It was clean, safe, no exposed edges, brick, corners, metal bars, etc., the usual you expect to see. The staff was attentive and easy going - perfect for me. I called and left a message prior to showing up and they called back immediately. The rate is incredibly affordable for open play and I loved the fact that they have so many different types of activities. It's as much of a gym as a play space and all was fun. The toys were in good shape, not beat up, and seemed 100% age appropriate. Loved the turtles in front too. Home run.

The business had stopped using latex balloons in their open gym area in place of latex balloons. We…read morehad expressed excitement of this fact due to our daughters severe latex allergy and how the balloons being gone made it safer for our daughter to play there. A staff member stated she had heard the same thing from other patrons and stated an intention to not start using the latex balloons again. We started frequenting their open gym more often because she could play there safely. In fact my daughter has been to 3 other birthday parties here this school year and there were no latex balloons. In fact at the last party, the owner even recalled my daughters name from memory. Due to how much my children love this establishment and how it was a safe environment, we planned a large joint birthday party for our daughter with her good friend. I was shocked to find my son playing with a few latex balloons about 30 minutes into the party. I then found other latex balloons scattered around the play area. I quickly picked them all up and asked a staff member to make them all disappear due to the severity of my daughters allergy. The staff member said she would but they remained where I put them for the rest of the party. I then noticed my daughter had two hives on her neck. I took her out if the gym area and immediately gave her Benadryl and got out her epi pens just in case. My daughter ended up with over 15 hives all over her body, was extremely emotional and didn't enjoy any part of the remainder of her birthday party (which she had been looking forward to for months). As the party was ending the owner of the establishment showed up. I told him what had happened and asked him why the balloons were suddenly back. The owner showed no concern at all for my daughters well being and claimed there was never a plan to stop using latex at the gym (though we had been to the gym for parties and open gym/free play since September 2016 and there have never been balloons present. He did not care that my daughter was having a severe allergic reaction and this special party was ruined for my daughter. When I expressed that he should stop using latex balloons, he made it clear that he had no intention to do so. Realize the balloons are one minor part of a large children's gym. When not using the latex balloons, they used beach balls which worked great. There is absolutely no need to have latex balloons present. The only thing I can think of is that the owner has switched back to balloons to save a few cents. I explained to the owner that we could not be customers at his establishment if he continued to use latex balloons and he had an "oh well" response. Since coming home we've had to continue to give our daughter medication to treat her allergic reaction as well as deal with a very emotional and quite sad 6 year old whose party she had been looking forward to for months was ruined. She felt so horrible she was unable to even eat her cake. For a place that is supposed to provide a safe environment for your children to explore, try new things and get out energy (by using the zip line, jumping in the foam block pit, climbing the inflatable wall, swinging on the large rope, etc), the owners clear lack of concern for my daughters health and well being makes me wonder how safe the other attractions are for all children. Safety does not seem to be anywhere near the owner and staffs main priority. If your child has allergies I would recommend staying away from BusyBodies. The owner clearly does not get the seriousness of allergies.

A paved health trail, multiple playgrounds, and a little lending library (books ranging from the Magic Treehouse to Bill Bryson and MFK Fisher) make this a family-friendly spot. The amphitheater view of Watts Creek was a great spot to recharge watching fish jump, hear frogs, and spy a lizard or two creeping the trees. Denton has groceries and other amenities within driving or biking distance, and The Martinak Boat and interpretive signs were neat. Alas, the nature center by the pavilion was closed during the week, and Martinak is rehabbing trails and the boat launch--no sunset views from the Point Trail at present. The park is at least up front about these two bummer's and hopefully work will be complete soon. We still has an excellent camping experience despite the construction. Use the dump station at nearby Tuckahoe State Park as the Martinak dump station's closed. Bring a kite to fly in that nice field by the park entrance, and enjoy bird watching. Woodpeckers, song birds, river raptors, even a blue bird appeared in our short stay.

