore's unexplored harbor to how the city evolved over the years. Baltimore's story is America's Story.

The highlight of Baltimore is the Baltimore Inner Harbor. Many of the famous historical attractions are situated in close proximity to the Inner Harbor such as Shot Tower, Fell's Point, Mount Vernon Place, Federal Hill and Basilica of the National Shrine. We will also visit Fort McHenry National Monument where Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner as the Fort was under attack by British forces during the Battle of Baltimore.

Your Baltimore field trip may also include visits to the Baltimore Aquarium and the Maryland Science Center featuring its IMAX and 3D theaters. For baseball fans, a behind the scenes tour is available at Orioles Park at Camden Yards. Harbor cruises depart from the Inner Harbor for a relaxing, narrated sail of Baltimore Harbor with all its history. There is even a water taxi that transfers you to different points in the Inner Harbor.

A field trip to Baltimore would not be complete without a visit to some of Baltimore's other well known attractions such as the Edgar Allan Poe House, Baltimore Maritime Museum, Baltimore Museum of Art and the B&O Railroad Museum.

Your Baltimore field trip could only be enhanced by a visit to the capital of Maryland, Annapolis, located on the scenic Chesapeake Bay. Tour the Annapolis Naval Academy along with the Academy Museum and Memorial Chapel. Your field trip to Baltimore will also include a stroll through the charming historic town of Annapolis, a tour of the Maryland State House and a visit to the Annapolis Maritime Museum.
