a week agoWe went today for the first time around 1. Spent around 2 hours here. I highly suggest taking your little ones to this museum! It was very interesting for us adults as well. They have a kids room where they can play and sit on an old Mack fire truck. Fire outfits to dress up in, a train table, books, kept our 4 year old entertained. They have working old fire alarm boxes in the back and it was neat to learn about them. Their staff is run by volunteers and everyone was friendly and knowledgeable!

2 months agoInteresting museum to learn local history and the technology in this field. It was interesting to learn all the tools and how they develop and advance to mitigate the problems with fire. Mostly it was the fire trucks from 1800s and 1900s. They also had a special room talking about fire alarms and how they advance. There is a kids play room for children to dress up and take photos. Lots of parking Check the website before visiting. They might the free admission day :) Cool museum to visit :)

10 months agoIt had been many years since we last visited this museum. I must say it is a most impressive place to go. It is perfect for all ages, plenty of extremely cool machines and things for the little ones. What I really liked is that it is a museum first, with things for children second. A very nice play with fire equipment and clothes to try on. The gift area was just the right size, not taking up to much space or offering any cheesy products

a year agoThe Fire Museum of Maryland is a true delight! It offers a wonderful variety of activities for kids, keeping them engaged and entertained throughout the visit. Moreover, the museum provides an insightful journey into the history of firefighting. During our time there, we were particularly intrigued by the exhibit on the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904, which highlighted the city's resilience in the face of adversity. Additionally, learning about the crucial role of horse-drawn steam engines in early firefighting efforts was both informative and fascinating. Overall, the museum strikes a perfect balance between fun and learning, making it a must-visit for families and history buffs alike.
