Baltimore has often been ignored as an educational student tour, field trip, and student travel destination, but due to its great location and astonishing attractions, it is quickly gaining in popularity. Snuggled nicely between Washington DC & Philadelphia, Baltimore is emerging as a great place for student tour groups traveling, as the city has plenty of new and great attractions to offer. Baltimore is home to the B & O Railroad, the USS Constellation, Babe Ruth's birthplace, Edgar Allen Poe, and many other outstanding people and landmarks. The city has also invested heavily into the Inner Harbor Region, a favorite of educational student tours groups. At the Inner Harbor, you will notice plenty of fun and thrilling things to do, including the National Aquarium & Harborplace-a true urban market with over 160 of the most famous shops in the United States.
A wonderful place to start a student tour in Baltimore is the star-shaped Fort McHenry. This embattled fortress, during the War of 1812, was the inspiration for Francis Scott Key who penned the "Star-Spangled Banner", our National Anthem. Following the same historical note, groups enjoy a visit to the USS Constellation, where you can see a canon firing or take a "powder monkey tour". An exciting way to see Baltimore is to enjoy a harbor cruise or take a amazing ride abroad an authentic Clipper Ship. Visit the Flag House, the Baltimore Zoo, the Incandescent Lighting Museum, or any of dozens of other sites and attractions.
After visiting the city, why not cap off a great trip with a visit to Six Flags America. This splendid theme park offers thrills and excitement for all ages. Optional meal tickets are also available for groups of 20 or more.
