With a world-class aquarium, major sporting events and fantastic food, Baltimore is filled with things to do and see. The prime spot for activity is the Inner Harbor, where you'll find the Harborside Shopping Pavilion, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the National Aquarium, Port Discovery and much, much more. Plus, there are a number of historical sites nearby, including Mount Vernon and Federal Hill.

• Attractions.
  Let the kids go wild at Port Discovery, the Kid-Powered Museum. With three floors of interactive exhibits, there's something for everyone.
  Learn the history of baseball and tour Babe Ruth's Birthplace and Museum, listed as a national historic site.
  Enjoy a great Italian meal in Baltimore's own Little Italy and then take a stroll through the quaint streets.

  Visit the Baltimore Zoo, home to more than 2,000 exotic animals in a wooded, 180-acre setting.

  Our nation's anthem will unfold before you when you visit the star shaped Fort McHenry. Tour the historical site that defended the Baltimore Harbor in the War of 1812 and inspired Francis Scott Key to pen The Star-Spangled Banner.
• Sporting Adventures. If there's one thing that the people of Baltimore are crazy about, it's baseball, played right in the Inner Harbor in Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Another exciting sporting event in the area is the Preakness Stakes, part of the prestigious Triple Crown of horse racing. It's held every May at the oldest racetrack in Maryland, the Pimlico Racecourse.
• Local Cuisine. Given its seaside location, it's not surprising that Baltimore has its fair share of great seafood restaurants. But for a true culinary experience, you'll want to stop by one of the many crabhouses you'll come across to try the popular local dish, the Crab Cake. What's so special about it? It's made with Maryland Blue Crabs, which are found predominantly in the brackish waters of the Chesapeake Bay.

• Come see the Portland Head Light lighthouse illuminate over 200 years of history. George Washington ordered its construction in 1787. Today it is the most photographed lighthouse in North America, and deserves a snap in your photo album.

Departing from the pier, you will enjoy a scenic drive on the 27-mile Park Loop Road offering spectacular coastal, mountain and forest scenery. With much of the land donated by John D. Rockefeller, you will also see the romantic stone-cut bridges and evidence of the elaborate carriage trails built by his family at the turn of the last century.
Home to over 50 species of animals, keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles and white tail deer as you make your way around the Park Loop Road.

Founded by Loyalists escaping the Revolutionary War in 1785, Saint John has emerged as a thriving port city. Its restored historic waterfront and surrounding natural beauty have made Saint John a wonderful destination.

Fun Things to Do:
• Experience the amazing Reversing Falls Rapids, Saint John's best-known attraction. Twice daily the powerful tides of the Bay of Fundy rise faster than the river can empty. When this happens, the tide attempts to push the river back upstream, then the tide ebbs and the river appears to reverse itself and flow over the rocks, creating the appearance of reversing rapids.
• Visit the historic Trinity Anglican Church, which dates from 1877, when the original structure was destroyed in the Great Fire. Shop at your leisure in the antique and specialty shops located along Prince William Street, then through the Old City Market on Germain Street. Downtown, you can explore Kind Square and walk past the Imperial Theater, Old Country Courthouse and the Loyalist Burial Grounds.
• Visit St. Martin's Sea Caves and Beach, where you'll see caves carved out by the pounding tides, as well as the rock-covered beach. St. Martins' twin-covered bridges, harbor area and lighthouse are favorites with photographers and painters.
• Explore Fort Howe, built in 1777 to serve as both protection for the harbor and as the city jail. The building itself is now closed, but the rocky promontory on which it sits offers an excellent panoramic view of the city and harbor.

Departing the pier, your coach and kilted guide take you on a journey through the modern city of Halifax then along the coastal Lighthouse Route to a rustic fishing village where 60 people live year round. The power and majesty of the Atlantic Ocean comes to life in this tiny coastal village as you experience it for yourself by seeing the impressive rock formations left by eroding glaciers and granite, hundreds of millions of years old that dominate the landscape.
Then you'll truly appreciate why this picturesque seaside village, with its stately lighthouse, has been an inspiration for artists and writers for generations. You will also have the opportunity to touch a live lobster!

Listen as your guides spins the tales of the Cove how it got its name, the story of its lighthouse, and the lobster fishery that is the backbone of the local economy.
See the different types of traps used and even touch a live lobster! Your tour guide will highlight the tribute to the people of Peggy's Cove at the deGarthe monument, carved from a massive slab of granite by local artist William deGarthe. You will also have time to visit the shops and galleries or explore the rocks on your own.

See the historic lighthouse and send a special memento home with the famous lighthouse postage stamp (available in the Sou Wester Restaurant). Then, return to Halifax via the Lighthouse Route as it winds its way through the seaside villages that line the historic St. Margaret's Bay.
