As a mother of two kids under 10 yeard old as well as a newcommer to the Baltimore area, I found this book extremely helpful in finding things to do with my kids. The book is laid out wonderfully.It seaperates activitie into seasons which I found extremely helpful. It also let you in on some "inside secret" place to take your kids that cost little or no money. Each activity and place had excellent directions,hours of openings,Phone numbers to get addional information as well as admission costs. I had borrowed this book from a friend and found it so helpful that I bought my own copy! A super and must have resouce good for anyone with children new or old to Baltimore!
