Taking you over the Susquehanna River, which feeds the Chesapeake Bay. Be aware that it is a toll bridge. The bridge is named after Millard Tydings, who was at one point a U.S. Senator for Maryland. Construction was completed in November 1963 and has been carrying millions of vehicles since then. As for the toll, this is one of eight toll facilities in Maryland. Tolls are only collected going northbound and can be a bit hefty. $8 for toll-by-plate or out-of-state E-ZPass, $6 for those in state with a Maryland purchased E-ZPass. It once had a toll plaza, but a pandemic switched that up and it went all electronic.

Tydings Memorial Bridge carries Interstate 95 over the Susquehanna River between Havre de Grace and Perryville. Completed in 1963 at a cost of $11 million, it was dedicated by President John F. Kennedy just eight days before his assassination. Named for longtime Maryland senator Millard Tydings, the bridge was part of the Northeast Expressway, later renamed the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway. It's a vital link in the I-95 corridor, handling tens of millions of vehicles annually. Architecturally, the bridge is a no-frills steel deck truss structure. It spans over 5,000 feet with a main span of 490 feet and a clearance of 90 feet below, allowing ships to pass beneath. The design prioritizes strength and efficiency over aesthetics, and it shows. There are no decorative elements, no pedestrian access, and no scenic overlooks. Just six lanes of traffic and warning signs about crosswinds. As a driving experience, it's fine. The views of the river are brief and bracketed by concrete barriers. It's a workhorse of infrastructure, reliable and unadorned, serving its purpose without fanfare. If you're looking for charm or character, you won't find it here--but you will get across the river. [Review 1157 of 2025 - 675 in Maryland - 24710 overall]

Last Saturday, we visited the largest, permanent, model railroad display in the mid-Atlantic, owned…read moreby the Baltimore Society for Model Engineers. The Society was founded in March 1932 and is the oldest exclusively model railroad club in the United States. They maintain 2,500 square feet of model railroad displays of steam and diesel freight and passenger trains and trolleys, plus so much more. It was fun to see all the parts of the display - it really gives you a glimpse into the history of railroading. It is not easy to find, as the doorway is tucked into the left front center of the building and the society is located on the third floor with no elevator. The display is normally open on the second Sunday of each month, except May.

I thought there was nothing to do near Aberdeen MD but I am so glad I found this place. I didn't expect a museum in a middle of the park to be so big and so good. The museum consists of about five different buildings with different theme in each one. Don't want to spoil it, just go. I figured I wouldn't spend more than an hour since I didn't think it would be that big. But I ended up spending almost three hours there! The main reason this museum is so great is the volunteers!!! Thank you so much each and every one of you (if you happen to read this). There is a volunteer working in each building (one was empty since the volunteer didn't show up[but you can still go in there]). All the volunteers are so knowledgeable and so friendly! They know everything! One guide/volunteer was asked a question to which he didn't know the answer to. He actually went out to find the answer from other volunteers! Even if you don't want to explore the museums the whole area is lovely to walk around. I saw a deer. For someone who lives in NY, that alone is enough to make my day. Anyways, once again THANX to all the volunteers and workers! You guys make this museum. For potential visitors, don't even debate if you should go there, JUST GO! But be prepared to spend at least two hours there! It's well worth it. BTW apparently people have weddings here too! I don't know if this would be my choice for a wedding location, but definitely worth revising!

You can use the Bluetooth for the speakers on the boat. There are cushioned seats and a table in the middle which makes it nice for holding drinks. It's fun and you can have multiple people onboard. I plan to do this again! I went with a friend but I definitely want to do this again with a group. Happy this finally came to Baltimore and i think its better pricing than renting a full character.

You can sit up close or in the upper seats and still have a great seat, unless you are near the outfield. The staff are very helpful. The only problem with the stadium is the heat that gets trapped in the walkway on hot days. We stood in the concession line and my nieces and nephews nearly exhausted themselves because of the heat.

I've passed the stadium many times as it's located just off Interstate 95 in northern Maryland and can be seen from the highway. It's one of the few minor league ballparks I've visited with free parking. Tickets are a bit more expensive than other minor league games I've been to, but still substantially cheaper than attending a MLB game, and you're much closer to the action on the field. There doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the ballpark, and the sightlines are great regardless of where you're sitting. There are picnic tables and a kids play area set up in left field. As is typical of sporting venues, concessions are overpriced and the hot dogs, nachos, ice cream, and other food items our group tried were pretty underwhelming in terms of quality. The team store had a decent variety of merchandise, but was similarly overpriced. Many of the concession stands were closed with low attendance for an April game against the Brooklyn Cyclones, but I'm sure they open up when the summer season ramps up and attendance rises. Overall, it was a fun and low maintenance day at the ballpark, but I'd rank the overall experience a 3.5/5 at best compared to other minor league ballparks I've been to.