When I started planning my very first trip to St. Michaels, there was one attraction that made the…read moreitinerary before almost anything else: the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. I'd heard so many people rave about it that I figured it deserved a few hours of my vacation. Turns out...a few hours wasn't nearly enough! Admission was $22 for adults, and one of my favorite surprises was learning that your ticket is good for two consecutive days. A volunteer at the front desk gave me a wonderful overview of the property, explained how everything worked and made sure I knew I was welcome to come back the following day as long as I didn't lose my admission sticker. That's tremendous value for everything there is to see! The first thing I realized after walking through the doors? This isn't just a museum. It's an entire waterfront campus! The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum sits right on the Miles River and includes historic buildings, floating vessels, exhibitions, gardens, a working shipyard where traditional wooden boats are still restored and built, and enough history to keep you wandering for hours. Whether you're interested in Chesapeake Bay history, boats, lighthouses, watermen or simply beautiful places to explore, there's something here for just about everyone. Now...in true to me fashion...I headed straight for the gift shop before I looked at anything else. My philosophy is simple: shop first, think about it while I explore, and if I still love it by the time I leave, I already own it. Except...that didn't exactly happen this time. I found something I loved immediately, bought it right away and happily carried my purchase around the museum for the rest of my visit. RELATED SIDEQUEST & PRO TIP: While I was wandering through the gift shop, I overheard another visitor asking an employee if they sold U.S. Lighthouse Society Lighthouse Passport books. Wait...what passport?! Excuse me while I casually eavesdrop. A very quick Google search later, I had fallen headfirst into yet another travel rabbit hole. Apparently there's an entire Lighthouse Passport Program where visitors collect official lighthouse stamps from locations all over the country. Well...that sounds dangerously like something I would absolutely obsess over! The museum has an official lighthouse stamp available at the front desk, so even though I don't own the passport yet, I stamped a blank piece of paper to tuck safely away until I order one. I have a sneaking suspicion I'll be back to stamp the real thing someday! PRO TIP: Get your lighthouse passport before you go! I spent the next several hours wandering the campus completely at my own pace. One thing I really appreciated was that the museum lets you create your own experience. Some exhibits fascinated me, others I breezed through, and there was never any pressure to see things in a particular order. It felt more like exploring than touring. The museum itself was fantastic and easily worth the $22 admission. More than anything, I came away impressed by how much pride everyone there takes in preserving and sharing the history of the Chesapeake Bay. It's clear this isn't simply a collection of artifacts. It's a place that's actively keeping an important part of Maryland's history alive. Whether you're visiting St. Michaels for a weekend or just passing , I'd absolutely recommend making time for the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. And while you're there...don't forget to get your lighthouse passport stamp!

This isn't the type of adventure you can show up to on a whim. You have to schedule a visit in advance. I scheduled a date and time over the phone. They took my credit card info, a contact number and my kids' names. The first date I scheduled was cancelled due to inclement weather. Pirate Adventures called and cancelled the adventure about three hours prior to when it was supposed to start. I elected to reschedule right then. I was instructed to arrive a half hour before our adventure so the kids could get their faces painted and pick out a sash. We parked on the street a few blocks away not realizing they have a parking lot. We checked in, the kids were given name tags with their name and an alliterative adjective (ie Zig Zag Zora and Kung Fu Kieran) and then reported to the face painting and sash picking area. After face painting kids and adults boarded the boat and the Chesapeake part of the adventure began. The captain went over a few safety measures with the adults while his assistant went through guidelines with the kids. The adventure has a whole story with different parts involved that kept the seven kids on our adventure entertained. Ages ranged from probably three to fourteen. These parts included a map search, treasure hunt, key finding expedition, pirate fight and a final pirate bounty quest. For the adults, we just hung out under a shaded portion of the boat. I got up to interact with my kids a few times and to snap some pictures. Mostly I just enjoyed the boat ride. The whole adventure lasted almost two hours (counting face painting). If you have kids that love to pretend and don't mind riding a boat, Pirate Adventures on the Chesapeake might be right up their alley.
